a first roll of stretch film positioned to pass the stretch film to the at least a first guide forming banded stretch film having at least a first banded edge on the stretch film from the first roll; and
a second roll of stretch film positioned to receive the banded stretch film from the at least a first guide, layer the banded stretch film onto unbanded stretch film from the second roll of stretch film with the at least a first banded edge overlapping the unbanded stretch film to form an unbanded composite stretch film, and then pass the unbanded composite stretch film to the at least a second guide to form a banded composite stretch film having a banded first ply with a width equal to the first width and a banded second ply with a width equal to the second width.
