Method for packaging an object, in particular a potted plant, having the following steps: A.) providing a packaging with a wall surface in which an opening is formed, B.) providing a sleeve-shaped shrink film with an open first end, an open second end, an inner side and an outer side, C.) placing the object in the packaging and in the sleeve-shaped shrink film in such a way that • the object is in contact with the inside of said wall surface, • the object is arranged in the sleeve-shaped shrink film with the inner side of the sleeve-shaped shrink film facing the object, • the first end of the sleeve-shaped shrink film and a first section adjacent to this first end are arranged in the packaging, the sleeve-shaped shrink film is guided in a central section through the opening in the wall surface, and the second end and a second section adjacent to this second end are arranged outside the packaging, and • the first end of the sleeve-shaped shrink film is sealed or at least narrowed, in such a way that the object cannot exit the sleeve-shaped shrink film through the first end thereof, D.) exerting a tensile force on the second section of the sleeve-shaped shrink film, so that the object is pressed against said wall surface from the inside, E.) everting the second section of the sleeve-shaped shrink film over the packaging, so that the outer side of the second section of the sleeve-shaped shrink film is facing the outer side of the packaging and the packaging is completely or at least partially surrounded by the second section of the sleeve-shaped shrink film, F.) sealing or narrowing the second end of the sleeve-shaped shrink film, at least in such a way that the packaging cannot exit the second section of the sleeve-shaped shrink film through the second end thereof, and G.) heat-treating the second section of the sleeve-shaped shrink film in order to cause the same to shrink.
