  • the shrink film is formed with a closed surface in the form of a closure with overlapping fold areas.
  • such packaging units or the shrunk-on film have two opposite end-side shrinkage eyes, which form on the opposite side surfaces.
  • the shrunk-on film forms a closed surface in one embodiment.
  • the shrinking or shrunk-on film can have an opening in the region of these shrinkage eyes.
  • placing the packaging unit with the end face on a floor area covered with stones or other pointed particles may result in the products accommodated in the packaging unit, in particular cans, being damaged and the contents, for example beer, absorbed therein being discharged.
  • Such packaged packaging units are also already known in which cans are accommodated on a cardboard carrier element of U-shaped cross-section, the products or cans being located on a rectangular receiving section of the carrier element and two flanged wall sections adjoining the edge sides thereof , which, however, have a narrow width.
  • the wall sections of the support element extend with respect to their width up to a maximum of one third of the height of the products or the can height.

Due to the covering according to the invention of the end faces of the product formation or packaging unit by the cover element, damage to the products, in particular cans of the packaging unit, due to external influences can be effectively avoided.
  • the at least one cover element made of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or a similar material is advantageously produced in one piece. Further advantageously, the at least one cover is flat and has a width which is greater than half the product height, but smaller than product height. Furthermore, the at least one flat cover element has a length that is smaller than the width of the packaging unit.
  • Ante is the at least one cover flat and rectangular, oval or round.
  • the at least one cover element is U-shaped. As a result, an effective protection of the corner region of the packaging unit is additionally achieved.
  • a first and a second cover element are provided, wherein the first cover element is designed to completely cover the first opening and the second cover element to completely cover the second opening.
  • the at least one covering element is glued to the product formation or individual products.
  • the invention likewise provides a process for producing at least one packaging unit consisting of individual products combined to form a product formation and a shrunk-on film, in which the products are fixed against one another by means of the shrunk-on film, the packaging unit having at least two opposite end faces.
  • at least one cover element is fixed in the region of at least one end face on the product formation before shrinking the film.
  • the products and / or the at least one covering provided with an adhesive which can be prepared for example by spraying.
