Abstract
An apparatus and method for packaging a roll of web material with a packaging material includes a wrapping station that has a roller drive. A packaging strip dispenser has a packaging material delivery device. A position of the packaging strip delivery device is adjustable so that an acute angle is defined between a longitudinal axis of the packaging material being dispensed by the packaging material delivery device and a circumferential direction of the roll of web material. The circumferential direction is a direction that is tangent to a circumferential surface of the roll and is parallel to an axial end of the roll. The packaging material is axially movable with respect to the roll of web material. A first strip of the packaging material is placed against the roll so that a longitudinal axis of the first strip of packaging material is disposed at an acute angle with respect to the circumferential direction of the roll of web material. The first strip of packaging material is helically wrapped around the roll of web material.
