How are stretch wraps applied?

Stretch wrap can be applied with a hand-held dispenser or by a stretch wrap machine. Wrapping machines have a turntable that spins the pallet while the roller dispenses the wrap onto the pallet. Machines have the ability to stretch the film to preset parameters to accomplish consistent tension and overlapping. Hand dispensers require an operator to bend and walk around the pallet while the film unravels from the dispenser.
