The invention relates to a device and to a method for the transfer of flexible flat objects, in particular printed products, between two conveyors (10, 20). The device comprises a first gripper conveyor (10) with first grippers (12) moved along a first gripper conveyor path (U1) for the essentially hanging transport of the objects (2, 2') in a conveyor direction (F) by way of gripping a first object edge (3, 3'), a second gripper conveyor (20) with second grippers (22) moved along a second gripper conveyor path (U2), for receiving the objects (2, 2') by way of gripping a second object edge (4, 4') which lies opposite the first object edge (3, 3'), and at least one actuation device (40, 50) for opening and closing the first and second grippers (12, 22) in a manner such that in a transfer region (T), a transfer of the objects (2, 2) from the first grippers (12) to the second grippers (22) may take place. The distances of the first and the second grippers (12, 22) are different to one another in front of the transfer region (T), wherein the distances of the first grippers (12) are smaller than that of the second grippers (22). The second grippers catch up with the first grippers and thus simplify the controlled transfer of the objects (2) from a first gripper (12) to an assigned second gripper (22) by way of the distances of the first grippers (12) being reduced in the transfer region thus the grippers being delayed and/or the distances of the second grippers (22) in the transfer region (T) being increased, thus the grippers (12) being accelerated.
