Abstract

The invention is a do-it-yourself baggage wrapping, protection, anti-tamper and anti-pilferage device. The all-in-one device consists of the stretch film, a dispenser able to draw, stretch and wrap film up to 12 inches in width, consisting of a stopper-ring secured at the very beginning of the extended core followed by a semi-compressible sleeve with embedded guide rings encircling core extension contoured guide-rings or an anti-clockwise coiled and freely rotating spiral-shape flexible sheet to let freely rotate same when film is being drawn off roll, thus followed by a second stopper-ring secured about one inch from the remote end of core extension. Both stopper-rings are dimensioned to prevent the sleeve from separating from the extension at any position or angle and total spacing between the two is greater than the total length of the sleeve to provide free rotation of latter.

2. A device according to claim 1 further comprising said device being recyclable.

3. A device according to claim 1 further comprising said sleeve being semi-compressible.
