Abstract
Stacks of flexible sheets, such as printed slotted and scored corrugated paperboard box blanks, are inverted during travel along a sheet stacker. A plurality of sheet inverter fingers, each with a friction enhancing surface on a free end, are interdigitated between the belts of the sheet stacker. These fingers engage the leading ends of the stacks and invert the stacks during continued forward travel of the stacks.
