Clean, tight wraps in 60 seconds.
EWrapper rolls your used hand wraps back into a tight, professional-looking cylinder. About a minute per wrap, instead of three by hand — and a tidier finish that doesn't tangle in your kit bag.
Three steps, every time.
After training, unwrap as normal. Then:
Hook the thumb loop
Drop the wrap's thumb loop over the spool. That's the only setup — no threading, no tension to dial in.
Close the lid
A magnet pulls the lid shut. A small switch confirms it's closed before the motor can run — wraps can't escape mid-roll.
Switch on and guide
Flick the switch and lightly guide the wrap with one hand so it doesn't fold over itself. About 60 seconds later, press the spring-loaded ejector and a clean, tight cylinder pops out.
Tidy wraps. Less faff.
How it's put together.
- 1Magnet — pulls the lid closed so wraps can't escape mid-roll.
- 2Lid — opens to load the thumb loop, closes magnetically to start.
- 3Motor & spool — winds the wrap at consistent tension.
- 4Lid-closed switch — the motor only runs when the lid is shut.
- 5Spring-loaded ejector — press and the rolled cylinder pops free.
- 6Battery compartment — removable 9V battery behind a dedicated door.
Prototypes in the wild.
EWrapper vs rolling by hand.
| Aspect | EWrapper | Rolling by hand |
|---|---|---|
| Time per wrap | ~1 minute | ~3 minutes |
| Finish | Clean, tight cylinder | Often lumpy, depends on patience |
| Tightness | Consistent — motor sets tension | Varies wrap to wrap |
| Effort | Hook + close + flick + guide | Manual technique each time |
| Cost | £29 (one-off) | Free |
EWrapper wins when you train often enough that two minutes of post-session rolling per pair adds up — and when a tidy kit bag matters. Hand-rolling wins when you only train occasionally and don't mind a lumpy bundle.
Quick answers about EWrapper.
- What does EWrapper actually do?
- It rolls a used hand wrap back into a tight, professional-looking cylinder for storage between sessions. It does not put the wrap onto your hand — wrapping is still done by hand. EWrapper handles the messy job afterwards.
- How long does it take?
- About 60 seconds per wrap. By hand it takes roughly three minutes.
- How is it operated?
- Hook the wrap's thumb loop on the spool, close the magnetic lid, flick the switch, and lightly guide the wrap so it doesn't fold over itself. When it's done, the spring-loaded ejector pops the cylinder out.
- What sports is it for?
- Boxing, Muay Thai, and MMA — any sport with a standard combat-sports hand wrap that has a thumb loop.
- How is it powered?
- A removable 9V battery, accessed through a dedicated door at the back. No charging cables, no proprietary battery.
- How much does it cost?
- £29 GBP. Currently out of stock; sign up via the notify-me form below for back-in-stock alerts.
- Where does EWrapper ship from?
- United Kingdom. International orders are accepted; email contact@ewanwills.co.uk for shipping quotes outside the UK.
- Is it machine-washable?
- No. The wraps themselves are washable; the EWrapper is a 3D-printed unit with internal mechanisms — wipe it down between sessions.
