Abstract
The invention relates to a sheet (14) of paper or cardboard that is folded into a tubular shape (16) around one or more products (12). In the longitudinal direction of the tubular shape, the edges (21, 22) of the sheet are folded over one another. At the first end (24) of the tubular shape, the part of the sheet that projects beyond the one or more products is indented at a first side face (17) of the tubular shape. At the first end of the tubular shape, the part of the sheet that projects beyond the one or more products and that forms the top face (19) is pressed against the bottom face (20) such that a part of said top face (19) contacts a part of the bottom face (20) and a wedge (26) is formed at the first end of the tubular shape.
