Providing blanks from a fibre web includes removing the blanks from removal regions and depositing the blanks in at least one deposit element. The blanks are then removed from the deposit elements in accordance with a sequence predefined by a layer-by-layer construction of a workpiece. The blanks that are individually removed from the removal regions are stacked on top of one another in the deposit elements in a sequence that corresponds to a layering sequence of the blanks in the workpiece. The blanks are then successively removed individually from the deposit elements in a sequence that is reversed with respect to the layering sequence of the blanks in the workpiece and are stacked on top of one another in a storage element before being successively removed from the storage element in the sequence predefined for constructing the workpiece layer-by-layer and inserted into a mould for producing the workpiece.

The invention relates to a magazine unit for fitting a brewing device with a portion capsule. The magazine has a storage magazine for storing portion capsules, said portion capsules being stacked one after the other in a stacking direction, and the magazine unit has a transporting means for transporting a portion capsule out of the storage magazine into the brewing device. The transporting means can be pivoted about a pivot axis between a removal position for removing the portion capsule from the storage magazine and a dispensing position for fitting the brewing device with the portion capsule, said pivot axis being perpendicular to the stacking direction.

A shipping system for shipping planar substrates includes a plurality of planar substrates stacked to form a pack and a plurality of interleaving material including substantially spherical beads positioned between the substrates of the pack and configured to carry a load. Substantially all of the beads have a diameter within 25% of D.sub.max, where D.sub.max is a diameter corresponding to a size of an opening of an upper limit sieve used in the shipping system. Also disclosed are a spacer for use in a shipping system for shipping planar substrates, a wrapped system for shipping planar substrates, a method of wrapping a system for shipping planar substrates, and a powder applicator.

A method for treating open cut edges of a packaging sleeve, blank or web material of a packaging material rolled up into a roll, in particular a composite cardboard/plastics material, by applying or introducing a disinfectant-containing treatment agent to or into the outer region of the cut edges. To provide a particularly resource-efficient composite packaging and a production method required for this purpose, it is proposed that at least some of the treatment agent is not applied directly to the cut edges, but that a load carrier is loaded, which load carrier absorbs the treatment agent so that an actively sterilising atmosphere which is created then acts on the open cut edges of the packaging sleeve, blank or web material and performs the desired sterilisation. The invention also relates to a packaging material, to a combipack produced therefrom and to a container for receiving the packaging material.

A packaging system for packaging components includes a plurality of frames arranged on top of one another. A laminar structure is fixed to each of the frames. At least one component is arranged and held between two laminar structures—one laminar structure is fixed to one frame—supported by two frames, which forms a holding component of the packaging system.
