Abstract
A stretch film supply roll used in stretch wrapping palletized loads includes a plurality of lengths of stretch film wound into a roll form and joined to one another using a plurality of lap seals that forms a continuous web of stretch film on the roll form. Such a stretch film supply roll may be useful, for example, in reuse applications where stretch film is reused multiple times to wrap different loads. In some instances, the lengths of stretch film may have been used to previously wrap different loads, and in some instances, the lengths of stretch film may have differing characteristics such as materials and/or thicknesses.
Claims26
A stretch film supply roll, comprising:
- a plurality of lengths of stretch film wound into a roll form;
- and
- a plurality of lap seals joining together adjacent lengths of stretch film from the plurality of lengths of stretch film to form a continuous web of stretch film on the roll form.
A stretch film supply roll, comprising:
- a plurality of lengths of stretch film wound into a roll form, each of the plurality of lengths of stretch film collected from a respective load of a plurality of loads, and at least two of the plurality of lengths of stretch film having different thicknesses and/or formed of different film material;
- and
- a plurality of lap seals joining together adjacent lengths of stretch film from the plurality of lengths of stretch film to form a continuous web of stretch film on the roll form.
A stretch film supply roll, comprising:
- a plurality of lengths of stretch film wound into a roll form;
- and
- a plurality of lap seals joining together adjacent lengths of stretch film from the plurality of lengths of stretch film to form a continuous web of stretch film on the roll form;
- wherein for a first lap seal of the plurality of lap seals, adherence of the first lap seal to a first length of stretch film among the plurality of lengths of stretch film that is at least partially overlapped by the first lap seal is reduced.
