A method for producing a pallet-less packaging unit has multiple packaging objects stacked to a stack of goods. The objects are stacked with a special layer that forms at least two encroachment areas for fork legs of a lift truck in at least one stack level. The special layer is first stacked on a normal layer larger than the special layer. The stack of goods is wrapped with its encroachment areas with a first film, the stack of goods that is wrapped on one side is turned around so the part of the stack of goods that has the special layer comes downwards and the stack of goods is wrapped with a second film that reaches up to the first film. In embodiments, second encroachment areas extend essentially at a right angle to first encroachment areas. The method provides a pallet-less packaging unit that can be handled more easily. |
