Abstract
A method for packaging bone-in meat products using a self-adhesive bone cover wrap includes impregnating a non-woven polypropylene layer with a wax formulation. Microcrystalline wax, propylene glycol, and paraffin wax are combined to create the wax formulation. The self-adhesive bone cover wrap is particularly suitable for covering bone-in meat products including covering outwardly extending bones with the non-woven polypropylene layer precluding puncture of the bone cover wrap by the bones and self-adhering to itself to seal the meat product within.

A self-adhesive bone cover wrap used for packaging bone-in meat products, comprising:
- a non-woven material layer impregnated with a wax formulation including microcrystalline wax in an amount up to 89% for the purpose of tackifying the wax formulation, polypropylene glycol in an amount up to 1% for the purpose of water dispersion and antimicrobial effects, and paraffin wax
- in an amount up to 10% for the purpose of reducing the viscosity of the wax formulation and water shielding effects,
- wherein all percentages are by weight relative to the total weight of the wax formulation.
