The first wrapper comprises heater material that is heatable by penetration with a varying magnetic field. The first wrapper comprises an outer surface and an inner surface and the first wrapper is arranged so that two opposing strips of the outer surface are joined along ends of the first wrapper or the first wrapper is arranged so that two opposing strips of the inner surface are joined along ends of the first wrapper, so as to form a closed electrical circuit of the heater material. A method of and apparatus for manufacturing an article for use with an apparatus for heating aerosolizable material to volatilize at least one component of the aerosolisable material are also disclosed. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An article for use with an apparatus for heating aerosolizable material to volatilize at least one component of the aerosolizable material, the article comprising: a body of aerosolizable material; and a first wrapper around the body of aerosolizable material, wherein the first wrapper comprises heater material that is heatable by penetration with a varying magnetic field, the first wrapper comprising an outer surface and an inner surface and wherein the first wrapper is arranged so that two opposing strips of the outer surface are joined along ends of the first wrapper or the first wrapper is arranged so that two opposing strips of the inner surface are joined along ends of the first wrapper, so as to form a closed electrical circuit of the heater material. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The article according to claim 1, wherein the first wrapper comprises a layer of metallized foil which is the heater material. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The article according to claim 2, wherein the first wrapper comprises a layer of substrate material lined with the layer of metallized foil. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The article according to claim 1, wherein the first wrapper is folded so that two opposing strips of the inner surface contact each other at joined ends of the first wrapper and the inner surface is an inner surface of the layer of metallized foil. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The article according to claim 1, wherein the first wrapper is folded so that two opposing strips of the outer surface contact each other at joined ends of the first wrapper and the outer surface is an outer surface of the layer of metallized foil. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The article according to claim 1, wherein the joined ends of the first wrapper are folded about the body of aerosolizable material. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The article according to claim 1, further comprising a further wrapper wrapped around the first wrapper. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The article according to claim 7, wherein ends of the further wrapper are joined together by an adhesive or by a weld. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The article according to claim 7, wherein the further wrapper comprises paper. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The article according to claim 1, wherein the article is elongate. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The article according to claim 1, wherein the article is substantially cylindrical. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The article according to claim 1, wherein the aerosolizable material comprises at least one of tobacco or one or more humectants. ### Claim 13 A method of manufacturing an article for use with an apparatus for heating aerosolizable material to volatilize at least one component of the aerosolizable material, the method comprising: providing a body of aerosolizable material; providing a first wrapper around the body of aerosolizable material, wherein the first wrapper comprises heater material that is heatable by penetration with a varying magnetic field and the first wrapper comprises an outer surface and an inner surface; arranging the first wrapper so that two opposing strips of the outer surface contact each other along ends of the first wrapper or, arranging the first wrapper so that two opposing strips of the inner surface contact each other along ends of the first wrapper; and joining the two opposing strips so as to form a closed electrical circuit of the heater material. ### Claim 14 An apparatus for manufacturing an article for use with an apparatus for heating aerosolizable material to volatilize at least one component of the aerosolizable material, the apparatus for manufacturing the article configured to: provide a body of aerosolizable material; provide a first wrapper around the body of aerosolizable material, wherein the first wrapper comprises heater material that is heatable by penetration with a varying magnetic field and the first wrapper comprises an outer surface and an inner surface; arrange the first wrapper so that two opposing strips of the outer surface contact each other along ends of the first wrapper or, arranging the first wrapper so that two opposing strips of the inner surface contact each other along ends of the first wrapper; and join the two opposing strips so as to form a closed electrical circuit of the heater material. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) A system comprising: an apparatus for heating aerosolizable material to volatilize at least one component of the aerosolizable material; and the article according to claim 1.
