ABSTRACT:
A shrink wrapped package which provides improved aesthetics in the shrink wrapping of a stack of articles. A stack of articles are received within a sleeve which surrounds the stack of articles and maintains them in stacked relation. One of the end articles in the stack has sidewalls which are spaced from the sleeve. The end of the sleeve adjacent the end article has pivotable panels dependent therefrom, which are moveable from a position spaced from the sidewall of the end article into abutment with the sidewall of the end article. The articles are received in the sleeve with the panels spaced form the article sidewall, and the sleeve is then wrapped in a sheet of shrinkable material. Upon shrinkage of the shrinkable material, the material pulls the flaps into contact with the article sidewall, and the shrinkable material conforms smoothly to the contour of the sleeve without inward bending or warping of the sleeve.
