sheets and for loading them by daylight in a lighttight cabinet arranged for opening
said wrapped stack to set the light-sensitive sheets free for further treatment, which
comprises the steps of :

congruent lighttight wrapping foils (51,52) and providing said wrapper with a first
peripheral lighttight closure (53) spaced from the four edges of said stack of sheets,
- providing said wrapper with a clamping, second peripheral lighttight closure (54)
located between said first one and the perimeter of said sheet stack,
- opening said first closure in daylight and loading said wrapped stack of sheets while
still closed by said second closure in said opened cabinet, and
- lighttightly closing said cabinet, unclamping said second closure and removing the
wrapping foil lying on top of said stack of sheets to set them free for further processing.
