A multi-segment roll package comprises a continuous length of plastic tape [117] wound about a core [105] resulting in a spooled roll segment [109] and two intermediate roll segments [303A, 303B] sandwiched between two end roll segments [107A, 107B]. A tape guide winds one or more spiral windings [113] at an end position on the core. The tape guide traverses axially at a transition pitch greater than the tape width to the intermediate roll segment and winds one or more spiral windings [110]. The tape guide traverses axially at a transition pitch to the beginning of the spooled roll segment position and wraps a layer of overlapping windings to the end of the spooled roll segment. The tape guide traverses axially to wrap a second intermediate winding and a second end winding. The tape guide reverses axial direction and the process is repeated to build a roll package. The end roll segments provide stability to the ends of the roll package and allow larger diameter roll packages as compared to conventional spooled rolls.
