Abstract

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for packing end covers of paper rolls and a package for end covers (2, 2a) of paper rolls. In the method, end covers (2, 2a) are compressed in a pile in the axial direction of the pile, after which the end cover pile is wrapped in a protective paper (1) and the edges (1a) of the paper are folded and fastened onto the outermost end covers (2a) of the end cover pile. The apparatus has compression surfaces between which the end covers (2, 2a) are stacked, rotating reels on which the end cover pile can revolve when it is compressed so that the protective paper (1) can be wrapped around the end cover pile, and fixing means with which the edges (1a) of the protective paper (1) are folded over the outermost end covers (2a) and fastened onto them with glue. In the package, end covers (2) are compressed in a pile in the axial direction of the pile, and the end cover pile is wrapped in a protective paper (1) that is fastened at its edges (1a) onto the outer surface of the outermost end covers (2a).
