Patent ID: 7954304

Claim:
A method of realizing blanks ( 1 ) for packing substantially flat articles ( 4 ) exhibiting substantially polygonal shapes, the method comprising a stage of predisposing a structure ( 2 ) made of a packing material provided with a plurality of fold lines ( 3 ) for folding the structure ( 2 ) at least partially about the at least a flat object ( 4 ), wherein predisposing the structure ( 2 ) comprises stages of: preparing at least a length ( 5 ) of packing material for each side ( 4 a ) of the substantially polygonal shape of the flat article ( 4 ) to be packed; creasing each length ( 5 ) along at least two predetermined fold lines ( 3 ); consecutively joining the lengths ( 5 ) in order to define a frame ( 6 ) having a substantially polygonal shape, wherein each length ( 5 ) is realized starting from a supply of substantially identical panels ( 9 ) of packing material, and wherein realizing each length ( 5 ) comprises following stages: supplying two or more panels ( 9 ) in series; consecutively joining the panels ( 9 ) in order to constitute a continuous strip ( 10 ) of packing material extending prevalently along a predetermined development direction; cutting the continuous strip ( 10 ) transversally to the development direction thereof, according to a predetermined length thereof.
