Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0742161A1] An article, such as a curtain track, is packaged by forming a tube (1) of sheet material, e.g. pvc, inserting the article in the tube and closing at least one end of the tube by flattening the respective end portion (10), folding that portion over upon itself and then attaching a closure clip (2) to the folded part (11) to hold the tube end closed. The closure clip has a pocket (17) in which the folded part is received and retained. Both ends of the tube may be closed in the same way. Pleats (9) formed in the wall of the tube enable the or each flattened end portion (10) to be contained within the general width of the tube. A tear strip (7) along the tube enables it to be opened for removal of the article. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
