Process and apparatus for the production of multipage information leaflets and the information leaflet obtained in this way

An apparatus for the production of leaflets or slips, comprising in sequence the following working stations:

• a loading and feeding station comprising a sheet feeder device configured to take a single sheet from a block or ream of sheets loaded onto said station and having a pneumatic head for lifting a single sheet at a time and a drum to drive a single sheet in a direction of a next working station;
• a gluing station comprising a gluing head configured to apply glue along an edge of a side of a single sheet so as to define a glue band;
• a folding and cutting station configured to multiple fold a single sheet along lines of folding which are parallel one to the other and transversal to a portion provided with glue, to create a folded sheet, said folding and cutting station being further configured to cut a folded sheet along opposite transversal edge portions to create a multipage leaflet with pages connected one to the other only at a joining area defined by an area provided with glue near an edge;
• a transfer station;
• a pressing station configured to press a joining area of a folded sheet;
• and
• a finished products accumulation station configured to collect and store finished leaflets.
