Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1486420A1] The method involves raising vertically an open edge of an envelope (11) to pass an upper surface of a load (CH) by a cross flow air directed towards internal surface of the open edge. A film on an outer lateral surface of the envelope is heated by a hot air to assure thermo-retraction of the film on the load. The cross flow air is hot for assuring a preheating of an internal wall of an upper edge (14) of the envelope. An independent claim is also included for a load package device.
