A stacking station for a thermoforming apparatus configured to generate a rotational angle offset about a stacking direction between a first product and a second product to be stacked in the stacking direction over the first product, wherein the rotational angle offset about a stacking direction between each said product is achieved through a rotatable portion of the stacking station , wherein an intermediate stack receptacle is provided, which comprises a rotatable portion in the shape of a turntable , on which the products are to be stacked in the interim, such that in a first position a first rotational angle, which can correspond to a non-rotated position, is achieved for all products to be stacked simultaneously and that in a second position of the rotatable portion of the intermediate stack receptacle a rotational angle offset for the next product to be stacked or a further product is achieved, wherein a drive mechanism is provided, which can rotate the turntable controllably around a rotational axis perpendicular to the turntable, and wherein the turntable comprises a multitude of stacking locations and wherein ejection arms for ejecting the products from an index into the direction of the intermediate stack receptacle are provided, wherein a control unit is provided, which is suitably adapted to execute a rotation of the turntable utilizing the drive mechanism at any point in time after the previously ejected products have been deposited and after the ejection arms are removed from the area of the stacking locations, such that, except for a first and last ejection process, one rotation of the turntable is executed, such that in the rotated position of the turntable an identical arrangement of stacking positions as a whole is achieved as well. generate a rotational angle offset about a stacking direction between a first product and a second product to be stacked in the stacking direction over the first product, wherein the rotational angle offset about a stacking direction between each said product is achieved through a rotatable portion of the stacking station , wherein an intermediate stack receptacle is provided, which comprises a rotatable portion in the shape of a turntable , on which the products are to be stacked in the interim, such that in a first position a first rotational angle, which can correspond to a non-rotated position, is achieved for all products to be stacked simultaneously and that in a second position of the rotatable portion of the intermediate stack receptacle a rotational angle offset for the next product to be stacked or a further product is achieved, wherein a drive mechanism is provided, which can rotate the turntable controllably around a rotational axis perpendicular to the turntable, and wherein the turntable comprises a multitude of stacking locations and wherein ejection arms for ejecting the products from an index into the direction of the intermediate stack receptacle are provided, wherein a control unit is provided, which is suitably adapted to execute a rotation of the turntable utilizing the drive mechanism at any point in time after the previously ejected products have been deposited and after the ejection arms are removed from the area of the stacking locations, such that, except for a first and last ejection process, one rotation of the turntable is executed, such that in the rotated position of the turntable an identical arrangement of stacking positions as a whole is achieved as well. <EOS>
