METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING AN EDGE

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a device for producing a foil material half-shell edge which protrudes from a surface of the packaging of a packaged food product, said half-shells receiving the food product. The half-shells have flanges, at least some regions of which lie one on top of the other and which form the protruding edge. The aim of the invention is to improve a quick and reliable method which can be carried out with little effort for improving the appearance of food products packaged in foil half-shells. This is achieved in that during a relative movement between a packaged food product and a die, an edge region of the die presses against the protruding edge of the films, whereby the edge of the foils is at least partly produced on one of the half-shells. The invention further relates to a device which corresponds to the method.
