It is therefore the purpose of the present invention to provide a wrapper having a tab associated therewith andwhich tab is of such character as to be readily detectable at all times, either by sight, where the visibility is suflicient, or by feel, where the visibility is not suilicient for sight detection. In carrying out the invention a wrapper blank is fabricated preferably, al-
though not necessarily, of a single thin blank of sh eet material and the tabs are formed integrally vention is not so limited.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the as applied to such a package; and
Figure 2 is a plan view of the blank from which the wrapper is formed.

The edges of the package are covered by the margins l4 and I5 of the blank, each of these margins being folded along the dotted lines shown when the wrapper is being applied. It will be understood that the wrapper blank is not and need not be, prescored along grasped that a substantial pull may be exerted the dotted lines shown and that it is only (11- thereon to effect tearing, without possibility of vided into panels during the folding operation. slippage. The panel I6 is last applied in the covering of It is apparent that the embossed tabs may be the ends and sides of the package and, when applied to the marginal edges of wrappers other 5 finally positioned, overlaps the panel Hi to apthan the type of wrapper illustrated in the drawproximately the extent indicated by the dotted ing. lines II in Figures 1 and 2. Projecting from the Having thus described the invention, what is edge of the panel it are one or more tabs l8, claimed as new and desired to be secured by 10 being integral with panel It.
