A method and apparatus are provided for fabricating a hooded thermoplastic shipping wrapper for enveloping three sides and the ends of elongated packages of lumber and the like. A table is provided for supporting the center piece of the wrapper, forming a welded trough or pocket and drawing cord in one end, forming the center piece into an inverted U-shaped cross section and welding an end plate to the periphery of the cross section to provide a hood shape to the finished wrapper. The table is either winged to go from a flat to a U-shape or is tapered to permit one end of the center piece to assume a U-shape for receiving the welded end plate.
