<p>A method and an apparatus are disclosed for wrapping a two-piece foil blank about a group of articles, such as cigarettes, as the group is moved along a given path. The two-pieces, a main blank and a flap blank, are both cut from a single web of wrapping material and transported along different paths to the group of articles. The flap blank is placed on the group of articles as it moves along its path, and as the group contacts the main blank which is placed across its path of travel, it causes the main blank to be wrapped around the group of articles such that it overlaps a portion of the flap blank.</p> |
