Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0183302A2] The invention relates to a method for wrapping a stretch film around a bunch of containers comprising at least three round containers that are positioned and retained by a retainer device while the stretch film is wrapped around the bunch. The inventive method is characterized in that a) the stretch film (3) is coiled up, preferably to a multi-layer tubular section, outside the retainer device of a coiling drum that is separate from the bunch of containers, b) radially widening said tubular section, and c) pushing the film in the widened state across the bunch of containers from the side opposite the retainer device, before d) releasing the tubular section so that it can cling to the container (9) under prestress in such a manner that due to the elastic restoring forces of the stretch film (3) the film and the bunch of containers wrapped into said film give a solid connection.
