Abstract
Provided is a printer for a wrapping material making it possible to record time data such as the date and time when an article was wrapped on the surface of the wrapping material for wrapping the article. This printer includes a wrapping material storing section for storing a wrap film, which is a wrapping material for wrapping an article. There is a clock for measuring time to generate time data, and an output for recording the time data on the surface of the wrap film. When the wrap film is discharged from the wrapping material storing section, the output records the time data on the surface of the wrap film. Therefore, on the wrap film with which the article such as food is wrapped, the time data, for example, the date and time when this food was wrapped are recorded. Thus, a user can check accurately the date and time the wrapping occured.
