Abstract (en)

An improved method for constructing a pack of smoking articles is provided in which the pack blank has applied two portions of it a pressure sensitive adhesive in a fluid state. The pressure sensitive adhesive is dried, and subsequently the pack is folded together to bring areas covered with the adhesive into contact with each other. The invention further provides an apparatus 10 for putting the method into effect, in which ones of a stack 14 of blanks are supplied from a hopper 12 along a bed 22 to an adhesive application station 16, where adhesive is applied to portions of the lower surface of the blanks, and then along the bed to a turnover station 18, where they are turned over so that the adhesive coated side is uppermost. From there, the blanks move to a drying bed 20. They may then be constructed to form a pack. <IMAGE>
