ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for wrapping articles on a pallet, in a foil hood, includes drawing off from a supply, a flat tube formed from two foil webs The webs are folded in an inward direction and directly superposed in a flat state with an integral foil The method includes opening out the end, which is to the fore in the draw off direction of the tube, at least partially sealing the length, pulled off the foil supply, essentially athwart the draw off direction at a position remote from the foremost end of the tube. The method includes cutting off the tube from the remaining foil supply at a position preceding the sealing position, drawing the tube over the articles to be wrapped, after preceding reefing of the hood or of the tube portion eventually forming it on a reefing means The method further includes forming the flat tube, after final draw off from the supply and prior to sealing being so folded inward from its outer sides in a V-shape that the two foil webs are superposed at the outer side during sealing respectively not directly but with the inclusion therebetween of a V-shaped foil fold whose fold tip extends toward the middle of the foil fold.
