Abstract: Press table insert for a coating press for multi-side film coating of form boards with a press table (1) which can be moved into the coating press, and which is equipped with numerous individual carriers (5) for taking up the workpieces (13) which are to be coated, whereby the individual carriers (5) can be moved horizontally on the press table (1) within their ranges of movement (10) for taking up the workpieces (13), whereby the height of each individual carrier (5) is shortened during the pressing process. A process for multi-side film coating of form boards is envisaged too. Thereby the film which is to be processed is first of all heated and then coated onto the boards by applying vacuum and pressure.
