Claim 16:
17. An apparatus for the manual or machine production of a tube-like packaging material from a paper supply unit, from which a paper strip can be drawn for forming the packaging material, the apparatus comprising:
a guide with an opening configured to eject the packaging material from the paper supply unit arranged in an ejection position, the guide having a receiving arrangement configured to encompass the paper supply unit at least partly circumferentially; and
a movable transport configured to displace the paper supply unit in an ejection direction, the movable transport including a carrier that is configured to be selectively engageable with the paper supply unit, the carrier being movable between: (a) an engaged position in which the carrier extends from the transport and is configured to engage the paper supply unit and cause the paper supply unit to move in response to movement of the transport; and (b) a disengaged position in which the carrier retracts from the engaged position so as to disengage from the paper supply unit and allow the transport to move while allowing the paper supply unit to remain stationary.
