Pre-perforated stretch film wrapping system and method

A pallet wrapping system comprising:

• a first spool comprising at least a first roll of stretch film and a second roll of stretch film;
• a second spool comprising a roll of perforated stretch film with a plurality of perforations extending through the perforated stretch film;
• a stretch film banding system configured to band at least one of a top edge and a bottom edge of the stretch film from each of the first roll and the second roll to form, respectively, a first banded stretch film and a second banded stretch film;
• and
• wherein the first banded stretch film and the second banded stretch film are configured to be layered onto the perforated stretch film to form a layered stretch film, wherein the first banded stretch film extends along the perforated stretch film spaced away from the second banded stretch film to form a gap therebetween, and wherein at least a portion of the plurality of perforations positioned in the gap are configured to expand into a plurality of voids extending through the layered stretch film when the layered stretch film is stretched.

• and
• a second banded stretch film having at least one banded edge and configured to be layered onto the perforated stretch film and spaced away from the first banded stretch film to form a gap therebetween;
• wherein the perforated stretch film, the first banded stretch film, and the second banded stretch film form a layered stretch film, and wherein at least a portion of the plurality of perforations positioned in the gap are configured to expand into a plurality of voids extending through the layered stretch film when the layered stretch film is stretched.
