Method of making product wraps, a leaf from which to fashion a wrap obtainable by the method, and a strip from which to obtain the leaf

Abstract

Confectionery products () are packaged singly in double twist wraps () prepared from a strip () coated with first longitudinal bands () and second transverse bands () of adhesive, the transverse bands spaced apart to create adhesive-free zones () offered in direct contact to the products (), and caused to advance along a set path (P) in a given feed direction (D). The strip is prepared with an easy tear point (A) on each second adhesive band (), consisting of a first notch () extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the strip () and a second notch () superimposed on the first notch (); the strip () is then cut transversely along the second bands () to generate single leaves (), each presenting an indentation () and a projection () generated by the second notch (). The leaf () is folded around the product () to produce a hermetically sealed wrap () designed to tear open from the notches.
