Abstract

Film packs (51) for receiving paper hankerchiefs are equipped with a recloseable opening aid consisting of a tear-open tab (34) or a folding tab and of an adhesive label (40) or adhesive strip (47). For the efficient production and special design of packs (51) of this type, they are fed in double rows (52, 53) and are equipped in pairs with adhesive labels (40) or adhesive strips (47). The production and feed of double labels (55) or double strips (79), which are subsequently severed and folded into an end position during the transport of the packs (51), are especially advantageous. By an appropriate design, particularly dimensioning of the adhesive labels (40) with a connecting piece (42) extending in the region of an end wall (27), the stability and handiness of the packs are improved.
