Abstract (en)

A method for bundle packaging a number of sheet-like articles (1), comprising the steps of: producing each of the articles with an excess portion (2), with respect to a final use size, defined along a side (2a) of the article; piling the articles so as to form at least one orderly stack (4); folding the stack (4) so as to reduce its size; forming respective pre-cut lines (3) on the articles, one by one before the piling in the stack, or subsequently when the stack has been formed or folded whereby in each article the excess portion (2) is defined between the aforementioned side (2a) and the pre-cut line (3); and making the articles mutually integral in correspondence with the excess portions (2), whereby the articles (1) are singularly adapted to a tear-away extraction along the pre-cut lines (3) leaving the excess portions (2) integral with the stack (4) with the remaining articles. The folding is carried out along folding lines substantially orthogonal to the pre-cut lines (3).
