An apparatus is proposed for strapping a packaged item by means of at least two strapping elements (11, 12) which can be placed crosswise on the packaged item, with a transport unit for moving the packaged item into a strapping position, in each case with a guide device for the at least two strapping elements (11, 12), for arranging the strapping elements (11, 12) around the packaged item, the guide devices in each case defining intersecting areas of movement for the strapping elements (11, 12), and, for the strapping elements (11, 12), a binding device for inserting and/or tensioning the- strapping elements (11, 12) and for connecting overlapping areas of the strapping elements (11, 12). In order to provide, for a packaged item, a cross-strapping apparatus which permits use in what is by comparison a greater number of applications, connection means (14) are provided in order to connect the strapping elements (11, 12) in the immediate environment of a crossover location (16) of the strapping elements (11, 12) and/or at the crossover location (16). It is also possible to effect the connection using a single sealing stamp (14). |
