Method for packing and unpacking flat substrates

A package of flat glass substrates, comprising:

• a packaging box having a base part and a cover part, wherein the base part comprises a lower wall and a plurality of lateral walls, and wherein the cover part comprises an upper wall and a corresponding plurality of lateral walls;
• a stack of flat glass substrates with interlayers therebetween, wherein the stack is directly or indirectly on the lower wall;
• and
• a lateral space between the stack and the plurality of lateral walls of the base part, wherein the interlayers protrude beyond the flat substrates and into the lateral space, wherein the interlayers have an interlayer thickness that is larger than a thickness of the flat glass substrates.

• a lateral space between the stack and the plurality of lateral walls of the base part,
• an underlayer between the lower wall and the stack, wherein the interlayer and the underlayer protrude laterally beyond the stack and into the lateral space, wherein the underlayer has an automation camera-detectable color that differs from a color of the packaging box and/or a color of the interlayer.
