Abstract

A method for forming pairs of packs, comprising providing a supply of individual packs ( 100 ), arranging a first pack in a vertical transport device ( 40 ), arranging a second pack in the vertical transport device ( 40 ), thereby arranging the second pack vertically spaced from the first pack in the vertical transport device ( 40 ). The method further comprises vertically transporting the first and the second pack in the vertical transport device, then simultaneous pushing the first and second packs as a pair of packs out of the vertical transport device and into a receiving device ( 50 ), wherein the first and second packs are transferred in a vertically spaced manner as the pair of packs to the receiving device and are arranged in a vertically spaced manner in the receiving device.
