  • a holding mechanism 92 for holding the large batch is composed of the first holding unit 50 and the second holding unit 60.
  • a wrapping machine 90 for wrapping the large batch with the wrapping sheet S is composed of the adhering units 70, the adhering units 71, the wrapping sheet rolls 72, the holding mechanism 92 and the heating unit 80.
  • each banknote handling machine 12 functions as a small-batch making machine for making a small batch B in which a plurality of banknotes are bundled by a bundling paper P.
  • a large batch is wrapped with the wrapping sheet S without being bundled.
  • a bundling member such as a bundling paper P for bundling the large batch
  • a running cost for the bundling member can be decreased.
  • the machine can have a smaller size.
  • the wrapping machine 90 in this embodiment is provided with the holding mechanism 92 for holding a large batch. While the holding mechanism 92 holds a large batch, the large batch is wrapped with the wrapping sheet S.
  • the holding mechanism 92 includes the first holding unit 50 and the second holding unit 60. A part of the large batch held by the first holding unit 50 and a part of the large batch held by the second holding unit 60 differ from each other.
  • the first holding unit 50 is configured to hold the large batch from the right and left sides.
  • the second holding unit 60 is configured to hold the large batch from the up and down sides.
  • the large batch held by the first holding unit 50 is delivered, in the wrapped condition with the wrapping sheet S, from the first holding unit 50 to the second holding unit 60. Then, the adhering units 70 and 71 thermally adhere the wrapping sheet S wrapping the large batch, which has been delivered from the first holding unit 50 to the second holding unit 60.
  • the heating unit 80 for heating the large batch wrapped with the wrapping sheet S.
  • the heating unit 80 is configured to heat the wrapping sheet S wrapping the large batch to thermally shrink the wrapping sheet S.
  • a small batch B includes a plurality of banknotes that are bundled by a bundling paper P, and there is provided the adjusting mechanism 30 for adjusting a position of the bundling paper P on the small batch B.
  • the adjusting unit 30 includes the reversing unit 34 that reverses the small batch B so as to vary the position of the bundling paper P on the small batch B.
  • the wrapping sheet S for wrapping the large batch is transparent or translucent.
  • the respective small batches B constituting the large batch wrapped with the wrapping sheet S are visible.
  • data e.g., a bank name, a date of bundling and so on
  • printed on the bundling paper P on each small batch B can be confirmed.
  • the wrapping machine and the wrapping system according to the present invention are not limited to the above embodiment, and can be variously modified.
  • the small batch B constituting the large batch is not limited to a batch in which a plurality of banknotes are bundled by the bundling paper P.
  • the small batch B constituting the large batch may be a batch in which a plurality of paper sheets (e.g., checks, coupons) other than banknotes are bundled by the bundling paper P.
  • a member other than the bundling paper P may be used as the bundling member for bundling a plurality of paper sheets.
  • the wrapping sheet S for wrapping the large batch is not limited to a transparent or translucent resin film. Another kind of sheet (such as paper) may be used, as long as it can reliably wrap the large batch.
  • the banknote handling machine 12 which performs various processes such as a banknote depositing process, a banknote dispensing process and so on, is not necessarily provided.
  • a mere apparatus which is configured to make a small batch B by stacking a plurality of (e.g., one hundred) banknotes and by bundling the banknotes by a bundling paper P, may be provided in place of the banknote handling machine 12.
