Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0654435A2] The invention relates to a method, an apparatus and a container for the despatch of printed products. The method according to the invention is characterised essentially in that the printed products arrive, in reusable containers matched to their format, at their respective despatch points. These reusable containers can then be reused after being transported back to a packaging station. The containers which can be used for this purpose are characterised essentially in that they have free spaces, extending from the container bottom to the upper container edge, for access to printed products to be deposited therein. The apparatus according to the invention, which is to be employed for the packaging, is characterised by a magazine for receiving reusable containers stacked one in the other, out of which magazine the containers can be extracted individually in order to be filled with printed products. <IMAGE>
