Abstract
In a continuous roll of wrapping material for crops such as cotton or hay, or other objects, the individual wrapping segments are arranged so that a closing adhesive is part of a sealing accessory and otherwise protected by other structures of the sealing accessory until the point when this closing adhesive is to be exposed for securing a wrapping segment to itself, for example when encircling a subject bale harvested from a field, wherein adjacent wrapping segments separate from each other either at a point of weakness associated with perforations and the like.
