A method for filling packs with products, in particular for filling boxes with multipacks of cigarette packs in which several products are put together to form a product group. The completeness of the product group is detected by a first control device. Several product groups are put together by a handling device to form a group of product groups and are inserted into the pack, wherein the presence of the group in the pack and/or the completeness of the group of product groups is detected by a second control device. The feeding of groups to the pack is repeated where necessary until a provided number of groups have been filled into the pack, which corresponds to a required quantity of groups or product groups in the pack, and the presence of the groups in the pack is detected or documented by a control device, in particular the second control device.

Method and apparatus for filling packs with products

A method and device for producing bundle packages, in particular bundle packages () for cigarettes (cigarette carton), wherein a group of packs (), in particular cigarette packs, is encased in an outer casing () to form the bundle package (), and wherein the packs () respectively exhibit a code (), in particular a barcode, and the group of packs () is encased in the outer casing () such that the code () of the packs () is not concealed by the outer casing () and that a means () for concealing the code of the packs (), in particular a pre-cut piece (), such as an (adhesive) label, and a code () for the bundle package () are subsequently arranged on the bundle package (). The bundle package () is fed to a coding station () for applying the code () for the bundle package () to the outer casing () and/or for affixing the means () for concealing the code () of the packs (), the bundle package (), at least in the region of the coding station (), being transported by a cyclically driven conveying means (), and that the code () and/or the concealing means () are affixed in the coding station () during a brief standstill of the conveying means ().
