A packaging machine for producing packs containing a group of cigarettes, having in a manufacturing flow direction: a forming unit for forming cigarette groups; a first folding unit at which an inner blank composed of a material suitable for forming a dimensionally stable inner pack is folded around a cigarette group to form an inner pack with the cigarette group as pack content; adjoining said first folding unit, a sealing inner pack unit in which a sealing inner pack is manufactured from the inner pack, the sealing inner pack is folded into a final state, or one sealing inner pack comprising the inner pack is manufactured; and adjoining the sealing inner pack unit, a second folding unit at which an outer blank composed of a material suitable for forming a dimensionally stable outer pack is folded around the sealing inner pack to form an outer pack.

Packaging machine for producing cigarette packs

The invention relates to a method for producing packs () from at least two partial packs () to form one groups of packs () each of especially cuboid (cigarette) packs (), a one-piece blank () being folded along (embossed) fold lines () around the groups of packs () in such a way that mutually facing inner walls () of the partial packs () are folded in between the groups of packs () in a V shape. According to the invention, the substantially flat blank () is conveyed along a blank path () and, during the transport, is at least partially upset in such a way that the inner walls () are folded in a V shape along fold lines () arranged transversely with respect to the transport direction. The invention also relates to a corresponding device for carrying out the method.
