Abstract: A process for packing a liquid, pasty or granular product, comprises: theforming, in a first chain of work stations, juxtaposed containers from a first band of thermoplastic material, these containers remaining joined to the first band by their top edges, which are in the same plane as the first band; filling the containers so formed with the product; thermoforming, a second chain of work stations superimposed on the first plurality of work stations, profiled closure lids from a second band of thermoplastic material; moving the second band stepwise and in synchronism with the first band so that each closure lid covers the open end of a respective filled container; covering the closure lids with a guarantee sheet formed from a guarantee band; sealing each guarantee sheet on the rim of the respective closure lid simultaneously with sealing of said closure lid to a rim of the respective container; and separating the sealed containers from one another, each closure lid being formed of a profiled portion a part of
