To provide a method and equipment for detecting the completeness of a bundle body made of an article related to the tobacco processing industry, especially a bundle body made of a cigarette package.

The weight (a) of a bundle body 2 is detected, and the detected weight (a) is compared with a reference weight (d). For this purpose, equipment 1, provided with a comparator, a weighing means 32 combined with the comparator for detecting the weight of the bundle body 2, and a memory means combined with the comparator for memorizing the reference weight (d) of a complete bundle body, is so structured that the same can detect using the comparator whether the detracted weight (a) matches the reference weight.
