Abstract

See full text

A package (1) comprises a container enveloped in a wrapper (80) The wrapper (80) comprises a film (81) with overlapping portions which are sealed together. The wrapper (80) further comprises a tear strip (82) extending at least partially around the container and having an end tab. The wrapper is configured such that pulling the tab causes a tear to propagate through the film and the tear strip to come away from the container and the entire film to come away from the container attached to the tear strip. The tear strip (82) is defined by two reinforcing tear tapes (83a, 83b) on either side of the tear strip. Each tear tape (83a, 83b) has a respective first remote end (84a, 84b) at the tab, and the two tear tapes extend from the tab and diverge away from each other at least partially around the container such that the width of the tear strip enlarges around at least a part of the perimeter of the container. The tear tapes (83a, 83b) have respective second remote ends (86a, 86b) which are spaced from each other and spaced from the tab.
