Abstract: In one embodiment, a wrapping material for wrapping around an agricultural product to form a bale, including a continuous web of material including a plurality of wrapping units, each wrapping unit having a first surface and an opposing second surface, and extending lengthwise from a leading end to a tail end, the tail end of each wrapping unit terminating at the leading end of an adjacent wrapping unit. Each wrapping unit includes a nontacky portion extending lengthwise from the leading end of the wrapping unit, and having a length greater than a circumference of the bale, and a tacky portion extending lengthwise from the nontacky portion to the tail end of the wrapping unit, and having a length greater than the circumference of the bale.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method of wrapping, including applying a leading end of a wrapping unit to a perimeter of an object to be wrapped, the wrapping unit having a length between the leading end and a trailing end and including a reduced risk material portion extending from the leading end towards the trailing end; applying the reduced risk material portion along at least a portion of the perimeter of the object; and applying a polymeric portion of the wrapping unit, the polymeric portion extending from the reduced risk material, along at least a portion of the perimeter of the object such that the reduced risk material portion and the polymeric portion together extend at least one complete revolution around the object.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a wrapping material for wrapping around an agricultural product to form a bale includes a wrapping unit extending from a leading end to a trailing end. The wrapping unit includes a reduced risk material portion extending a distance along the wrapping unit from the leading end.

Abstract: The present invention inter alia discloses an environmentally friendly, and optionally either edible or allowed to be in contact with food, baling materials, methods of its production and use, and a baler utilizing environmentally friendly binding materials for baling. The invention defines the baling materials in both chemical and physical manners. The present invention further discloses means and method for protecting the environment.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes various methods of wrapping an item, such as harvested agricultural material, including steps such as unrolling a wrapping material portion from a roll of wrapping material portions, the unrolling starting at a leading end of the wrapping material portion and continuing along a length of the portion towards a trailing end of the portion, each wrapping material portion including a base film, a first adhesive substrate including a bottom adhesive surface attached to a first side of the base film of the wrapping material portion adjacent to the perforation, an outwardly facing first adhesive surface covered by a first release liner with a second adhesive surface facing outwardly and attached to a second side of the base film of the wrapping material portion when on the roll, and further unrolling the wrapping material portion from the roll of wrapping material portions such that the first release liner separates from the first adhesive surface, the first release liner remaining at

Abstract: A bale wrapping system includes an emitter configured to generate electromagnetic radiation within an emitted spectrum and a wrap. The wrap includes a melt layer containing an additive absorbent to at least some electromagnetic radiation within the emitted spectrum and a solid layer substantially free of the additive.
