Packaging system and method for feeding flat packaging materials to a packaging system

A method for feeding flat packaging materials (20) to a packaging system (1), comprising:

• arranging packaging materials (20) of a packaging material stack (22) in a first upright orientation (22sv1) and offsetting the packaging materials (20) from one another through the use of a displacement unit (8),
• whereupon rotating the offset packaging material stack (22) 90 degrees around a surface normal (N) of the packaging materials (20) into a second upright orientation (22sv2) and arranging the rotated packaging materials (20) on a second transport device (4),
• feeding articles to a packaging module (2) via a first transport device (3) in a first transport direction (TR1),
• feeding the offset and rotated packaging materials (20) to the packaging module (2) via the second transport device (4) in a second transport direction (TR2),
• unfolding the packaging materials (20) within the packaging module (2), and
• arranging at least one article in the unfolded packaging material (20) to form a packaging unit.
