A method for producing packagings (12a; 12b), in particular cartons, in which in at least one method step packaging parts (32a; 32b), in particular carton parts, are conveyed by a transport device (14a; 14b) having a planar drive. The packaging parts (32a; 32b) are in each case moved via at least one platform (30a; 30b) of the transport device (14a; 14b) which is movable by the planar drive, and are processed during a movement that is induced by the platform (30a; 30b). At least one processing step for producing a packaging (12a; 12b) from a packaging part (32a; 32b) is realized at least partly by a force generated by the at least one movable platform (30a; 30b).
