Abstract (en)
Folding device and method in which a tax tag (32), which has been partially glued to a first wall (33') of a package (33) of smoking articles, comprises two flaps to be folded that protrude beyond the first wall on opposite sides of the first wall; a unit (5), which is movable along a closed loop path (4), comprises a support (8), an arm (10) articulated to the support and a die (34) that is articulated to the arm and comprises a contact surface (35) that is counter-shaped with respect to the portion of package to which the entire tag has to be applied; the unit and the package are conveyed parallel side by side along a straight advancement portion at the same advancement speed, whilst the die is moved so that a central portion (35') of the contact surface comes into contact against the first wall of the package and simultaneously two side portions (35a; 35b) of the contact surface fold the two flaps of the tag, bringing the tags into contact against another two walls (33a; 33b) of the package.
