Abstract: A method of shrinking a heat shrinkable film onto product units, in which a heat shrinkable film is wrapped around a product unit so as to form an opening in the heat shrinkable film on a side of the product unit. A hot, gaseous medium is then emitted from at least one discharge or nozzle to thereby shrink the heat shrinkable film on the product unit while simultaneously moving the product unit on a conveying arrangement along a transport path. The emission of the hot, gaseous medium is controlled such that essentially all of the hot, gaseous medium emitted from the at least one discharge to shrink the heat shrinkable film on the product unit, during movement of the product unit along the transport path, is directed at the side of the product unit having the opening in the heat shrinkable film.
