The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a laminated foil stack consisting of at least a first foil and a second foil. The invention also relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a laminated foil stack consisting of at least a first foil and a second foil. In order to improve the laminating conditions and thus the quality of the resulting laminated end product a method for manufacturing a laminated foil stack consisting of at least a first foil and a second foil is proposed, comprising at least the steps of: i) supplying said at least first foil to a first initial work position in a process chamber; ii) supplying said at least second foil to a second initial work position in said process chamber; iii) conditioning the environment inside said process chamber; iv) subjecting at least said first foil to a pre-conditioning process step; v) laminating said conditioned first foil and said second foil thereby obtaining said laminated foil stack in a final work position.
