Abstract

A method and apparatus for providing corners of a load (110) with cornerboards (152) prior to wrapping the load is provided. The method may include providing a load on a load transport surface, removing a cornerboard from within a magazine (150) by a gripper (170), and transporting the cornerboard to a corner of the load with the gripper. Relative rotation may be provided between the stretch wrap packaging material dispenser and the load to wrap the stretch wrap packaging material around the cornerboard and the load. If the cornerboard is not pre-formed, it is folded prior to transport to the load. The cornerboard is secured to the corner of the load with the stretch wrap packaging material. In a preferred embodiment, four magazines and four grippers are provided, such that four cornerboards can be carried to the load at the same time.
