Handling device for a flat piece

A system for treating flat pieces, the system comprising:

• a handling device configured for holding at least a first and a second flat piece at a first and second position relative to the handling device;
• a first treatment device configured for treating a corresponding flat piece at a first treatment position;
• and
• a second treatment device configured for treating a corresponding flat piece at a second treatment position;
• wherein the handling device is at least partially rotatable around a longitudinal axis to at least a first and a second angular position;
• wherein the first flat piece is at the first treatment position when the handling device is at the first angular position, and the second flat piece is at the first treatment position when the handling device is at the second angular position;
• and
• wherein the first treatment device is one of a printer device or a flipping device, and the second treatment device is the other of the printer device or the flipping device.

A method for treating a flat piece, the method comprising:

• holding a first flat piece at a first lateral face of the handling device;
• and
• generating a control signal to control a rotation of the handling device around a longitudinal axis of the handling device to a first or second angular position;
• rotating the handling device to the first angular position and treating a first surface of the first flat piece using a first treatment device;
• and
• subsequently rotating the handling device to the second angular position and flipping the first flat piece using a second treatment device.
