Abstract:
1. A method of forming a tamper proof outer wrapping comprising: forming a first perforated portion and a second perforated portion in a wrapping material; affixing a tear tape to a first layer of said wrapping material so that said tear tape lies between an edge and said first perforated portion; forming the wrapping material into a tube such that a second layer of said wrapping material overlies the first layer, the tube having a length shorter than a length of a product package around which the outer wrapping is to be wrapped; and sealing said second layer of said wrapping material over said tear tape and said first layer to form a reinforced tear zone, wherein each of the first and second perforated portions extend along opposing sides of and run substantially parallel to the reinforced tear zone and wherein the top edge and the bottom edge of the outer wrapping are free ends.
