A method of packing a batch of image-receiving material, more particularly paper or transparent plastic, in a container suitable for storing and transporting the batch, a number of stacked, substantially identical sheets of the image-receiving material, each sheet having a number of edges with the corresponding edges of the different sheets substantially coinciding with one another, wherein the batch is bent over a first bend and over a substantially identical second bend opposed to the first bend in such a manner that the batch assumes a substantially S-shaped configuration, and placing the batch in a container which encloses the bent batch so that the S-shaped configuration remains substantially in position for as long as the batch is in the container.

1. A method of packing a batch of image-receiving material for use in a printer, copier or other image forming apparatus into a container suitable for storing and transporting the material, the batch having edges coinciding at corners of the batch, wherein the batch includes a plurality of stacked,
1. A method of packing a batch of image-receiving material for use in a printer, copier or other image forming apparatus into a container suitable for storing and transporting the material, the batch having edges coinciding at corners of the batch, wherein the batch includes a plurality of stacked, substantially identical sheets of the image-receiving material, each sheet having a number of edges, with the corresponding edges of the different sheets substantially coinciding with one another, which comprises:opening the container, bending the batch over a first bend and bending the batch over a substantially identical second bend opposed to the first bend in such a manner that the batch assumes a substantially S-shaped configuration, and all corners of the batch have right angles independent of the number of sheets in the batch, placing the batch in the container before or after bending, and closing the container, whereby the container then encloses the bent batch such that the S-shaped configuration remains substantially in position for as long as the batch remains in the container. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the batch is bent in each case over an angle of approximately 180°.3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the batch is bent so that the S-configuration is substantially symmetrical.4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the batch is divided into three parts in the longitudinal direction of the S-configuration by the two bends, wherein each of the parts is substantially of the same length.5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the batch is provided with a sheeting before being bent.6. The method according to claim 1, wherein a core is provided inside each of the bends, said core having a substantially circular peripheral edge, wherein the core has a length substantially equal to the length of the batch perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the S-configuration.7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the batch is bent over the cores.8. A batch of image-receiving material for use in a printer, copier or other image forming apparatus which comprises a plurality of stacked, substantially identical sheets of image-receiving material, each sheet having a number of edges with the corresponding edges of the different sheets substantially coinciding with one another such that the edges of the batch correspond at the corners of the batch, said batch being bent to define two substantially identical bends opposed to one another and having a substantially S-shaped configuration, and all corners of the batch have right angles independent of the number of sheets in the batch, said batch being enclosed by a container suitable for storing and transporting said batch, said container supporting the S-shaped configuration.9. The batch according to claim 8, wherein the sheets are stacked in a stacking direction which jointly defines a stack height, wherein the sheets have a length and width, each being at least ten times as large as the stack height.10. The method of claim 1, wherein the image-receiving material is paper or transparent plastic.11. The batch of claim 8, wherein the image-receiving material is paper or transparent plastic.12. The batch of claim 8, wherein the batch is provided with a sheeting.13. The batch of claim 8, wherein a core is provided inside each of the bends.14. The batch of claim 13, wherein the cores have substantially circular peripheral edges, wherein the core has a length substantially equal to the length of the batch perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the S-configuration.
