Abstract
Segmented wrapping materials and related methods. In some embodiments, a plurality of individual segments of a film or other wrapping material may be placed on a single roll or core and each opposing edge of each segment of such roll/core may be folded or otherwise reinforced to improve the strength of the film and thereby improve containment of a pallet or other items being wrapped with the material.
Claims20
A method for wrapping, the method comprising the steps of:
- positioning a plurality of elongated wrapping material segments of a wrapping material formed into a roll having a hollow central axis on a single core such that each of the plurality of wrapping material segments extends along the single core with the single core extending through the hollow central axis of each of the plurality of wrapping material segments, wherein each of the plurality of wrapping material segments comprises reinforced edges at both of two opposing ends of each of the plurality of wrapping material segments;
- and
- extending wrapping material from each of the plurality of wrapping material segments about a perimeter of one or more objects.
A method for wrapping a pallet of objects, the method comprising the steps of:
- wrapping a first roll segment comprising a rolled wrapping material about a full perimeter of the pallet of objects, wherein the first roll segment comprises a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge, and wherein both the first edge and the second edge of the first roll segment comprise reinforced edge segments comprising at least two layers of wrapping material;
- and
- wrapping a second roll segment comprising a rolled wrapping material about the full perimeter of the pallet of objects, wherein the second roll segment comprises a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge, and wherein both the first edge and the second edge of the second roll segment comprise reinforced edge segments comprising at least two layers of wrapping material.
A roll of wrapping material, comprising:
- an elongated core;
- and
- a plurality of roll segments, wherein each of the plurality of roll segments comprises a hollow center, wherein the elongated core extends through each of the plurality of roll segments, and wherein each of the plurality of roll segments comprises a first reinforced edge at a first end of the roll segment and a second reinforced edge at a second end of the roll segment opposite the first end.
