Abstract: A method and apparatus for packing pots or cups in two rows in a package formed of a jacket characterized by providing a blank having a base panel, a pair of lateral panels connected by fold lines to the base panel and a pair of upper panels connected to the lateral panels by fold lines, said base panel having first and second tabs, first and second lateral parts and a median part having first and second lateral zones and a central zone; relatively folding the blank in the base zone so that the first lateral part and the median part of the base panel are folded relative in a first direction through approximately a quarter of a turn relative to the second lateral part to release the second tabs from the plane of the median part; applying paste to the second tabs; relatively folding by about another quarter of a turn in the same direction in order to bring the second lateral zone of the median part over the first lateral part; relatively folding by about a quarter of a turn in a second direction opposite the fi
