Abstract
Soft packs, especially for stacks of paper tissues, may be provided with a closing tab extending over an end wall up to a front wall. This closing tab may be attached to neighboring regions of the wrapping by gussets. Folding members, specifically folding devices (57), which are designed in a special manner, serve for folding in the region of a folding station (34). These folding devices (57) fold the closing tab into an upright position thereby folding in the gussets, during the transport of the packs. A downstream folding tool, specifically a covering-tab folder (83), then folds a covering tab as a part of the closing tab against the front wall.
