The endless band is provided with print marks (D) at equal distances, this distance (r) corresponding to the circumference of the largest pack goods item (P) to be banded, plus an overlap. A strip-shaped glue coat (L) for closing the band loops (5a) is applied transversely to the longitudinal direction of the band at a constant predetermined distance (s) in front of each print mark (D). During banding, after the looping of the pack goods (P) the band movement is stopped when a print mark (D) is read by a print mark reader. At standstill, a glue coat (L) is located directly at the closing mechanism. While the free band end is retained, the endless band is retracted until the band loop (5a) surrounds the pack goods (P) with a specific tension. The closing of the band loop and the severance of the latter then take place. When the circumference of a pack goods item is smaller than that of the largest pack goods item, the excess length (2x) remaining in front of the following glue coat (L) after the band loop has been severed is also banded in as an inner overlap (2x) during the banding of the following pack goods item. |
