A method, a packaging system, and use for packaging objects on a conveyor using a hose-shaped stretch foil of plastic material. A method, system, and use, where the hose-shaped stretch foil may be stretched around the objects in a horizontal manner. The packaging system comprises a first conveyor and a second conveyor where first and second conveyors are arranged for conveying objects from said first conveyor to said second conveyor. The system comprises a foil dispensing mechanism arranged in a space between the first and the second conveyor, and being arranged for dispensing a continuous hose-shaped foil onto said conveyed objects. The method comprises the steps of: conveying a first object and a second object via the first conveyor in a first conveying direction towards said second conveyor; conveying the first object through the foil dispensing mechanism, hereby arranging the hose-shaped foil onto the first object; conveying the first object from the first conveyor to the second conveyor; and conveying the second object in a direction opposite the first conveying direction by a predefined distance, hereby arranging an equal distance between said first object and said second object in said space between said first conveyor and said second conveyor.
