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 to form packing units () consisting of at least two packs (). To this end, the successively conveyed packs () are tilted by 90&#xb0; in the region of a turning line () in such a way that the associated packs () are oriented towards each other in the correct relative position for the packing unit (). Every second pack () is delayed during the turning process so that it can be oriented towards the associated pack ().
