Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008125197A1] In order to form groups of packages (10), particularly cigarette packages, the packages (10) are fed into a grouping station (19) with no pressure, that is spaced from one another, in the production of bundled packages. A plurality of packages (10) corresponding to the group to be formed are taken over by a feed conveyor (21) and fed to the grouping station (19) along the conveyor direction. To the extent that empty spaces (53) occur when feeding the packages (1), packages (10) are fed to the grouping station from a repository (54).
