Abstract: Disclosed is a method for conveying, handling, manipulating, stacking, and/or palletizing articles (20), piece goods, and/or bundles, which are fed in conveying direction (38) to a handling station and/or grouping station (52) and are taken up there within a defined manipulating section (50) by means of a handling device and/or manipulating device (34), are rotated and/or shifted and thus respectively brought into an arrangement (46) to each other so as to be stackable or palletizable. The arrangements (46) are subsequently stacked on top of one another and/or palletized for the purpose of forming stacked layers (60) of articles, piece goods, and/or bundles. The articles (20), piece goods, and/or bundles are transferred to the handling station and/or grouping station (52) as pairs or triplets (14), which have been stacked pairwise or triple-wise on top of one another in a stacking station 64 arranged upstream.
