Method for producing box lids and/or box bases from paper or cardboard, comprising a lid blank or base blank and a side wall fastened thereto, comprising the steps of: - providing a strip having a beginning, an end and connection tabs on a longitudinal side as the side wall, - bending the connection tabs by as much as 90 degrees, - placing the strip on the outer surface of a cylindrical female mould, the cross section of which corresponds to the cross section of the box, using a male mould, which is a lifting ram having a front, the cross section of which is adapted to existing concave portions of the female mould, - connecting the beginning and end of the strip, - placing the lid blank or base blank on the connection tabs, - connecting the connection tabs to the lid blank or base blank, characterised by the features whereby: - adhesive is applied as a continuous track on an inner surface, an inner surface blank being temporarily fixed to the base of the female mould by means of a vacuum, or adhesive is applied in a precisely metered and punctiform manner on the front side and/or rear side of the connection tabs, - the beginning of the strip is temporarily fixed to a portion of the female mould, - the female mould is rotated, the strip on the outer surface of the female mould being drawn in and held by the vacuum, - after the connection tabs are connected to the lid blank or base blank, the vacuum is broken and the finished box part is removed from the female mould. - providing a strip having a beginning, an end and connection tabs on a longitudinal side as the side wall, - bending the connection tabs by as much as 90 degrees, - placing the strip on the outer surface of a cylindrical female mould, the cross section of which corresponds to the cross section of the box, using a male mould, which is a lifting ram having a front, the cross section of which is adapted to existing concave portions of the female mould, - connecting the beginning and end of the strip, - placing the lid blank or base blank on the connection tabs, - connecting the connection tabs to the lid blank or base blank, characterised by the features whereby: - adhesive is applied as a continuous track on an inner surface, an inner surface blank being temporarily fixed to the base of the female mould by means of a vacuum, or adhesive is applied in a precisely metered and punctiform manner on the front side and/or rear side of the connection tabs, - the beginning of the strip is temporarily fixed to a portion of the female mould, - the female mould is rotated, the strip on the outer surface of the female mould being drawn in and held by the vacuum, - after the connection tabs are connected to the lid blank or base blank, the vacuum is broken and the finished box part is removed from the female mould. - adhesive is applied as a continuous track on an inner surface, an inner surface blank being temporarily fixed to the base of the female mould by means of a vacuum, or adhesive is applied in a precisely metered and punctiform manner on the front side and/or rear side of the connection tabs, - the beginning of the strip is temporarily fixed to a portion of the female mould, - the female mould is rotated, the strip on the outer surface of the female mould being drawn in and held by the vacuum, - after the connection tabs are connected to the lid blank or base blank, the vacuum is broken and the finished box part is removed from the female mould.
