Summary:For producing stacks (20), flat objects (2) are supplied individually held by holding elements (3) in an edge zone (10). Groups (1) of the objects (2) are supplied one behind the other and arranged in a stack by placing object zones opposite the held edges (10) adjacent to one another. While the objects (2) are held, the groups arranged in a stack are stabilized by positioning the object zones opposite the held edges (10) on a stacking table (23) that is vertically movable inside a stacking shaft (22) and/or on an auxiliary support (31), and are either strapped or pressed together by a pressing device. Prior to being deposited on a stacking table (23), groups (1) formed one behind the other and arranged in a stack may be rotated around the stacking axis (A), so that they are positioned in the stacking shaft (22) as layers of a cross stack.
