Abstract
The present invention includes a method and an apparatus () for handling flat material and/or film material wound onto rolls () and that serves as packaging material. Rolls (), which are at least partially unwound, are alternately removed from at least one installation position (EB; EB) of a packaging machine (), and in each case a new roll () of flat material and/or film material is mounted in the particular installation position (EB; EB). After each mounting, an externally arranged layer () is extracted from the particular new roll () near or in the area of its free end and is attached to a section of a material web being guided in the packaging machine (). The direction of rotation and/or rotation-direction-conforming orientation of the new roll () is determined and/or verified by means of a capture device.
