The invention relates to a method and a device for producing individual strip-shaped objects (strips S), in particular objects suitable for chewing, in particular sticks of chewing gum, having the following method steps and features: supplying substantially rectangular sheets (P) from which the strips (S) are to be formed, wherein the length of the shorter sides of the sheets (P) substantially correspond to the length of a strip (S) to be formed, multiple ridges (R) which run parallel to one another are arranged in the sheets (P) at equal distances apart from one another in a substantially parallel manner to the shorter sides of the sheets (P), and the distance between each two adjacently arranged ridges (R) substantially corresponds to the width of a strip (S) to be formed； and forming individual strips (S) from the sheets (P) supplied individually in a successive manner in the longitudinal direction of the sheets. In particular, the step of forming the individual strips (S) has the following method steps and features: separating each individual strip (S) from the sheet (P) along the respective front ridge (R) at the front end of the sheet in the conveying direction； forming a specified distance between the successive individual separated strips (S) in the conveying direction in order to subsequently further convey the formed strips (S)； detecting an actual position of each individual separated strip (S) in the conveying direction while the strips (S) are being separated from the sheet (P)； and correcting the position of the individual separate strips (S) in the conveying direction if the detected actual position of the strip (S) does not correspond to a position matching the specified distance between the successive individual strips (S) for subsequently further conveying the formed strips (S).
