Abstract

An apparatus for stretching a plastic film around a package is disclosed wherein two handles are secured to the core of the plastic film, one handle effectively extending the core and having a braking cover for dispensing speed control. The other handle includes a U-shaped member to provide a second grip parallel to, but displaced from the axial centerline of the core. The plastic film is configured between the two handles for rotation about the centerline axis of its core.
