Abstract: A wrap-bag (1000, 1100, 100, 101, 601, 708, 742, 877, 1200, 1300) includes a bag body (1006, 1310, 119, 119??, 618, 724, 756, 876) defining therein a compartment (384) accessible through an opening (379, 616, 722) at one end of the bag body, and, secured to the bag body along one edge thereof and extending therefrom to a free distal end (1003), a flexible strap (1009, 1005, 109, 125, 609, 709, 706, 889, 1312) of width sufficient to span at least a majority of the compartment (384). The strap carries an array of fastener elements (102), each fastener element (102) having a stem extending integrally from a band of resin film extending across the strap and encapsulating surface features of the strap to form an inseparable laminate. The strap is of sufficient length to wrap about an object, with the strap overlapping the bag body to engage the exposed fibers of the bag with the fastener elements (102), to secure the wrap-bag to the object.
