Abstract

See full text

A wrapper (10) comprising a film (11) having a reinforcing tear strip (12) extending at least partially across the film. The tear strip (12) includes an incision (17). No lines of weakening are provided in the tear strip to assist the tearing thereof other than the incision (17). The wrapper is configured such that, when a first portion of the tear strip (12) on one side of the incision (17) is pulled away from a second portion of the tear strip (12) on the other side of the incision, a tear will propagate from the incision along the length of the tear strip (12) and through the film (11) so that the tear strip and film separate into two portions (11a, 11b) with a first portion (11a) of the film attached to the first tear strip portion, and a remaining, second portion (11b) of the film attached to the second tear strip portion.
