According to the invention, the overwrapping device comprises means (38) of dispensing overwrapping blanks (F) and means (22) for loading products (A) grouped together within a work station for distributing and loading preparatory batches (LP) and means (72) for closing preparatory batches (LP) and means (74) for offloading overwrapped batches (Ls) grouped together within a work station for closing and offloading the overwrapped batches (Ls).
