ABSTRACT:
Recumbent stacks of printed products are produced and strapped by supplying the printed products from above onto a conveying surface (2) where they are lined up in an upright position forming a continuously growing stack (6), separating discreet stacks (7) from the growing stack, stabilizing the discreet stacks with endplates (4), and conveying the stabilized stacks to a strapping position (12), in which a loop of strapping material is tightened around the stack (7). For conveying and strapping, the isolated stack (7) is gripped between two compression jaws (10, 11) that extend into the stack area (16) from a first side. In the strapping position (12), a strapping device (30) is situated on the side opposite the stack area (16). For strapping, at least part of the strapping device is moved horizontally in relation to the stack, and transverse to the stacking direction (S), thereby placing a loop of the strapping material around the stack. The loop is then tightened and closed around the stack and the compression jaws (10, 11) and the strapped stack is separated from the compression jaws by moving the stack (7) and the compression jaws (10, 11) relative to each other, horizontally and transverse to the stacking direction.
