The invention relates to a method and to a device for producing packages (3), which have at least two containers (1) in at least two rows or container sub-groups (3.2), wherein the containers (1) are fed by means of a conveyor (6) to a container inlet (5.1) of a device (5) in at least one two-track container flow (6.1, 6.2), wherein the containers (1) have adhesive applications (4.1, 4.2) of an adhesive in at least one treatment segment (7.1, 7.2) of the device. In each treatment segment, the container sub-groups (3.2) are first formed from the containers thus treated, by means of first adhesive applications (4.1) between the containers. By bringing the container sub-groups (3.2) together, the container sub-groups are connected to each other by means of second adhesive applications (4.2).
