The invention relates to a method for packaging rolls, particularly paper web rolls; the method includes the steps of taking a roll into a supported position on a roll rotation station and wrapping onto the roll a paper wrapper or the like material dispensed by means of at least one wrapper dispensing station and dispensing means, whereby the wrapper is wound so as to form either a centered wrapping or an overlapping wrapping. The invention is implemented by way of aligning the roll for the wrapping operation by means of transferring the roll rotation station laterally in the axial direction of the roll in regard to the wrapper dispensing system. The invention also relates to an apparatus and a novel roll package utilizing the method.

Method of packaging rolls, particularly paper web rolls, apparatus for implementing the method and roll package

A package of a roll, particularly a paper web roll comprising a wrapper, particularly a paper web wrapper wound stagewise into at least two wrappings about the roll in an overlap fashion. The paper web wrapper is wound about the roll in a slightly helical manner so that the edges of the wrapper layers overlap in a staggered fashion. The staggered edges of the overlap wrapping are formed so that each superposed wrapper layer conceals the underlying wrapper layer, whereby in a finished wrapping of a product only one wrapper edge remains visible.

Roll package

An apparatus for picking roll headers (2) separately one-by-one from a stack (1). The apparatus includes a picking device (3), which is adapted for picking always the uppermost header (2) from the stack (1). The invention is implemented by providing the apparatus with at least one clamp member (6) arranged to extend at least partially above the header stack (1) simultaneously being supported against the upper rim edge of the header stack (1), whereby the clamp member(s) (6) is/are able to keep the next header below stationary during the picking of the uppermost header.
