The article has been operatively connected in facing relation with a wrap member (), and the article has been folded about a first, laterally extending supplemental-fold-region (). The article and a corresponding section of the wrap member have been folded about a second, laterally extending supplemental-fold-region (). A preliminary-folded article () and a corresponding, preliminary-folded wrap member have been provided after the article has been folded about both the first and second supplemental-fold-regions. The preliminary-folded article and wrap member have also been folded along a laterally extending, composite-fold-region () of both the preliminary-folded article and wrap member, to provide a composite-folded, wrapped article ().
