A device for guiding signatures between signature-guiding cylinders in a folding apparatus of a rotary printing press includes a guide member extending over the length of the signature-guiding cylinders for receiving signatures thereon, the guide member being disposed relative to the signature-guiding cylinders so as to facilitate a reversal of transport direction of the signatures, a support member whereon the guide member is rotatably supported, at least one conveyor belt for driving the guide member, and a device for applying negative pressure, during rotation of the guide member, to peripheral regions of the guide member and between the guide member and a respective signature received thereon.
