  • a first step in the process Fig. 3 sees a wrapping of a stream in at least one row of consecutively moving articles with stretchable film 7 (see. Fig. 1 ) via a first winding module 4, whereby a strand is formed on already wrapped with stretchable film 7 items.
  • a projection 8 (see FIG. Fig. 2 Moves circumferentially, wherein the at least one projection 8 by the circumferential movement with a portion of the strand of already wrapped with stretchable film 7 kraftbeaufschlagt steps into contact and entrains the strand of already wrapped with stretchable film 7 articles under kraftbeetzschlagter plant and in the direction of second winding module 6 moves.
  • a second wrapping of the strand on articles already wrapped with stretchable film with further stretchable film 7 is provided over the second winding module 6.
  • the packaging device 1 of the embodiment of the FIGS. 1 and 2 is for implementing the method 50 of the embodiment Fig. 3 educated.
