Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing packs () from at least two partial packs () to form one groups of packs () each of especially cuboid (cigarette) packs (), a one-piece blank () being folded along (embossed) fold lines () around the groups of packs () in such a way that mutually facing inner walls () of the partial packs () are folded in between the groups of packs () in a V shape. According to the invention, the substantially flat blank () is conveyed along a blank path () and, during the transport, is at least partially upset in such a way that the inner walls () are folded in a V shape along fold lines () arranged transversely with respect to the transport direction. The invention also relates to a corresponding device for carrying out the method.
