Abstract (en)

A method for closing packages in a case packer comprises arranging a first packaging portion (100) containing pillow bags (200) so as to define two opposite first side walls (102) and two side openings between the first side walls (102), feeding the first packaging portion (100) to a closing station (1), positioning a second packaging portion (103) onto the first packaging portion (100) and folding two second side walls (104) to close said opposite side openings, at least during the positioning of the second packaging portion (103) onto the first portion, directing a compressed air flow towards the two opposite side openings so as to hold the pillow bags (200) within the first packaging portion (100).
