Abstract (en)

A method for cartoning horizontally-arranged bottles 2, characterized in that it comprises the steps of depositing a first layer of horizontally-arranged bottles (2) inside a box-like container (3) stationary in a loading station (5); positioning, inside the box-like container (3), a dividing element with collapsible alveolar structure (13) in a deployed configuration above said first layer of bottles (2), by inserting the transversal partitioning walls (13b) of the dividing element with collapsible alveolar structure (13) between the horizontally-arranged bottles (2) forming the first layer of bottles (2), and placing the longitudinal partitioning wall (13a) of the dividing element with collapsible alveolar structure (13) resting on the lateral side of all the bottles (2) forming the first layer of horizontally-arranged bottles (2); and depositing, inside the same box-like container (3), a second layer of horizontally-arranged bottles (2) above the dividing element with collapsible alveolar structure (13), by inserting each horizontally-arranged bottle (2) of the second layer of bottles (2) within a respective cell of the dividing element with collapsible alveolar structure (13).
