Abstract

A device for combining an auxiliary stack with a main stack includes an auxiliary stack carrier which holds the auxiliary stack and which can be moved out of the stack area for combining the stacks. A holding device firmly holds a lower sheet of the auxiliary stack and an upper sheet of the main stack as the auxiliary stack carrier is moved out of the stack area, in order to maintain a good stack structure. A sheet-fed printing press or sheet punching machine having the device is also provided.
