The apparatus for wrapping compressible box-like articles (10) such as a stock of newspapers or magazines, with a web-like wrapping material (12). The apparatus has three serially arranged belt conveyors (16, 18, 20), and the second belt conveyor (18) is in the form of a bearing table (24) which can be rotated about a vertical axis (26). The bearing table mounts two pressure-exerting members (30, 32). The article (10') which is to be wrapped is introduced in a compressed state, by the first belt conveyor (16), into a wrap-around channel (42) which is formed by the table (24) and one of the pressure-exerting members (30), and the wrapping material (70) is positioned around the article in the form of a U. At the same time, the article (10), which has been previously wrapped in this way, is transferred to the third belt conveyor (20). A guide arrangement (62) for the wrapping material is then moved in a downward direction forming a loop of the material which is composed of a first end section (76) and a parallel second end section (78) which is guided along the trailing side (82) of the article. The loop of the material (70) is then severed at the base of the loop and the bearing table (24) is rotated in order that, as the article (10') is transferred to the third belt conveyor (20), the end section (78) is positioned against the article (10') to complete the wrapping. The first end section (76) is positioned to be engaged by the next article as it is advanced onto the table (24).
