Summary:A splicing method serves for connecting an active film web (2) which is wound up on a first reel (4) to a passive film web (3) which is wound up on a further reel (8). The active film web (2) is unwound from the first reel (4) and is fed to at least one processing station. When a remaining film quantity of the active film web (2) is reached on the first reel (4), the active film web (2) is spliced or connected to the passive film web (3), with the result that the passive film web is pulled by the active film web (2) into the at least one processing station and therefore changes from the passive film web into the active film web. Before the operation of splicing, the outer side (18) of the passive film web (3) is provided with a connecting element (19), and the active film web (2) and the passive film web (3) are moved towards one another before the operation of splicing, wherein the active film web (2) is pressed against the further reel (8) with the passive film web (3) and the passive film web (3) is thus spliced to the active film web (2) via the connecting element (19).
