Abstract

A method of producing film-wrapped packages or packaged units, wherein a package or packaged unit is wrapped in a film hose formed by helical wrapping of the film (web) (30). In front of the wrapping front advancing relative to the package, a tear-up thread is also enclosed by the forming film hose. A weakening (tear-up) line is formed in the film hose in the vicinity and along the length of the tear-up thread. Here, an abutment for a spiked roller (10) is formed by a stationary tongue (12) above a conveyor belt (6) and below the film (web) (30).
