A method of wrapping elongated articles in groups provides for feeding a first and a second pocket (6; 7) continuously along two respective paths (P1, P2) having a common portion (T), along which the first pocket (6) penetrates the second pocket (7) to transfer a group (3) from the first to the second pocket (6, 7) together with a sheet (18) of wrapping material, which is folded into a U inside the second pocket (7) and has two parallel, opposite flaps (57, 58) gripped between first and second lateral walls (13, 22, 23); and for compressing the group (3) between a first and a second bottom wall (12, 21) and, at the same time, extracting the first lateral walls (13) from the second pocket (7). |
