Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9014993A1] The invention relates to a method and apparatus for fabrication of 3-dimensional blanks (136) for encasing articles, particular chocolate novelties. The apparatus uses a first pressing station (5) for subdividing a sheet (42) into multiple moulds (62) and a second station (54) for forming final moulds coinciding with the multiple moulds (62). The stations (50, 54) have clamping members (84, 84B) for ensuring accurate registration of the moulds.
