Abstract: The wrapper includes a roll of stretch-tape on a central core, in its basic form, with a single end extension. A cap is secured at the remote end of the extension, and an incompressible sheath encircles the extension to freely rotate when the wrapper is used with tape being drawn from off the roll. The cap is dimensioned to prevent the sheath from separating from the extension, and is grasped by the heel of the hand of the user to prevent rotation of the extension when the tape is stretched, to be broken from the roll. Because the cap is of greater dimension than the sheath, the wrapper can be hand-held and operated at any angle as the circumstances of use dictate.In a second version, a pair of end extensions can be employed, making the use two-handed instead of one-handed, with the same type of braking action being provided by the caps being grasped by the heels of the hands of the user at either end preventing rotation of the stretch-tape roll.
