The invention relates in the first instance to a method for rotating an article which has an underside and lateral surfaces, more particularly for rotating a folding carton having the shape of a cuboid. The article is conveyed along a first lane (1), then rotated in order to re-align the article, and then conveyed along a second lane (2) which extends in the direction of the first lane. The rotation of the article takes place under the action of an element (30) which is in contact with a lateral surface of the article. To enable the rotation of the article to take place in a very tight space at a high conveying speed, it is proposed that the contact element (30) moves in the direction of the lanes (1, 2), being moved against the rear lateral surface of the article, based on the direction in which the article is being conveyed, and being in rolling contact therewith (roller 39). In the case of the apparatus for implementing the method it is regarded as essential for the contact element to be mounted in a revolving conveyor device (23, 24) which has a conveying line (26) extending parallel to the conveying direction of the first lane, the contact element incorporating a freely rotatable roller (39).
