In order to substantially reduce the time required for wrapping articles to be packaged (15) with foldable material, the invention proposes, first of all, the dimensions (edge contours) of corresponding blanks (2) from the dimensions of different articles to be packaged (4). be determined, which allow a simplification of the packaging process. The dimensions of these blanks (2) are then stored as digital data in an electronic memory (8). After selecting a specific article to be packaged (15), the foldable material (11) stored in a roll is automatically withdrawn from a dispenser (10) by means of a take-off device and the stored digital data of a computer-controlled cutting device associated with the blank (2) of this article (15) (12) supplied, which then creates a corresponding blank (2). With this blank (2), the corresponding object (15) is then packed manually or automatically.
