Automatic packaging machine () for filling a bag () made of heat-sealable material, having an open upper end () with a dose of loose product; the packaging machine () has: a packaging conveyor (); a pick-up head (), which is supported by the packaging conveyor () to advance along a packaging path (P); an input station (S) where the empty bag () is grabbed by the pick-up head (); an output station (S) where the full, sealed bag () leaves the pick-up head (); a filling device () that is mounted on the packaging conveyor () to move together with the pick-up head () along the entire packaging path (P) and is adapted to supply the dose of product inside the bag () through the upper open end (); and a sealing device () that is mounted on the packaging conveyor () to move together with the pick-up head () along the entire packaging path (P) and is adapted to seal the full bag () through a heat-seal in correspondence with the open upper end ().

A method of overwrapping packets in the form of a rectangular prism, whereby a packet, as it is fed continuously along a wrapping path, is first centered with respect to a relative conveying seat, and is then paired with a relative sheet of wrapping material, which is folded about the packet to form a tubular wrapping projecting axially from the packet in the form of two tubular appendixes, which are folded to form a closed overwrapping; each tubular appendix being at least partly folded onto the relative packet before the relative tubular wrapping is completed.
