2137162 9324373 PCTABS00028 A dispenser apparatus comprised of a stretchable adhesive tape (30) which is detackified when stretched longitudinally. The tape is advanced through a stretching station (40) to an array of articles to be unitized (24). Tension rollers (45, 46, 47) are utilized on either side of the stretching station to ensure that the tape advances evenly and does not recoil. The dispenser apparatus also includes a first prime mover (48b) which advances the tape through the tension rollers and stretching station at a rate which ensures proper stretching (at predetermined intervals) and proper feeding of the tape to the array of boxed items. A controller simultaneously controls the z-axis motion of the dispenser and rotation of the articles to be unitized. Therefore, both the number of wraps about the articles and the location of the wraps between the base of the articles and the top of the articles may be controlled.
