Claim 18:
19. A method for securing a palletized load comprising a top section, a bottom section, and a middle section therebetween, the method comprising the steps of:
dispensing a first stretch film having a first upper lateral side edge and a first lower lateral side edge from a first stretch film roll;
dispensing a second stretch film having a second upper lateral side edge and a second lower lateral side edge from a second stretch film roll;
partially overlapping the first stretch film and the second stretch film to form a combined stretch film;
passing the combined stretch film through a pre-stretcher;
wrapping the combined stretch film around the palletized load; and
varying a tension under which the combined stretch film is wrapped along a height of the palletized load as the combined stretch film is being wrapped around the palletized load, wherein the first stretch film is inserted substantially vertically over a first support member and the second stretch film is inserted substantially vertically over a second support member.
