Abstract

A packaging machine comprises a frame, at least two work stations arranged behind each other and carried by the frame and transport means for advancing the packaging material. In order to simplify the manufacture and to reduce the weight of the frame parts the lateral frame parts have a substantially U-shaped cross-section having an upper cross-link and two downwardly directed sidewalls. The free ends of the sidewalls are connected by connecting members.
