Abstract

An apparatus (10) for inserting blister packs (1) into collapsible cardboard boxes (2) has an inserter (40) and a covering tab (58). During a stationary phase of a first conveyor device (15) that supplies the blister packs (1), the inserter (40) and covering tab (58) transfer the blister packs (1) into the collapsible cardboard box (2) supplied by a second conveyor device (11). In order to be able to execute a format change without replacement of the inserter (40) or adaptation of the covering tab (58), the invention proposes driving the inserter (40) and the covering tab (58) by means of servomotors (32 to 34).
