The invention relates to a pack (2) without a wrapping film, which pack is formed in each case from a group of articles comprising at least two, preferably at least four articles (4) disposed in a non-nesting position, wherein neighbouring articles (4) touch one another in at least one spherically designed contact region (12) of the articles in one or more contact or touching surfaces (13). The contact and touching surfaces (13) of each article interrupt the spherical contact region (12) in the radial direction viewed in the circumferential direction, preferably in a positive manner, wherein at least a part of the contact and touching surfaces (13) and/or a sub-region thereof is provided with an application of adhesive (8).
