Abstract

A blank and a package are disclosed as well as a manufacturing method thereof of a package for flat plates, including: producing a foldable flat blank made of a packaging material; folding the flat blank to form a box-shaped package with open closable flaps; introducing the flat plates into the box-shaped package and closing the closable flaps; in the production step of the flat blank the following steps being further provided: supplying a web of the wrapping material to a punching and sorting unit to obtain strips parallel to a travel direction; punching and separating elongated modular pieces from the strips; folding flat to an L-shape the elongated modular pieces, bringing them close in pairs in correspondence of respective ends; fastening the modular pieces folded to an L-shape in correspondence of the respective ends, forming the blank in the shape of a quadrangular frame.
