Abstract
An outer wrapper for a container which opens along an oblique parting line. The outer wrapper includes a tear tape having a pattern such that each segment of the parting line has an aligned tear tape segment. The tear tape thus tears the outer wrapper along the parting line to facilitate opening the container without interference from the remnants of the outer wrapper which may remain adhered to the container.
