This is a method and device for making a packaging box from two blanks (), wherein blanks are taken simultaneously from two adjacent stacks () and placed on two parallel tracks (), the blanks are transferred flat until butted longitudinally to an assembly station, the first blank is glued on its way to the longitudinal abutment position, the first and second blanks are butted laterally into their respective positions to give them an exact lateral reference position, they are grasped, and transferred laterally, and the second blank is placed on the first blank which is thus indexed, escaping the drivers () of the first track () when the second blank is placed against the fast blank, but clamped by vertical pressure. The second blank is then applied to the first blank to glue them together in their respective defined longitudinal positions, and the resulting set of blanks is then transferred to an erecting station where the box is erected by rolling the blanks around a core.

Method and device for making boxes from a set of blanks

Cardboard packing case for transporting a load with a base and at least four walls, a film made from heat-shrinkable plastic material, and a horizontal added board for pressing down and holding the heat-shrinkable film flat on the inner face of the base of the case, the board having a median line parallel to two walls for longitudinal folding of the board into a tent shape, the median line having a ridge facing towards the top of the case, wherein the film is in the form of a rectangular curtain in a single piece emerging on either side of two opposite edges of the board parallel to the median folding line and extending from those edges over a length sufficient to cover over one another, such that the film envelopes the load and immobilizes it by heat shrinking of the film, and a process and device for producing such a packing case.
