Paper wrapping materials and method for a highly compressed product

Paper wrapping materials to securely wrap a rolled-up High Expansion Force product comprising:

• a kraft paper layer encircling a circumference of the product, a leading end of the kraft paper layer adhered to a tail end of the product by a first hotmelt adhesive located between facing surfaces of the leading end of the kraft paper layer and the tail end of the product;
• a tail end of the kraft paper layer adhered to a middle portion of the kraft paper layer with a second hotmelt adhesive located between facing surfaces of the tail end of the kraft paper layer and the middle portion of the kraft paper layer to thereby secure the kraft paper layer encircling the circumference of the product;
• wherein the kraft paper layer has:
• (i) a Basis Weight from about 68 pounds per 3000 feet squared to about 84 pounds per 3000 feet squared, (ii) a Tensile Strength (MD) from about 55 pounds per inch to about 70 pounds per inch, (iii) a Stretch (MD) from about 7% to about 11%, (iv) a TEA (MD) from about 28 foot-pounds per foot squared to about 37 foot-pounds per foot squared, (v) a Tear (CD) from about 170 grams to about 205 grams, and (vi) a fiber content that comprises at least 70% virgin fibers;
• and,
• wherein the second hotmelt adhesive comprises between about 15% and about 25% thermoplastic elastomer.
