Abstract
A paper or plastic band for a product, such as a newspaper, comprises a single integral strip with the inner faces of the two end portions of the strip being joined such that the strip forms a loop with the joined end portions forming a tag projecting outwardly from the loop. In another embodiment, the tag is folded over to lie flat against the loop and is joined in this position in order to reinforce the joint between the two end portions.
