[origin: EP4019438A1] A system (100) for forming units (B) of packages (A) to be packed, each comprising a multiple of a number n of packages (A); the system (100) comprises seats (1) for accommodating stacks of packages (A), a store (2) of packages (A), loading means (3) for loading the seats (1) with stacks of packages (A), displacement means (4) for displacing the packages (A) from the store (2) to the seats (1) and vice versa, movement means (6) for moving compartments (61) to receive packages (A), transfer means (5) for transferring the packages (A) from the seats (1) to the compartments (61) and control and command means (7). The control and command means (7) are advantageously configured so that the number of packages (A) in each seat (1) is equal to the number n or to zero and the movement means (6) are configured to make the compartments (61) available in sequence on the base of the seats (1) with a number of packages (A) equal to the number n. Also described are a method for forming units (B) of packages (A) from two or more lines (C) and a computer program.
