One type of machine is used to cover wholly or partially individual items or collected groups of items with a flexible material, i.e. paper, metal foil, plastic or cellulose film. Machines also included in this category are those that collate and distribute items in readiness for covering, those that fill cases, those that prepare the materials and containers used in packaging and those that seal the covering.
