A review of technology and equipment for packaging printed products in cardboard measuring sheets has been carried out. The advantages of this packaging material are its environmental friendliness, low cost and wide distribution. Relevant equipment of domestic production, as well as modern production of Germany and China, has been considered.

A new design solution for equipment for packing stacks of flat objects into a package is presented, which simplifies the design and allows for adjustment of operating parameters when changing the format and height of the stack, which is protected by a patent of Ukraine. The principle structural diagram of a device that packs a stack of finished products into a dimensional sheet of cardboard is considered. First, a sheet of wrapping material (cardboard) is removed from the stack and transported along the table. The process of wrapping a stack of products into a sheet occurs during two movements of the object - vertical from top to bottom and horizontal lateral. The executive tools are located in two tunnels. A feature of the design of the device for packing stacks of printed products into a package is the presence of an adjustable wrapping chamber, which allows it to be quickly adapted to the stack format.

The format of the sheet of wrapping material for a certain height of the stack of products has been calculated, the main factors influencing it have been determined.

A structural diagram of the drive of the device for packaging printed products in a package has been proposed. The drive contains an electric motor, a clutch, a number of gears that drive the main shaft of the device with the cams of the executive cyclic mechanisms mounted on it - the mechanisms for moving the table, the pressure plate, the pusher and the drive bender. Such a kinematic diagram ensures the synchronous operation of all executive elements of the packaging process during one technological cycle.

The developed original structural diagram of the device for packaging printed products in a package simplifies the structure of the equipment and ensures its operational adjustment when changing the paper format and stack height.
