Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007132330A1] In a method for wrapping products such as items of confectionery, each product (1) is first enveloped in part by a respective leaf (2) of wrapping material so as to create an intermediate wrap presenting a first flap (3) and a second flap (4), projecting from the product (1) on either side of one face (5) that remains exposed initially. The first flap (3) is then bent in a direction (Fl) causing it to rotate inwards and cover the exposed face (5) of the product (1), while also closing on the second flap (4) in such a way that an area (7) of mutual contact is established between the two flaps (3, 4), whereupon the first and second flaps (3, 4) are bent further in the same direction (F1) and flattened against an adjoining flank face (5a) of the product (1), so as to form a semi-finished tubular wrapper (8). Finally, the two ends (9) of the tubular wrapper (8) are sealed, preferably by fashioning twist closures (10).
