ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus (10) for wrapping of an article. The apparatus comprises backing means (20) adapted to be moved against the first and second ends of the article and simultaneously to dispose a wrapper material against said ends. After said wrapper material is disposed against the first end the article is moved relative to the wrapping station and a web-like wrapper material roll (13) thereof such that wrapper material emerges simultaneously from the roll on the top of the article. First folding means (26) are arranged to fold the portions of the wrapper material extending over the width of the first end of the article against the sides. As the second end of the article reaches the backing means (20), said second end is correspondingly engaged with a second surface (21) of the backing means such that the wrapper material becomes disposed between said surface and said second end. The wrapper material web is then cut, and the portions thereof extending over the width of said second end are subsequently folded against the sides of the article by second folding means (28). The side portions of the wrapper extending over the width of the article on the top thereof are disposed against the sides of the article, whereby the wrapper is finished.
