1. A packaging device comprising:
a feeding device designed and intended to provide, in a provisioning section of the packaging device, a plurality of folding boxes each formed from a folding box blank in a configuration in which a folding box shell of the particular folding box is arranged with a main cover flap that does not cover a shell opening of the folding box shell and cover side flaps that project laterally from this main cover flap,
a conveying device designed and intended to convey the plurality of folding boxes from the provisioning section to a filling section,
wherein the conveying device comprises a first partial conveying device designed and intended to convey the plurality of folding boxes along a first conveying direction from the provisioning section to a filling preparation section,
as well as a second partial conveying device designed and intended to transfer the folding box group along a second conveying direction from the filling preparation section to the filling section,
wherein
along the conveying path of the folding boxes from the provisioning section to the filling preparation section, an offset device is provided, the offset device is designed and intended to offset at least one of the plurality of folding boxes in a direction extending orthogonally to the first conveying direction by a predetermined offset distance, and further comprising
conveyance-limiting means designed and intended to limit the movement of the folding boxes under the action of the first partial conveying device along the first conveying direction, and
further conveyance-limiting means designed and intended to cancel the offset distance of the folding boxes as soon as the folding boxes reach a filling position in the filling section.
