Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1426294A1] The procedure for the packing of flat objects (4) involves forming an endless sheet-form packing material (7) into a string of pockets (7') closed on three sides and open on one side. The open pocket side and seam to close it after loading occupy a position independent of format of the objects to be packed in all stages of the procedure. With the forming of the string of pockets the pocket depth, and/or with the sealing of the pockets the distance between two side seams, conforms to the format of the objects to be packed or to the width of the packing material. An Independent claim is included for a device of the packing of flat objects by means of the proposed procedure.
