Below is the image of a Bartleet Roll Wrapper, although we have limited information on this machine, we believe
that it is a Auto-wrapper R that has been re branded with the Bartleet name, our research has found that Bartleet
was a major importer and exporter and distributor of Packaging and Processing machines in the late 40s. The main
sheet has a print reference ( R.W.I 149 ) which we can assume stands for Roll Wrapper Instructions Jan 1949. Any
further information on this machine would be very helpful.

The
machines were designed to produce a round or square tube that consisted of
multiple products wrapped with foil or paper and then an added paper label wrapped around the outside,
the principle of the design is very similar to a pocket cigarette rolling machine from the same era, these
machines were to be the jewel in the crown for Auto Wrappers and contributed to the rapid growth of the
company,
they were used to wrap products like.... Polos, Rolos and Fruit gums.
