Abstract

A package comprising a central tube, a product wound around the central tube and a perforated film having tube holes prepunched into the film is disclosed. This perforated prepunched tube hole film allows for substantially all of the product exposed surface to be covered by the perforated film but leaves the central tube ends uncovered.
