Abstract (en)
A method of an apparatus for the production of packages (P) each comprises a unit of product (1) having opposite ends and a wrapper (13) wrapped around the unit (1), the wrapper (13) being wider than the length of the unit from end-to-end and initially extending outwardly beyond the ends of the unit, each end of the wrapper (13) being folded over on said end of the product (1) to form four closure flaps (F1-F4) overlying said end, a first flap (F1) constituting a first side flap, a second flap (F2) constituting a first end flap, a third flap (F3) constituting a second end flap, and a fourth flap (F4) constituting a second side flap, the method of folding over the second end flap (F3), wherein packages (p) are fed forward one after another with the ends of the wrapper (13) extending laterally outwardly at opposite sides of their path of travel, and the second end flaps (F3) are folded over at both ends of the package (P) by flexible folding members (53) which are brought into engagement with the trailing side of the trailing portion of each extending end of the wrapper (13) and moved forward at higher speed than the speed of the package (P). <IMAGE>
