A bale wrapping device is described for a round baler. The bale wrapping device may include a supply reel for the wrapping material and a pressing device wherein the pressing device in an engagement position stands in engagement with the supply reel and for a standby position can be pivoted away from the supply reel, wherein the pressing device is connected at a contact point positioned on the pressing device to power means which generate via the contact point a controlling torque which acts on the pressing device. In order to facilitate the replacement of the supply reel and more particularly the pivoting of the pressing device out from an engagement position into a standby position, an adjusting means may be provided through which the contact point can be shifted and thus the controlling torque can be altered.
