ABSTRACT:
To transport, store, process and handle and distribute a plurality of printed products, retained in cassettes on a minimum of space, the cassettes are vertically stored, preferably in pairs. Transport can occur in a predetermined plane, of full and empty cassettes, respectively, the cassettes being moved within the storage elements by horizontal and vertical or lift transport elements, so that the cassettes can be moved in all directions of the three-dimensional storage structures and removed from any one position. The cassettes can be loaded on carts or carriages and coupled together to be moved in form of trains by a drive head (28) past product delivery stations, such as folding apparatus (9, 13) coupled to printing machine units (1-8), for placement in the storage racks; and removed from the cassettes, collected in groups in pivotable holders (116-119), with two, each, holders facing each other and pivoting towards each other so that the groups of products in the holders will be cross-positioned on the delivery or removal apparatus, for example a transport belt (124).
