A rectangular pile of steel sheets is packaged in a single steel sheet automatically by first folding a sheet of steel around the top, bottom and end faces. Blocks are advanced against the end faces and a band is then tensioned around the side and end faces to form partial folds in packaging material protruding from the side face. Further bands are then tensioned around the top, bottom and side faces to form a completed package. The folding is carried out without the need to beat the packaging s...

A process for manufacturing heat-sealable packaging materials which are permeable to air, from a paper, cardboard, pasteboard, or corrugated cardboard base material comprising the steps of applying to the said base material an organic solvent solution consisting essentially of (1) from 10 percent to 50 percent by weight based upon the total solution weight of a thermoplastic material, (2) from 10 percent to 80 percent by weight based upon the weight of solid matter in the solution of an organic ...
