An apparatus for applying a wraparound cover (4) to a pad (5) includes a loading station (32), a creasing station (33) having a pair of knife edges (118, 119) and an anvil (97) for applying a pair of parallel creases (18, 19) in the cover, a gluing station (34) for applying a bead of glue (23) to an underside of the pad (5) and a folding station for folding an overlap portion of the cover about the rear and underside of the pad so as to engage the glue bead (23). The folding station includes a holdown mechanism (57) and an articulated hand (58) that folds the cover overlap portion at each crease about the rear edges of the pad.
