Stacks (2) of flat articles supplied in a serial stack stream are wrapped with a foil (3) in a first packing step in such a way that said foil (3) covers the top, bottom and two vertical sides of each stack and projects over both sides of the covered stack sides. Then packing of the foil-wrapped stacks (2.3, 2.4) is finish in a second packing step in a strapping/welding position and depending on the stack height (d.1, d.2). Stacks (2.3) having a height (d.1) greater than a predetermined limit stack height are strapped and on stacks (2.4), whose height (d.2) is equal to or smaller than the limit stack height, the foil areas (3.1) projecting over the top and bottom of the stack are welded together, strapping being suppressed or performed simultaneously with the welding operation.
