A multi-segment roll package comprises a continuous length of plastic tape [117] wound about a core [105] resulting in a spooled roll segment [109] sandwiched between two end roll segments [107A, 107B]. A tape guide winds one or more spiral windings [113] at an end position on the core. The tape guide traverses axially at a transition pitch greater than the tape width to the beginning of the spooled roll segment position and wraps a layer of overlapping windings to the end of the spooled roll segment. The tape guide traverses axially to the second end position and wraps one or more spiral windings at the second end position. The tape guide reverses axial direction and the process is repeated to build a roll package. The end roll segments provide stability to the ends of the roll package and allow larger diameter roll packages as compared to conventional spooled rolls.
