Disclosed are packaged fibrous material bales and methods for packaging fibrous materials such as cellulose acetate tow bales. The packaged fibrous material bale may comprise a compressed fibrous material enclosed in packaging. The packaging may comprise an upper sheet and a lower sheet comprising a tab. After the residual forces in the packaged bale have equilibrated following pressing, greater than 99% of the surface area of the bale is enclosed by the packaging.

Packaged fibrous material bales comprising lower sheet

Disclosed are cellulose acetate tows, bales, and filter rods having from greater than 9 to less than 12.5 denier per filament and from 20,000 to 40,000 total denier, for use in smoking devices, including aerosol-generating devices such as an electrically heated cigarette.

Medium dpf and total denier cellulose acetate tow

Disclosed are methods for packaging fibrous materials such as cellulose acetate tow bales. The method may comprise placed a fibrous material between an upper sheet and a lower sheet, folding the upper and lower sheets around the fibrous material, and connecting the upper sheet and lower sheet with a tape, such as a pressure sensitive adhesive tape.
