Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2277780A1] The method involves attaching a packaging material to articles (12) to form individual packaging units. The individual packaging units are connected together with an additional packaging material to form a bigger unit during a continuous conveying movement with or without a transposition of the packaging units. The continuous conveying movement is generated by a transport belt (18). Each of the articles, the packaging units and the bigger unit are moved continuously. The packaging units are transposed at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the conveying movement. An independent claim is also included for a packaging machine for grouping and connecting two articles.
