The feed unit (11) includes a first motor-driven roller (11A), for moving the web through the folding (13) and sealing (14) stations, by a first succession of forward movements (S1) with a first feed step, and a second motor-driven roller (11B), for moving the web by a second succession of forward movements (S2), with a second feed step. The line includes an adjustment unit (18), positioned between the first (11A) and the second (11B) motor-driven roller. The adjustment unit includes a tensioning element (181), operatively in contact with the web and movable between a first operating position (P1) and a second operating position (P2), and an actuator (182), connected to the tensioning element (181) for varying a position of the tensioning element (181), so as to vary the length of the feed path (P).
