Method for packaging a pack commodity, in particular a commodity stack formed by a plurality of commodity pieces, comprising the following steps: providing a support element, in particular a pallet, for supporting the pack commodity, said support element having an upper side, a lower side and side surfaces (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d); placing a first packaging material sheet (3; 3') on the upper side of the support element; arranging the pack commodity on the first packaging material sheet (3; 3') in such a way that a portion of the first packaging material sheet (3; 3') comes to lie between the support element and the pack commodity and that parts (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) of the first packaging material sheet (3; 3') protrude beyond the pack commodity; placing a second packaging material sheet on an upper side of the pack commodity in such a way that parts (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) of the second packaging material sheet protrude beyond the pack commodity; folding the protruding parts (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) of the second packaging material sheet over the protruding parts (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) of the first packaging material sheet (3; 3') so that they overlap along an overlapping portion on the side surfaces (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) of the support element; characterized in that the method further comprises the following method steps: applying a peripheral angular contact-pressure device laterally to the overlapping portion and, in some regions, to the upper side of the second packaging material sheet; and bracing the angular contact-pressure device (50; 50a-50d; 50a'-50d'; 50') by applying one or more tension straps to generate a contact pressure in the overlapping portion. providing a support element, in particular a pallet, for supporting the pack commodity, said support element having an upper side, a lower side and side surfaces (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d); placing a first packaging material sheet (3; 3') on the upper side of the support element; arranging the pack commodity on the first packaging material sheet (3; 3') in such a way that a portion of the first packaging material sheet (3; 3') comes to lie between the support element and the pack commodity and that parts (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) of the first packaging material sheet (3; 3') protrude beyond the pack commodity; placing a second packaging material sheet on an upper side of the pack commodity in such a way that parts (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) of the second packaging material sheet protrude beyond the pack commodity; folding the protruding parts (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) of the second packaging material sheet over the protruding parts (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) of the first packaging material sheet (3; 3') so that they overlap along an overlapping portion on the side surfaces (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) of the support element; characterized in that the method further comprises the following method steps: applying a peripheral angular contact-pressure device laterally to the overlapping portion and, in some regions, to the upper side of the second packaging material sheet; and bracing the angular contact-pressure device (50; 50a-50d; 50a'-50d'; 50') by applying one or more tension straps to generate a contact pressure in the overlapping portion. applying a peripheral angular contact-pressure device laterally to the overlapping portion and, in some regions, to the upper side of the second packaging material sheet; and bracing the angular contact-pressure device (50; 50a-50d; 50a'-50d'; 50') by applying one or more tension straps to generate a contact pressure in the overlapping portion.
