Abstract
A method for packaging articles in a box includes the steps of depositing at least one article in a mandrel, and folding a blank around the mandrel in correspondence with at least one folding line of the blank. The blank is folded along the folding line abutting the folding line and an edge of the mandrel only for a first part of the folding line, while a second part of the folding line remains not abutted by the mandrel.

A method for packaging articles in a box comprising:
- (a) depositing at least one of said articles in a mandrel, and
- (b) folding a blank around said mandrel in correspondence with a folding line of said blank to form the box, a first part of said folding line abutting an edge of said mandrel and a second part of said folding line not abutting said mandrel, said box containing said at least one of said articles.
A packaging device for packaging articles in boxes, comprising:
- a mandrel configured to accommodate one of said articles inside the mandrel and to abut a blank when said blank is wrapped at least partially outside said mandrel to form one of said boxes,
- a folding element comprising an abutment region, the abutment region configured to abut said blank and to fold said blank around said mandrel when:
- (i) said blank is positioned between said mandrel and said folding element and
- (ii) said mandrel and said folding element are positioned relative to each other in a folding configuration, and
- a movement member configured to move said mandrel with respect to said folding element towards said folding configuration,
- wherein, in said folding configuration, said abutment region of said folding element comprises:
- a first zone spaced from a first edge of said mandrel facing said abutment region by a first distance, the first distance being greater than a thickness of said blank, and
- a second zone, adjacent to said first zone, spaced from any edge of said mandrel facing said abutment region by a second distance, the second distance being greater than said first distance.
