Then, a front portion of the packing film of the open forward projecting packing tube portion (3) is pressed together and joined by clamping jaws (10, 10') to form a first film sheet portion (6, 8), and the joined first film sheet portion (6, 8) is folded onto the packing tube (1) around the forward end of the packaged product and is joined therewith.</p> |
