Abstract:
A method for banding groups of bank notes arranged in a stack with a substantially parallelpiped shape and a defined stacking axis, said method comprising the following steps:applying at least a pair of first retaining bands around the stack in contact with two transversal surfaces transverse to the stacking axis and two first lateral surfaces parallel with the stacking axis; applying the at least one second retaining band comprises wrapping the at least one second retaining band around the stack so that the at least one second retaining band is in contact with the two transversal surfaces and the two second lateral surfaces, wherein the two second lateral surfaces are substantially perpendicular to the first lateral surfaces, thus obtaining two zones on each of the two opposite transversal surfaces at which the respective portions of the first and second bands overlap; and sealing the overlapping portions of the three bands together on at least one of the transversal surfaces.
