Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for preparing a grand bale (10) of pulp sheet or similar. The grand bale (10) of pulp sheet contains two or more pulp-sheet bales (12), each of which pulp-sheet bales (12) is bound by wrapping a web-like wrapping band (16) around the bale to bind the bale. The wrapping band (16) has a start (18) lying against the pulp-sheet bale (12) and an end (20) remaining on the surface of the wrapping band (16). 1.5 or more rounds of wrapping band (16) are wrapped around the pulp-sheet bale (12). The pulp-sheet bales (12) are placed on top of each other, in such a way that gravity forms a bond between the rounds of wrapping band (16) when they remain between two of the pulp-sheet bales (12) on top of each other in the grand bale (10). The invention also relates to a corresponding grand bale (10) of pulp sheet.
