Abstract
A method for transporting spacers for cigarette packs is disclosed, each spacer comprising a substantially rectangular flat body, the spacers being insertable in cartons for cigarette packs to space out packs with dimensions smaller than the standard dimensions, said method comprising the step of arranging the spacers, stacked on one another, on a transport pallet, on each spacer being provided at least two through holes, the through holes of the spacers of a stack being vertically aligned with each other so that a vertical element of the transport pallet is inside the through holes of the spacers of the stack.

A method for transporting spacers for cigarette packs, each spacer having a substantially rectangular flat body, the spacers being insertable in cartons for cigarette packs to space out packs with dimensions smaller than the standard dimensions, said method comprising the steps of:
- using a transport pallet that has a base and multiple pairs of vertical elements that extend vertically from said base, said vertical elements of each pair being aligned in parallel with a side of the base;
- and
- arranging the spacers on the transport pallet in stacks which are arranged alongside one another, each spacer having at least two through holes, the through holes of the spacers of each stack being vertically aligned with each other so that one of the pairs of vertical elements is inside the through holes of the spacers of the stack.
A method for transporting spacers for packs, each spacer having a substantially rectangular flat body, the spacers being insertable in cartons to space out packs within the cartons, said method comprising the steps of:
- using a pallet that has a base and vertical elements extending vertically from said base, said vertical elements comprising a plurality of pairs of pegs, said pegs of each pair being aligned in parallel with a side of the base;
- and
- placing said spacers in multiple stacks on said pallet, said multiple stacks being arranged alongside one another;
- wherein each spacer includes at least two through holes, and wherein the step of placing said spacers in said multiple stacks includes:
- placing a first group of said spacers in a first stack and a second group of said spacers in a second stack;
- and
- inserting a first pair of said plurality of pairs of pegs through the at least two through holes of said spacers of said first group and inserting a second pair of said plurality of pairs of pegs through the at least two through holes of said spacers of said second group.
