An apparatus for transporting folding packaging material forms in the tobacco-processing industry, particularly carton forms for cigarette hard packs that have been scored or pre-punched along fold lines, from a feed station to a processing station. A rotary table is mounted for rotation about an essentially vertical axis.

At least one of the lateral holders is movable from a feeding position into a holding position relative to the oppositely-located lateral holder.
