Abstract: The invention relates to a process for transferring supports as well as to supports for use in this process.The process is characterized by the fact that a support is mechanically driven by means of a driven device and that said mechanically driven support drives at least the next support by means of at least a fold formed on at least a part of the rear border width of said support and coming during its travel motion into coupling with at least another fold, which is formed in the opposite direction to said rear border fold of the previous support, and on at least a part of the fore border width of said next support.
