A method to produce a packaging unit , which has at least one item and at least one outer packaging to hold the at least one item , the method comprising the following steps: - receiving at least one item provided for an outer packaging , - detecting and/or determining a rotational orientation of the at least one received item provided for an outer packaging , and, if required, coordinately adapting the rotational orientation of the at least one received item to a target rotational orientation to be configured in the packaging unit , - transferring the at least one received item into its outer packaging such that the rotational orientation of the at least one received item after the transfer into its outer packaging corresponds to the specified target rotational orientation, wherein it is provided that - the at least one already received item , in order to adapt the rotational orientation, if required, to the target rotational orientation to be configured in the packaging unit , is temporarily deposited, subsequently hereafter retrieved, and, after having been retrieved, is transferred into its outer packaging , wherein a set-down table is provided, which comprises a plurality of turntables , on which plurality of turntables items provided to be transferred into the outer packagings are temporarily deposited via at least one manipulator , and which plurality of turntables rotate in order to adapt the rotational orientation, if required, of the items provided to be transferred into the outer packagings and deposited on the plurality of turntables by the at least one manipulator . - receiving at least one item provided for an outer packaging , - detecting and/or determining a rotational orientation of the at least one received item provided for an outer packaging , and, if required, coordinately adapting the rotational orientation of the at least one received item to a target rotational orientation to be configured in the packaging unit , - transferring the at least one received item into its outer packaging such that the rotational orientation of the at least one received item after the transfer into its outer packaging corresponds to the specified target rotational orientation, wherein it is provided that - the at least one already received item , in order to adapt the rotational orientation, if required, to the target rotational orientation to be configured in the packaging unit , is temporarily deposited, subsequently hereafter retrieved, and, after having been retrieved, is transferred into its outer packaging , wherein a set-down table is provided, which comprises a plurality of turntables , on which plurality of turntables items provided to be transferred into the outer packagings are temporarily deposited via at least one manipulator , and which plurality of turntables rotate in order to adapt the rotational orientation, if required, of the items provided to be transferred into the outer packagings and deposited on the plurality of turntables by the at least one manipulator . in order to adapt the rotational orientation, if required, to the target rotational orientation to be configured in the packaging unit , is temporarily deposited, subsequently hereafter retrieved, and, after having been retrieved, is transferred into its outer packaging , wherein a set-down table is provided, which comprises a plurality of turntables , on which plurality of turntables items provided to be transferred into the outer packagings are temporarily deposited via at least one manipulator , and which plurality of turntables rotate in order to adapt the rotational orientation, if required, of the items provided to be transferred into the outer packagings and deposited on the plurality of turntables by the at least one manipulator . <EOS>
