Abstract
The invention relates to a method for dispensing flat forms, such as labels, stickers, transdermal therapeutic systems, flat medicaments for oral application, etc, in a controlled manner. According to said method, the outer contour of the flat form ( ) is punched out from a strip-shaped starting material and connecting bridges ( ) hold the flat form ( ) and the edge of the punched layer together. These connecting bridges ( ) break when the flat forms are dispensed via a deflector edge ( ). The inventive method can be advantageously used for packing individual flat forms in primary packaging. The invention also relates to a specialised punching device used in the method.
