Abstract
A method of packaging products, in particular moist products, wherein an areal packaging material is positioned at the outer surfaces of a product while forming fold lines such that the product is completely surrounded by packaging material. The packaging material is first folded adjacent to a lower side region while forming side surface regions and end face regions such that a container open at one side is formed. Sections of the packaging material that project beyond the rim of the container open at one side in the regions of mutually oppositely disposed product side surfaces are folded so far over one another while covering the product upper side of the product until they contact one another in order then to be sealed with one another in a first sealing region. In a second and third sealing region, sections of the packaging material which project outwardly from the product in the region of mutually oppositely disposed end face regions are sealed with such regions of the packaging material which project outwardly from the product from the upper side region and from the side surface regions of the packaging material.
