DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a wrapping material 1 according to the present disclosure. This wrapping material can be used, for example, for the packaging of ready-to-eat processed foodstuffs such as fast-food foodstuffs. The wrapping material 1 according to the present disclosure according to the embodiment depicted in FIG. 1 comprises a wrapping paper 2, the outer side 12 of which faces the observer. This wrapping paper 2 has a first edge 14 and an opposite second edge 16 as well as mutually opposite first and second side edges 18 and 20. These extend in the depicted embodiment from the first to the second edge 14 or 16. The first edge 14 and the second edge 16 constitute the narrow sides in the depicted embodiment of the wrapping material 1 according to the present disclosure.

[0033] The wrapping material 1 according to the present disclosure furthermore includes a material strip 22 present on the outer side of the wrapping paper 2 in the form of a sleeve in any case completely printed on the outer side. This sleeve has a first end 24 and an opposite second end 26 as well as a first side edge 34 and an opposite side edge 36. The material strip or the sleeve 22 accordingly extends with its first end 24 from the first edge 14 of the wrapping paper 2 up to the second edge 16. The second edge 16 of the wrapping paper 2 is in this case expediently congruent with the second end 26 of the material strip 22.

[0034] The wrapping paper furthermore has a crease line 28 extending from the first side edge 18 up to the second side edge 20. This crease line 28 divides the wrapping paper 2 into a smaller first section 40 and a larger second section 42. In the embodiment depicted in FIG. 1, this crease line has been applied to the inner side 10 lying opposite the outer side 12. In FIG. 1, one looks at the outer side 12 of the wrapping material. Accordingly, the material strip or the sleeve 22 is present glued to the outer side 12 of the wrapping paper 2 in the depicted embodiment. It has proven expedient to attach the material strip or the sleeve 22 centered between the first and the second side edge 18, 20. The width of the material strip 22 is regularly less than the shortest distance between the first and the second side edge 18, 20, in some cases significantly less than this shortest distance.

[0035] FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of a wrapping material 1 according to the present disclosure, likewise in a plan view on the outer side 12 thereof. In contrast to the wrapping material of FIG. 1, the sleeve 22 is not printed in the section 32, which is located at the first end 24 thereof, while the remaining outer-side part of the sleeve is present printed. The crease line 28 is again present applied to the inner side. FIG. 3 shows a plan view on the inner side of the wrapping material 1 according to FIG. 2. In this embodiment, the packaged goods are regularly placed on this inner side adjacent to the crease line 28 on the larger second section 42 in order to wrap it with the wrapping material 1 and to package it. In the embodiment according to FIG. 3, the adhesive strip 38 is likewise depicted, with which the sleeve 22 is attached to the outer side 12 of the wrapping paper 2.

[0036] FIG. 4 shows the wrapping material 1 according to FIGS. 2 and 3 in an embodiment in which it is present in pre-folded form due to the crease line 28 applied to the inner side or into which it can be easily transferred due to this crease line. The packaged goods will be placed on the inner side due to the different size of the first and second sections 40, 42 on the larger section 42, namely for the purpose of bringing about an effective wrapping adjacent to the crease line 28. In this mode of operation, the shorter section 40 containing the unprinted section 32 in the sleeve 22 will be wrapped by the longer or larger section 42 and thus remains hidden. An immaculate design is thus always obtained.

[0037] FIG. 5 shows a schematic side view of a first embodiment of a stack of wrapping materials according to the present disclosure, as it can be present for example in a carton for transport or for removal at the place of use. The individual wrapping materials are already present in the stack pre-folded along the crease line 28. Hereby, the outer side of the longer section 42 lies on the outer side of the shorter section 40. The wrapping materials are arranged in this case such that all shorter sections 40 are congruent. Of course, it is likewise possible to insert the stack depicted in FIG. 5 rotated by 180? into a carton, so that the shorter section 40 always comes to lie below the longer section 42 of the same wrapping material sheet.

[0038] FIG. 6 shows a further embodiment of a stack of wrapping materials according to the present disclosure in schematic side view. In contrast to the stack according to FIG. 5, the individual wrapping materials are arranged alternately with respect to the orientation of the shorter section 40 present folded. Both when using the stack according to FIG. 5 and when using the stack according to FIG. 6, a support surface for the packaged goods is immediately presented during removal by a user by means of gripping the shorter first section 40 over the larger second section 42. This significantly facilitates the flawless packaging process.
