Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for affixing a supplementary product (22) to a printed product (36). According to the invention, in order to pick up the supplementary product (22), holding elements (12) driven along a circulation path (26) have at least one suction element (24, 25). In order to bend the initially flat supplementary product (22) in such a way that it can be placed around an edge (36c) of the printed product (36), there is at least one bending element (18). This is capable of acting on the supplementary product (22) held on one side by the suction element (24, 25) in such a way that the said supplementary product (22) is bent at least approximately in a V shape. Holding element (12) and bending element (18) interact with a supporting element (44) in such a way that the supplementary product (22), reaching over an edge (36c) of the printed product (36), is pressed onto two opposite sides (36a, 36b) of the printed product (36).
