A method for making a packet for elongate smokers' articles

摘要

Described is a method for making a packet (1) for smokers' articles comprising an inner wrapper (3) consisting of a sheet of wrapping material (26) folded around a group (4) of smokers' articles (5), an outer container (2) which accommodates the inner wrapper (3) and a stabilizing support structure (23) by which the inner wrap (3) is stabilized and supported; the method comprises the steps applying at least one deposit (24) of hot-melt glue on sheet material that will make up the inner wrapper (3) or the stabilizing support structure (23) of the inner wrapper (3), cooling the at least one deposit (24) of hot-melt glue so that it loses its adhesive properties, assembling at least a part of the packet (1) comprising the inner wrapper (3) and the stabilizing support structure (23) so they are placed in mutual contact at the at least one deposit (24) of hot-melt glue, and heating at least that part of the packet (1) in order to reactivate the at least one deposit (24) of hot-melt glue and to glue the inner wrapper (3) and the stabilizing support structure (23) to each other.
