Embodiment Construction

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, shown in FIG. 1, a tear tape applicator unit 10 and 20 is attached to either the wind-up 30 or unwind end 40 of a rewinding line 50. The applicator comprises, in part, a number of festoon or dancer rolls 60 that move up and down, pulling the web of ream wrap or other packaging material and momentarily stopping it while the wind-up and unwind roll speeds remain constant. When the web is momentarily stopped, the applicator then cuts and applies a strip of tear tape at 1 to 10 places across the web of the ream wrap or other packaging material.

[0037]FIG. 2 shows a system 90 for applying tear tape comprising a tear tape applicator assembly 100, a laser / tear tape unwind assembly 110, Stanford winder 120, a rewind roll 130 and an unwind roll 140.

[0038]FIG. 3 illustrates a system 200 which comprises a laser 202 with a laser beam 204 and a beam focal length 206. The system further comprises a tear tape roll 208, rider roll 210, tear tape r...
