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 (OS), a lower side (US) and side surfaces ; placing a first packaging material sheet (3; 3') on the upper side (OS) 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 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 of the second packaging material sheet protrude beyond the pack commodity ; folding the protruding parts of the second packaging material sheet over the protruding parts of the first packaging material sheet (3; 3') so that they overlap along an overlapping portion on the side surfaces 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 (OS), a lower side (US) and side surfaces ; placing a first packaging material sheet (3; 3') on the upper side (OS) 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 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 of the second packaging material sheet protrude beyond the pack commodity ; folding the protruding parts of the second packaging material sheet over the protruding parts of the first packaging material sheet (3; 3') so that they overlap along an overlapping portion on the side surfaces 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 . <EOS>
