Spots of colored adhesive or cohesive may provide all, or part of, the surface decoration of the sheet of material.
  • the bonding material used in strips and spots of bonding material defined herein may be any one or more of those where the pressure sensitive adhesive or cohesive permits an adhesive connection and releasable connection between sheets of material 18. Such adhesives and cohesives are known in the art and commercially available.
  • the deposition of bonding material on each sheet of material 18 bondingly and releasably connects each sheet of material 18 to one other sheet of material 18 to form the pad 38 whereby one of the sheets of material 18 can be releasably disconnected from another sheet of material 18 by pulling the sheets of material 18 apart.
  • the bonding material further imparts sufficient adhesion or bonding to permit the sheet of material 18 to wrap and encompass the food item 12, by bondingly or adhesively connecting one portion of the sheet of material 18 to itself.
  • the bonding material affixed to the lower surface 22 of the sheet of material 18 is in the form of strips of bonding material 44, as shown in Figures 1-4, with one strip of bonding material 44 near the first side 26 of the sheet of material 18 and extending a distance between the third side 30 and the fourth side 32 of the sheet of material 18,and with an additional strip of bonding material 44 near the third side 30 of the sheet of material 18, extending a distance between the first side 26 and the second side 28 of the sheet of material 18.
