The invention relates to laminate segments equipped or coated with an adhesive matrix, particularly transdermal therapeutic systems having formulations strongly tending to leak adhesive. The inventive laminate segments include a matrix, with or without a back layer, a protective layer on the adhesive side of the matrix, provided with a cut as a peel-off aid, and a cover film partially coated with adhesive, applied to the protective film, which overlaps the cut in the protective film using the adhesive-free part thereof. The cover film prevents a leakage of the adhesive through the cut, and therefore a gluing together of the laminate segments to the packaging material thereof, without having an adverse effect on the function of the cut as a peel-off aid. Such laminate segments can be produced without the use of any intermediate carriers.

The invention relates to a method for grouping a multitude of film-like or sheet-like materials, which are stacked in a magazine () and which consist of at least one material layer, using at least one suction apparatus (), which suctions the film-like or sheet-like materials in a clocked matter while removing them from the magazine, whereby one film-like or sheet-like material at a time directly rests with a portion of its surface that forms a contact surface against the suction device. To this end, one portion of the magazine contents consists of gas-impermeable film-like or sheet-like materials whereas another portion contains film-like or sheet-like materials that are each provided with at least one gas-permeable zone. The invention develops a method for grouping film-like or sheet-like materials during which a number of film-like or sheet-like materials can be grouped without impairing the speed of subsequent processing.
