A method and apparatus for wrapping a package or article with a wrapper sheet. A package is moved through a wrapper sheet in such a manner as to have the wrapping material extend across the advanced end of the package and two opposite sides thereof. The wrapper sheet is shifted in its placed position on the package to effect the desired alignment thereof with respect to the package. In the apparatus of this invention, specific means are provided to effect the desired method steps. In a specific embodiment of this invention a roller member is disposed in the wrapping machine to frictionally grip the wrapper sheet after the sheet has been placed onto the package. The manner in which the wrapper sheet is gripped by the roller member will cause the sheet to shift position on the package as desired.
