The method involves that packets (2) on their opposing outer sides extending in the conveying direction are given an application of glue immediately before, or at a packaging blank wrapping station (4), after which a blank (5), from such blanks stored in a magazine (20), is draped over a set (3) of packets (2) in a waiting position, flaps (9, 10) pertaining to the blank then being folded inwards into engagement with the glued sides (7, 8) of the set of packets with the aid of guides (25, 26), the set of packets kept together by the blank being taken next to a pressure station (11), where the side walls of the blank are further pressed against the set (3) before the finished multiunit package (6) leaves the machine. The apparatus in accordance with the invention includes a conveyor (1) for conveying packets (2), the magazine (20) disposed above the conveyor for storing packaging blanks (5), the blank wrapping station (4) as well as gripping means for plucking blanks from the magazine and delivering them to a waiting position above the packets. |
