Abstract

Abstract The invention concerns a tube-pouch wrap comprising a fin 2 within which two strip edges 3 of the wrapping material are joined together at their inner sides by a peelable cold seal, the junction area including one sub-section 4 at each end of the two edge strips 3 and an unsealed middle zone 5 being present between said subsections. An adhesive label 6 is folded about the fin edge 8 to connect the two edge strips 3 of the fin to close the wrap hermetically and to serve as an opening accessory, said adhesive label covering the middle zone 5 and overlapping the two sub-sections of the fin 2 by bonding to the fin surface. At one side of the fin, the adhesive label 6 comprises a strip edge 11 forming a grip 12 unbonded to the fin surface. Advantageously the fin 2 is so folded on the wrap envelope 13 and bonded to it that the grip 12 is uppermost.
