Automated Stretch Wrapping for Large Format Print, Paper Rolls & Textiles
Secure massive industrial paper spools, delicate plotting paper, vinyl, banner media, wallpaper, and heavy textiles. Eliminate edge-crushing and prevent core telescoping with continuous-flow orbital packaging cells engineered to prevent damage to the print. Our specialized orbital wrappers utilize gentle roller beds and V-roller supports to ensure even longitudinal tension without the need for vertical rotation. Featuring hybrid PE bagging for moisture defense, native ERP and WMS connectivity (via OPC UA, MQTT, and EtherNet/IP) for real-time predictive maintenance diagnostics, automated PLC handshakes, and custom printed film integration.

The Damage Bottleneck: Edge-Crushing & Telescoping
Large format print rolls and narrow media rolls are heavy but delicate. Using standard vertical pallet wrappers often leads to the rolls being tipped on their ends, which instantly crushes the paper edges. Furthermore, improper horizontal tension causes "telescoping," where the inner layers slide out longitudinally, deforming the cardboard core during transit.
The Solution: Perfect longitudinal containment. The Dynawrap Pro 1100 and Dynawrap Joy 1550 solve this by rotating the film around the roll while the roll stays supported horizontally on gentle roller beds. Providing controlled film tension for delicate materials, the machine applies even, adjustable wrapping force across the entire length of the spool. This locks the outer layers of the media tightly against the core, entirely preventing telescoping and edge crushing.
The Environmental Bottleneck: Humidity & Moisture
Paper and raw corrugated materials act like sponges. A single humid LTL trailer ride or a dock staging error can warp plotting paper or ruin the adhesive backing on premium large-format vinyl wraps.
The Solution: The W-Series Hybrid Welding Option (available on the Dynawrap Joy 1550W as well as all Pro Series machines). Equipped with a Constant Tensioning System (CTS) to maintain consistent film tension on delicate rolls, this automated system features integrated bag draping and sealing. It automatically applies a waterproof PE bag before the stretch film, creating an absolute vapor barrier that safeguards your product from humidity, rain, and dirty warehouse environments.
The Sizing Bottleneck: Massive Industrial Spools
Print shops and paper converting facilities don't just ship small 54" or 64" plotting rolls. They distribute massive jumbo media rolls and 98" to 126" industrial master spools that weigh thousands of pounds and feature cross-sections that simply will not fit through standard wrapping equipment. (Note: For paper converters also producing folded flat-packs, our orbital wrappers for Corrugated Boxes & Folded Cartons eliminate the edge damage caused by plastic strapping.)
The Solution: Extreme capacity and heavy iron. With orbital ring sizes ranging from compact 15 inches up to massive 85.4-inch (2170mm) internal ring clearances, the Dynawrap Pro 2200 offers the clearance required to easily process oversized industrial spools. Utilizing dual film carriages (two rolls) and a pre-stretch carriage, these systems drastically reduce changeovers and lower film usage. Driven by flexible enterprise PLC architectures (Beijer, Siemens, Allen-Bradley, and Beckhoff), the machine connects via EtherNet/IP or native OPC UA servers to execute direct string-based data exchanges with your WMS. This allows seamless processing of custom roll orders while MQTT telemetry streams real-time predictive maintenance diagnostics directly to your cloud, ensuring the machine withstands multi-ton payloads in continuous production environments.
Enterprise Automation: Dynawrap LUMI™ 3D Algorithmic Vision
Achieve true recipe-free autonomy for mixed-roll production lines. Available as an option across the Pro Series, the LUMI™ System utilizes an Intel® depth-sensing 3D camera and a dedicated embedded controller.
Volumetric Scanning
As paper rolls of varying diameters enter the zone, the system executes real-time 3D scanning to determine the exact geometry.
Automated PLC Handshake
Our proprietary algorithm automatically calculates and pushes the optimal wrapping parameters directly to the machine's PLC.
Zero-Touch Operation
Operators simply select 'Optimum' or 'Heavy' protection modes on the HMI, and the machine handles the rest - preventing operator error and crushed edges.
Industry 4.0 Ready: Robotic Cell Integration
Engineered for absolute end-of-line autonomy. Our wrappers serve as plug-and-play nodes for highly automated paper converting facilities, supporting direct handshakes with FANUC, ABB, and KUKA robots.
Native SCADA Protocols
Seamless communication via EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA, and MQTT for centralized ERP/WMS data exchange and telemetry logging.
Automated Handshakes
Standardized execution I/O (Ready, Start, Busy, Complete, Fault) allowing upstream robots to safely load and trigger wrapping cycles.
Predictive Maintenance
Stream real-time VFD faults, motor speeds, heater temperatures, and cycle counts directly to command centers to eliminate unplanned downtime.
EHS Perimeter Safety
CIP Safety and PROFIsafe network integration, paired with hardwired optical light curtains for zero-touch, fail-safe operational security.
Print Industry Consumables Ecosystem
For large format print and paper rolls, barcode readability and pristine presentation are critical. Our premium Cast Clear Machine Stretch Film provides exceptional clarity, ensuring internal SKUs and shipping labels can be scanned instantly through multiple layers of film.
To elevate your brand presence in distribution centers and print shops, we highly recommend our Custom Printed (Logo) Stretch Film. Printing your corporate logo or handling instructions directly onto the stretch wrap turns massive, blank paper spools into highly visible, branded assets while simultaneously acting as a tamper-evident seal.
Technical FAQ: Large Format Print & Paper Roll Wrapping
How does the orbital wrapping process prevent edge-crushing and core deformation when packaging large format print rolls and vinyl media?
Unlike standard pallet wrappers that stand rolls on end, the orbital system keeps the media horizontally supported on gentle V-roller beds. The rotating ring applies tightly controlled, even longitudinal tension across the entire spool, securing the outer layers to the cardboard core without exerting the localized pressure that crushes delicate paper edges.
What mechanisms are in place to prevent 'telescoping' on heavy industrial paper spools during long-haul transit?
Telescoping occurs when inner layers slide out longitudinally. The Dynawrap Pro Series utilizes a Constant Tensioning System (CTS) paired with dual film carriages. This setup binds the layers together with consistent, 360-degree containment force along the full length of the roll, locking the media tightly in place so it cannot shift laterally off the core.
Can the automated cell protect moisture-sensitive plotting paper and adhesive-backed vinyl from high warehouse humidity?
Yes, by integrating the W-Series Hybrid Welding Option. Before the stretch film is applied, this inline system automatically drapes and thermally seals a waterproof PE bag around the roll. This creates a true, continuous vapor barrier that completely shields moisture-sensitive paper and vinyl from humidity, rain, and dirty staging environments.
How does the equipment interface with automated paper converting lines to handle massive 126-inch master spools?
For oversized industrial media, we deploy extreme-capacity wrappers like the Pro 2200, featuring massive 85.4-inch ring clearances. Operating on enterprise PLCs (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Beckhoff), these cells connect natively via EtherNet/IP or OPC UA. This allows direct string-based WMS handshakes for automated recipe changes, while MQTT telemetry streams real-time predictive diagnostics to ensure continuous uptime.
