Claim:
An apparatus for securing a palletized load, the apparatus comprising: a first roll of stretch film supported by a first spool support member; at least two second rolls of stretch film positionally coupled to a common spool core such that the at least two second rolls of stretch film unroll at substantially the same rate, the common spool core being supported by a second spool support member; at least two sets of guides positioned adjacent to the second spool support member, each set of guides having a guide width less than a width of each of the at least two second rolls, each of the at least two second rolls of stretch film positioned to pass through a different set of the at least two sets of guides; wherein two portions of a first path of the stretch film from the first roll of stretch film to a load to be secured are overlapped by two second paths of the stretch film from the at least two second rolls of stretch film to the load to be secured after the stretch film from the at least two second rolls of stretch film pass through the at least two sets of guides such that the stretch film from the at least two second rolls of stretch film is applied to the load simultaneous with the stretch film from the first roll of stretch film.
