Abstract
A single piece non-wrinkling wrapper for bars of soap is made from a lamina of sheets of a flexible plastic film and a water absorbent paper. The film and paper are superimposed and bonded together along their margins by bands of adhesive. The exposed surface of the paper sheet is coated with a cold seal cohesive along the margins in register with the adhesive bands. When wrapped around a bar of soap, the cohesive and adhesive fall in the back seal and end seal areas of the soap, thereby double wrapping the bar with the film and paper sheets and with an air space between the sheets which prevents or minimizes the wrinkling of the outer wrap. The wrappers may be made on a continuous basis from a wide web of film and paper that are bonded together along a grid-like pattern by means of bands of adhesive. The web is severed along the midpoints of the adhesive to form the individual wrappers.
