PACKAGING PROCESS USING THERMORETRACTABLE SLEEVE WITH HANDLE AND THERMORETRACABLE PACKAGING SLEEVE

摘要

The invention relates to a method of packaging an object, comprising the following phases: - the realization of a heat-shrinkable sleeve which delimits a handle band (6) extending between the end edge (3) and a limit of threading the heat-shrinkable sleeve around the object, - producing, in the handle strip (6), at least two cutouts (12) symmetrically opposite to the axis of symmetry of the sleeve, - the introduction of the sleeve around the object to the threading limit, - retraction of the handle band during heating of the sleeve, so that the cutouts (12) form openings defining with the end edge a handle (17). ) extending outside the object.
