Abstract

A method and apparatus for packaging discrete, substantially planar articles in envelopes. A succession of packages are deposited on one side of a longitudinal centre line (13) of a continuous web (11). As the web moves in the longitudinal direction, it passes between a pair of spaced apart guide bars (15) which urge the side of the web either side of the longitudinal centre line (13) upwardly about the centre line (13) to fold the web about the article. When the web has been fully folded together about the articles, the web side portions are sealed together around the articles to define pockets containing one or more of the articles, which pockets can then be cut from the web to form discrete envelopes containing one or more articles.
