Abstract

Packaging of card or corrugated cardboard in the form of a basket and for the purpose of packaging loads such as rows of bottles. According to the invention the cover of said package is formed by two upsidedown trapezium-section gutters that are engaged one in the other, enabling said cover to be formed accurately regardless of the kind and/or shape of the load. A machine is also provided for enabling such packages to be closed on a continuous basis as they pass through the machine towards an outlet therefrom.
