Package employing a packaging film with a releasable tab and method for wrapping an article with the packaging film.

摘要

The packaging film (11) has its wrapping terminal end (15) formed with a protuberant tearing tab (16), and a severing tape (13) is bonded to the inner surface of the film for extending from the distal end (21) of the tearing tab along the entire length of the film along the article wrapping direction. The severing tape has a width inferior to the width of the tearing tab and is formed of a material having heat shrinkage percentage lower than that of the film. The tearing tab has its distal end reduced in width for reducing the allowance for heat fusion. For reducing the allowance for heat fusion, the distal end of the tearing tab is semi-circular in contour. The distal end of the severing tape substantially in registration with the center sealing region of the film is designed as a non-fusing region to facilitate the exfoliation of the severing tape.
