A method and apparatus for feeding sheet shaped blanks to an article. The blanks are extracted from a magazine by a blank conveyor at a first point, and, occasionally, more than one blank is erroneously extracted. To ensure that only one blank is conveyed to the article, all but one blank are removed at a second point. In the preferred embodiment, the blank or blanks is or are in such a fashion so as to permit a suction conveyor belt to detach all but one blank from the blank conveyor. Once detached, the erroneously extracted blanks are removed via air suction, and the remaining blank is conveyed to the article at a third point.
