    Abstract: A sub-unit (100) of a smoking article comprising a tubular wrapper (1) which extends along a main axis of extension (X) and internally defines a containment chamber (2) which contains a filling material (M) of the tobacco industry. The tubular wrapper (1) has an access opening on at least one of its ends (3a, 3b) for access to the containment chamber (2). The sub-unit (100) also comprises at least one closing element (10) applied to the at least one end (3a, 3b) of the tubular wrapper (1) to define a closing wall (4) for closing the access opening. The closing element (10) extends transversely to the main axis of extension (X) in such a way as to at least partly close the access opening. Moreover, the end (3a, 3b) to which the closing element (10) is applied has at least one blocking portion (20), transverse to the main axis of extension (X), which extends from a wall of the tubular wrapper (1) towards the main axis of extension (X) to define a blocking surface for blocking the closing element (10).

    Abstract: A method for making a sub-unit of a smoking article comprises a step of preparing a tubular segment (1) of the tobacco industry, specifically a segment which is internally provided with a through duct that terminates with a pair of opposite end openings. The method also comprises applying a connecting strip (2) on the outside surface of the tubular segment (1) in such a way that the connecting strip (2) has a first portion (2a), superposed on the tubular segment (1) to cover a first angular portion of the outside surface of the tubular segment (1), leaving uncovered a second angular portion of the outside surface of the tubular segment (1), and at least one second portion (2b), axially protruding from a respective end of the tubular segment (1). Next, the at least one second portion (2b) of the connecting strip (2) is folded transversely to the first portion (2a) to form a closing wall which at least partly closes the end opening of the tubular segment (1).
