Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for the formation of stacks of packagings (152) by stacking infusion bags (140), in which the infusion bags (140) are removed from a conveying stretch (100) on which the infusion bags (140) provided one behind the other are supplied to a removal station (102) in which the infusion bags (140) are removed from the conveying stretch (100) and are arranged resting against one another to form the stack of packagings (100) in a stack holding device (122; 300) which is emptied when a number of infusion bags (140) forming the stack of packagings (152) has been reached, where the removal of the infusion bags (140) from the conveying stretch (100) is not interrupted when the stack holding device (122; 300) is being emptied and at least one infusion bag (140) removed there is arranged upstream of the stack holding device (122; 300).
