1.1. Apparatus (packaging machine) for the packaging of articles of differing size. 2.1. In packaging technology, it is often necessary to solve the problem of producing packs of differing size on one and the same packaging machine. As a rule, adapting this to the different pack formats requires considerable conversion work. This in turn involves lengthy standstill phases of the packaging machine. 2.2. To make it easier for the packaging machine to be changed over to different pack formats, packaging members, especially folding members, critical for the packaging process are provided in the form of a plurality of, preferably two sets (40, 41). A particular set of packaging members is in the packaging position (43). A further (part) set is in an exchange position (44) for the exchange of individual or all packaging members for other formats. The format change is carried out in a simple way by bringing the set (40, 41) required for the particular size of the pack into the packaging position (43) as a result of a rotational or other movement. the standstill times of the packaging machine necessary for a format change are consequently minimal.
