Abstract: A method for wrapping a product in a sheet material wrapper employing a first sheet of plastically deformable sheet material (for example aluminium) and a second sheet of wrapping material (for example a plastic film) having springback. Once the product is placed on the first sheet, the second sheet is applied on the product providing in the second sheet a part wrapping the product and a part facing the first sheet. The first sheet and the part of said second sheet facing it are airtight-seal coupled so to form, by effect of the coupling, a plastically deformable composite sheet material against the product or to form an integral housing cup.

Abstract: An apparatus for packaging an article in a wrapping of a sheet material surrounding the article and closed in a fantail configuration, comprising: shaping means suited to wrapping the article with the said wrapping of sheet material and shaping the wrapping into a general cup-like configuration formed into a plurality of loops surmounting the article, holding means suited to grasping the upper portions of the wrapping shaped in said manner in the connecting zones between said loops, to maintain said portions in an upright position, opposed pushing means which are intended to be operated subsequently to said holding means and which are displaceable between a retracted position and an advanced position, in which they interfere with the loops of the wrapping to impart a generally flattened configuration to the wrapping in the zone extending above the article, and opposed fastening means displaceable in a direction substantially at right angles to the direction of motion of said pushing means, and intended to

Abstract: The articles to be wrapped are located over the mouth of a forming device with the interposition of a sheet of wrapping material. Extending from this mouth is a cavity in which, as a result of the advancement of the article caused by a pusher element, the wrapper material is wrapped around the front face of the article relative to its direction of the advance. Subsequently the cavity contracts around behind the article to be wrapped and this contraction completes the wrapping of the wrapper material around the article itself. The preferred application is in the packaging of food products such as, for example, confectionery products.
