Process and apparatus for processing printing products

摘要

The pack-forming unit (12) brings printing products into a tube-like form and sheathes them with a retaining element. The packs (20) thus formed are ejected into a first stack compartment (22) which is emptied into a second stack compartment (24) as soon as a certain number of packs (20) are stacked in it. A strap (30) is then laid around the stacked packs (20), in order to keep the latter together to form a bundle (32) which can be easily handled.
