Abstract: A method of packaging a plurality of food containers and a package for food containers are disclosed. The method is fast and inexpensive and optimizes the use of cardboard or paperboard to make the package without plastics and may be used in the mass production of packaging for containers. The package is defined by a plurality of containers placed on a tray of optimal dimensions according to the dimensions of the containers. The tray is creased and has two side flaps that can be rotated to attach to the side faces of the containers by glue. The extension of the flaps is proportional to the height of the containers and the flaps can be punched in order to have aesthetically appreciable shapes and to reduce the bulk and the risk of breaking the package made.

Abstract: A machine for packing tetrahedral products is disclosed which includes a conveyor belt driven in a first direction (F1) along a longitudinal direction (L), as well as a first handler suitable for grasping tetrahedral products carried the conveyor belt. The first handler has a handling head suitable for grasping a plurality of tetrahedral products arranged on the conveyor belt, in which one or more accumulators suitable for accumulating the tetrahedral products in a row are arranged along the conveyor belt. A rotating device is arranged along the conveyor belt before the accumulators for rotating a tetrahedral product with an orientation substantially opposite with respect to the preceding tetrahedral product on the same conveyor belt. The present invention also relates to a process which can be carried out by the machine, as well as a container and/or a packaging filled by means of such machine and/or process.
