Abstract
An endcap for simultaneously dispensing and hemming film from a roll while an operator is wrapping a load. An endcap is inserted into each end of a roll of film and an operator manually dispenses the film. The endcap includes an insert, a base, and a flange that hems the film. The flange is angled outwardly from the base of the endcap and overlaps an end portion of the roll so that when the film is dispensed, the edges of the film are hemmed.
