Wraps

Wraps are items or methods that enclose or cover something with a layer. The term is used in several contexts, including food, clothing, and packaging. In each case, a wrap serves to enclose, protect, or hold content or form.

In cuisine, wraps refer to flatbread or dough wrapped around a filling. Common bases include tortillas, lavash, or other flatbreads. Typical fillings include meats, beans, vegetables, and sauces. Wraps can be served hot or cold and are often rolled or folded to enclose the filling. They are popular for portability and quick meals and vary by region, with examples such as the tortilla wrap, burrito, shawarma wrap, or kathi roll.

In clothing and fashion, wraps are garments or accessories made by draping fabric around the body. They include shawls, scarves, stoles, and wrap dresses or skirts. Materials range from wool and cashmere to cotton and silk. Wrapping styles vary culturally and seasonally, serving purposes of warmth, modesty, or ceremonial wear.

In packaging, wraps refer to films or sheets used to cover and protect products. Materials include plastic films, foil, or paper wraps. Uses include food protection, shipping, and presentation. Environmental concerns and recycling considerations influence the choice of wrap material.
