1. A pallet wrapping system comprising:
a support bar having a plurality of guides adjustably coupled to the support bar and configured to form a banded edge on stretch film as the stretch film passes through the plurality of guides, wherein the plurality of guides comprises a first set of guides and a second set of guides, the first set of guides configured to narrow a width of the stretch film to a first width, the second set of guides configured to narrow a width of the stretch film to a second width larger than the first width;
a first roll of stretch film positioned to pass stretch film to the first set of guides forming banded stretch film having first and second banded edges on the stretch film from the first roll; and
a second roll of stretch film positioned to receive the banded stretch film from the first set of guides, layer the banded stretch film onto unhanded stretch film from the second roll of stretch film to form an unhanded composite stretch film, and then pass the unhanded composite stretch film to the second set of guides 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.
