- the stabilising means (70, 80) advantageously translate in the advancement direction (W1) with the same velocity as the half-package (100).
- the stabilising means are positioned bilaterally to the flat article (2) and each comprise a plate (70) that is slidable in the advancement direction and activatable for lowering/raising between a non- operative configuration (figures 1-4, 9-10) and an operative configuration (figures 5-6, 11) in which it intercepts the upper flaps (41) or lower flaps (42), of the first blank (4) to maintain them in contact against the respective upper and lower faces of the flat article (2).
- the plate 70 is activated from the operative configuration to the non- operative configuration in phase with the intercepting of the front portion (63) of the central region (60) of the second blank (6) by the half-package (100).
- the plate (70) can remain in the operative configuration while the half-package (101), sliding from the plate (70), is brought into the second station (S2) by action of the third presser means (12).

- the half-package is exclusively subjected to a translation movement in transit from the first station (in which the half-package is realised) to the second station (in which the packaging is completed).
- the method is particularly advisable for packaging stacks of tiles having medium/large dimensions as the limited longitudinal extension of the blanks facilitates the folding operations on the lateral flanks of the tiles, while providing a continuous peripheral protection on the lateral flanks.
- the use of lateral portions (44) of the central region (40) of the first blank (4) having different longitudinal dimensions, in particular smaller, with respect to the longitudinal dimensions of the lateral portions (64) of the central region (60) of the second blank (6) advantageously enables reducing the times for realising the half-package and thus of the final package.
