A wrapping arrangement for an agricultural round baler includes a support frame and a wrapping mechanism including at least one wrap material feeding means mounted on the support frame. The at least one wrap material feeding means includes a supply of wrap material. At least one wrap material clamp and cutting device is operably mounted to the at least one wrap material feeding means, and a clamp mechanism is mounted proximate to the at least one wrap material clamp and cutting device. The clamp mechanism is adapted to clamp a free end of the wrap material by a biasing clamping force for pre-positioning the wrap material for functional operation with the wrapping mechanism.
