A method for producing a printed product (2) with more than four pages comprises the following method steps: - Printing of at least two partial web strands (4a, 4b, 4c) of a printing material web in a web-fed rotary printing press in successive web sections of a predetermined length, each with a leading edge ( 6.1) and a trailing edge (6.2), between which an imaginary fold line (24) extends transversely to the web running direction, -application of glue in at least one adhesive section (18) which is in the area of the leading and / or trailing edge (6.1 , 6.2) is arranged on one of the mutually facing sides of the at least two partial web strands (4a, 4b, 4c), -overlapping and gluing the two partial web strands (4a, 4b, 4c) in the area of the leading and / or trailing edges (6.1, 6.2 ), - feeding the glued partial web sections (4a, 4b, 4c) to one company lzapparat (8) and cutting the partial web strands (4a, 4b, 4c) along the leading and trailing edges (6.1, 6.2) into signatures (2a) and folding the signatures (2a) along the imaginary folding line (24), - laying out the signatures (2a) and arranging them one above the other in a product memory (34), - introducing the stored signatures (2a) into a feeder (42) of a collating device (40) in such a way that the leading edges (6.1) or trailing edges (6.2) glued together viewed in the transport direction (44) of the feeder (42) are positioned in advance, -recognize the front sides of the signatures (2a) leading in the transport direction of the feeder (42) and opening the signatures (2a) by means of a detection - And opening device (48) and feeding the opened signatures (2a) to a conveying element (46) of the collating device (40).
