Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for redirecting cut web products (20) and/or rejecting cut web products. The method comprises advancing a plurality of cut web products along a first path (12) and providing a redirecting or folding device (18) for folding the plurality of cut web products (22) and/or delivering the folded cut web products to a second path(10, 82, 84, 86). Prior to reaching the folding device(18), the cut web products may be determined to be defective. The folding device can be accelerated, decelerated, or substantially stopped, such that a selected cut web product is not delivered to the second path, thereby rejecting the selected cut web product.
