Abstract
A stretch film wrapping device includes a frame supporting at least one flexible hollow handgrip. An end of a core of a roll of stretch film is inserted into the hand grip, so that braking force on the film may be regulated by squeezing the hand grip as film is applied to an array of articles. The device also supports at least one reel of auxiliary narrow band material on an axis different from that of the stretch film roll, so that the band material and the stretch film may be simultaneously applied.
