Abstract (en)

_A method for wrapping an object (110) by means of a hot sheet of heat-shrink material comprises the following operations: a) _heating a downstream portion (121) of a continuous tape (120) of heat-shrinkable material at a first temperature; b) _cutting (130) said heated downstream portion (121) of continuous tape in order to obtain a hot sheet (100.S1) ; c.1) _heating said last hot sheet (100.S1) of heat-shrinkable material to a second temperature which is slightly lower than the softening and/or shrinking temperature of the heat-shrinkable material; c.2) _heating said last sheet (100.S2) of heat-shrink material to a third temperature which is equal to or greater than the softening and/or shrinking temperature of the heat-shrinkable material; d) _winding said last hot sheet (100.S3) of heat-shrinkable material having said temperature equal to or greater than the softening and/or shrinking temperature of the heat-shrinkable material around the article (110) to be wrapped.
