Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019042775A1] The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing packs (10) for cigarettes, having a preferably continuously driven conveying means (32), in particular a transporting belt (42) having drivers (43), for the purpose of transporting the packs (10) in a predetermined conveying direction (44), and having a device for applying print carriers, such as revenue stamps (26), labels, coupons or the like, to a side surface of the packs (10), wherein the device has a holder (49) for at least one pack (10) and is intended to move the at least one pack (10) in the holder (49) into a relative position suitable for a printing carrier to be capable of being applied. The invention makes provision for the print carrier to be applied, by means of the device for applying print carriers, to a first side surface (23) of the pack (10), said first side surface being oriented counter to the conveying direction (44) of the packs (10) on the conveying means (32), such that a portion (54) of the print carrier projects laterally beyond the first side surface (23) of the pack (10), and that the projecting portion (54) can be folded, by means of a folding mechanism (55) of the device, against another, second side surface (14) of the pack (10), said second side surface being adjacent to the first side surface (23) of the pack (10).
