Die überstehenden ersten und zweiten äusseren Materialbereiche 12, 13 werden dann zum Mittenbereich 4 hin zu einem Schlauch 3'' aus Verpackungsmaterial umgeklappt. Die umgeklappten ersten und zweiten äusseren Materialbereiche 12, 13 sind so lang, dass sie einander in einem Überlappungsbereich 14 überlappen. In diesem Überlappungsbereich 14 zwischen den nebeneinander angeordneten Druckereiprodukten 1, 2 werden sie miteinander und mit der darunter liegenden Materiallage in einem Arbeitsgang verschweisst. Wie beim Verfahren aus Figur 2 können zwei parallele Schweissnähte 5, 6 aufgebracht werden, wobei dazwischen geschnitten wird, Schnittlinie 7. Diese Variante hat gegenüber der Variante aus Figur 2 den Vorteil, dass neben dem notwendigen Schweissen und Trennen quer zur Förderrichtung nur eine in Förderrichtung arbeitende Verschlussvorrichtung bzw. nur ein Arbeitsgang zum Bilden von zwei Verpackungen notwendig ist.Figure 3a), b) shows schematically two steps one another variant of the method according to the invention. The Printed products 1, 2 are next to each other on the Packaging material web 3 'deposited, approximately in the middle. The first and second outer material areas 12 13 each laterally outwards, what is dashed is shown. The protruding first and second Outer material areas 12, 13 then become Center area 4 towards a hose 3 ″ Packaging material folded down. The first folded and second outer material areas 12, 13 are so long that they are in an overlap area 14 overlap. In this overlap area 14 between the juxtaposed printed products 1, 2 are them with each other and with the one below Material layer welded in one operation. As with The method from FIG. 2 can have two parallel weld seams 5, 6 are applied, cutting in between section line 7. This variant has compared to the Variant from Figure 2 the advantage that in addition to the necessary welding and cutting across the conveying direction only one closure device working in the conveying direction or just one operation to form two Packaging is necessary.

Figur 4a), b) zeigt schematisch zwei Schritte einer weiteren Variante des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens, ähnlich dem aus Fig. 3a), b). Die seitlich überstehenden ersten und zweiten äusseren Materialbereiche 12, 13 sind hier kürzer als in Fig. 3a), b) gezeigt, so dass sie sich beim Umklappen zum Mittenbereich 4 hin nicht überlappen. Sie werden dann einzeln mit jeweils einer Schweissnaht 5, 6 auf die untere Materiallage 9 geschweisst. Der Bereich dazwischen wird entlang der Schnittlinie 7 geschnitten.Figure 4a), b) shows schematically two steps one another variant of the method according to the invention, similar to that of Fig. 3a), b). The protruding to the side first and second outer material areas 12, 13 shown here shorter than in Fig. 3a), b), so that they are do not overlap when folding down to the central area 4. They are then individually welded with 5 6 welded onto the lower layer of material 9. The area in between is cut along section line 7.

Bei der in Figur 5a), b) dargestellten Variante des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens werden die Druckereiprodukte wiederum etwa mittig auf die Verpackungsmaterialbahn 3' gelegt und die überstehenden ersten und zweiten äusseren Materialbereiche 12, 13 zur Mitte hin umgeschlagen. Im Mittenbereich 4 wird die Verpackungsmaterialbahn 3' entlang der Schnittlinie 7 aufgeschnitten. Die dadurch gebildeten ersten und zweiten inneren Materialbereiche 15, 16 werden nach aussen hin umgeschlagen, so dass sie mit den ersten und zweiten äusseren Materialbereichen 12, 13 überlappen. Im Überlappungsbereich auf der Flachseite der Produkte 1, 2 werden die ersten bzw. zweiten Materialbereiche 12 und 15 bzw. 13 und 16 miteinander verschweisst (Schweissnaht 5, 6).In the variant of the shown in Figure 5a), b) The method according to the invention becomes the printed products again in the middle of the packaging material web 3 ' placed and the protruding first and second outer Material areas 12, 13 turned over towards the center. in the Center area 4, the packaging material web 3 ' cut along the section line 7. The result formed first and second inner material regions 15, 16 are turned over to the outside, so that they with the first and second outer material areas 12, 13 overlap. In the overlap area on the flat side of the Products 1, 2 become the first and second, respectively Material areas 12 and 15 or 13 and 16 with each other welded (weld seams 5, 6).

Bei der in Figur 6a), b) dargestellten Variante des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens werden die Druckereiprodukte 1, 2 senkrecht stehend in zwei parallele Schlaufen 23, 24 aus einer einzigen Verpackungsmaterialbahn 3' mit jeweils U-förmigem Querschnitt eingeführt. Das Verpackungsmaterial 3 wird in der Mitte zwischen den Schlaufen in axialer Richtung entlang einer Schnittlinie 7 durchtrennt. Die beiden Materiallagen einer Schlaufe werden jeweils miteinander verschweisst, wobei die Schweissungen 5', 6' in diesem Fall in horizontaler Richtung angebracht werden.In the variant of the shown in Figure 6a), b) The method according to the invention becomes the printed products 1, 2 standing vertically in two parallel loops 23, 24 from a single packaging material web 3 'with each U-shaped cross section introduced. The packaging material 3 is in the middle between the loops in axial Direction cut along a section line 7. The two layers of material in a loop are each welded together, the welds 5 ', 6' in this case, be installed horizontally.

Figur 7a) bis d) zeigt schematisch vier Schritte einer weiteren Variante des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens, bei dem das folienartige Verpackungsmaterial 3 im Mittenbereich 4 zwischen den beiden aufgelegten Druckereiprodukten 1, 2 unter Bildung einer Schlaufe 22 hochgezogen oder hochgedrückt wird, Fig. 7a), b). Die Schlaufe 22 hat eine Länge L1, die seitlich überstehenden äusseren Materialbereiche 12, 13 haben eine Länge L2, wobei die Summe L der Längen L1 und L2 grösser ist als die Breite B der Druckereiprodukte 1, 2. Ausserdem gilt hier L1>B. Die Schlaufe 22 wird am höchsten Punkt mittig aufgeschnitten, Schnittlinie 7, so dass lose innere Materialbereiche 15, 16 gebildet werden. Diese werden nach aussen umgeschlagen und jeweils mit den äusseren Materialbereichen 12, 13 mit Schweissungen 5, 6 verbunden, Fig. 7c), d).Figure 7a) to d) schematically shows four steps one another variant of the inventive method, at which the film-like packaging material 3 in Center area 4 between the two laid on Printed products 1, 2 to form a loop 22 is pulled up or pushed up, Fig. 7a), b). The Loop 22 has a length L1 that protrudes laterally outer material areas 12, 13 have a length L2, where the sum L of the lengths L1 and L2 is greater than that Width B of the printed products 1, 2. Also applies here L1> B. The loop 22 is centered at the highest point cut open, section line 7, so that loose inner Material areas 15, 16 are formed. These are after turned over on the outside and each with the outside Material areas 12, 13 connected with welds 5, 6, Fig. 7c), d).

Die Figuren 8a), b), c) und 9a), b) zeigen Abwandlungen dieses Verfahrens aus Fig. 7a), b). In Figur 8a), b), c) ist die Länge L1 der Schlaufe 22 kleiner als die Länge L2 der äusseren Materialbereiche 12 bzw. 13 und L1<B. Die äusseren Materialbereiche 12 bzw. 13 werden nach innen geklappt und die inneren Materialbereiche 15 bzw. 16 nach dem Auftrennen der Schlaufe 22 nach aussen. Die Materialbereiche werden im Überlappbereich auf der Flachseite der Produkte 1, 2 miteinander verbunden. In Figur 9a), b) hat die Schlaufe 22 eine Länge L1, die etwas grösser als die halbe Breite B des Druckereiprodukts ist. Innere und äussere Materialbereiche 12, 13, 15, 16 werden nach aussen bzw. nach innen geklappt. Auf ein Verschweissen kann beim Verfahren aus Fig. 8 und 9 vorteilhaft verzichtet werden, wenn die Materialbereiche genügend überlappen, da die Umhüllung durch die Querschweissung (nicht gezeigt) genügend stabil ist.Figures 8a), b), c) and 9a), b) show modifications this method from Fig. 7a), b). In Figure 8a), b), c) the length L1 of the loop 22 is less than the length L2 of the outer material areas 12 or 13 and L1 <B. The outer material areas 12 and 13 are facing inwards folded and the inner material areas 15 and 16 respectively the opening of the loop 22 to the outside. The Material areas are in the overlap area on the Flat side of products 1, 2 connected to each other. In Figure 9a), b), the loop 22 has a length L1 which is somewhat is greater than half the width B of the printed product. Inner and outer material areas 12, 13, 15, 16 are folded outwards or inwards. To a Welding can take place in the method from FIGS. 8 and 9 be advantageously dispensed with if the material areas overlap enough because the wrapping is through the Cross weld (not shown) is sufficiently stable.
