Abstract: A method and unit for flexing a flat blank having preformed fold lines; the flat blank is fed by a seat on a conveyor along a path through a flexing station, where a rigid folding body is rolled over the seat to fold the blank against two fixed folding spindles of the seat and about the preformed fold lines; and, on leaving the flexing station, the blank is allowed to spring back to its flat shape.
