To produce a contour-hood shrink-wrap package, the package stack which has the smaller upper goods layer on it, is shrunk in a film-hood, the inner-hood, is turned 180°, the contour hood drawn into position and shrunk once again. The smaller head layer is formed after turning the base layer with shoulders for attaching fork-lift forks and crane harnesses.

The robustness of a contour-hood shrink-wrap package can be determined by the film density and the length of the contour hood, which surrounds the entire package height as a full hood and strengthens the base area of the package or as upper hood only covers the upper layers of the stack.
