Abstract
An elongate article, such as a bundle B of individual elements A with or without an immediate wrapper, is wrapped by forming thereon a winding 20 composed of a strip of wrapping material, and laying on the article a tear member 15 which extends along substantially the entire length of the article and has an end portion thereof exposed. By pulling the exposed end portion of the tear member away from, and along the length of, the article, the wrapping may be disrupted without the use of cutting tools or the like which may damage the wrapped article.
