Abstract: A method and apparatus for packing a box or other product is disclosed which involves wrapping a packing sheet about the product in an improved fashion. The method includes lapping the packing sheet around the product, folding opposed side edges of end portions of the packing sheet over ends of the product and folding upper and lower edges of the folded end portions of the sheet over the product ends. The upper edges of the sheet are folded upwardly at the same time that side edges are folded over at least one end of the product. Upper and lower edges of the end portions are then folded over the product ends and attached to each other. The apparatus for performing the method includes a packing sheet lapping section, a product transfer path located adjacent to a leading side of the lapping section, a pusher positioned adjacent to a trailing side of the lapping section and a plurality of folding elements.
