In a method and an apparatus for packaging an object, like a stack of goods (1) disposed on a pallet (2), with a shrinkable foil (8, 20) a foil hood (20) is formed out of a foil hose (8). Said foil hood (20) subsequently is opened by a first gripper means (10, 11), is gripped and is moved to the object. Subsequently, said foil hood (20) is pulled over said object to be packaged and simultaneously shrunk onto said object. Therein, the heating means (17) during pulling over of said foil hood (20) is disposed with a fixed distance above a gripper means (16) for pulling over said foil hood (20) over said object. By the method in accordance with the present invention and by the corresponding apparatus, the output of the plant can be increased, wherein said foil hood (20) is shrunk onto said object essentially without creating folds, without the foils of the good itself or the hood pasting together.
