Abstract
There is described a method for processing stacks () of sheets of securities, especially banknotes, into bundles () and bundle packs (), said sheets each having an array of security prints printed thereon which array comprises M columns and N rows. According to this method, each stack () of sheets is processed into M successive bundle groups () of N individual bundles () each and these M successive bundle groups () are stored in M separate storage areas (), which storage areas () are vertically superposed, whereby each one of the M successive bundle groups () is stored in a predetermined one of the M separate storage areas (). Subsequent stacks () of sheets are processed, whereby each one of the M successive bundle groups () processed from said subsequent stacks () of sheets is piled in the same predetermined one of said M separate storage areas () as the first stack () of sheets. When K stacks () of sheets have been processed, each storage area () contains a complete set () of N bundle packs () of K bundles () each. There is also described a bundle collating system () for collecting the bundles () processed according to the above collating method.
