Abstract
A packaging wrapper having a stretchable net-like wrapper member conforming to a hollow, substantially sheath-like configuration having an article receiving opening bounded by an edge of the member to which is secured an elastic cord for yieldably contracting the edge circumferentially in such a way that the wrapper is adapted to be placed about and resiliently grip an article to be packaged. One disclosed embodiment is a cap-like cover for an article container, such as a produce box. Another disclosed embodiment has a tubular configuration with open ends for receiving an article, such as a produce article, to be packaged, and an elastic cord secured to at least one open end of the member for contracting the end about the article.
