1. A container processing system for processing containers, comprising:
a plurality of processing units for processing the containers; and
a planar drive system having a base element and a plurality of movement devices for transporting the containers, wherein the base element connects the plurality of processing units to one another and the plurality of movement devices can be moved independently of one another relative to the base element;
wherein the planar drive system is configured to move each of the plurality of movement devices individually to at least one of the plurality of processing units according to in each case an individually selected one of a plurality of processing profiles for different container processing, wherein each of the plurality of processing profiles is configured to direct the planar drive system to move a selected one or more of the plurality of movement devices for which a respective processing profile has been individually selected to a unique selection of the plurality of processing units.
