Question

Which of the following is not a type of overwrap?

(a) Decorative wrap

(b) Paper wrap

(c) Stretch wrap

(d) Shrink wrap

The question was posed to me in a job interview.

This intriguing question originated from Thermoplastic Polymers in chapter Thermoplastic Polymers Properties & Processing of Food Packaging Technology

Answer 1

The correct answer is (c) Stretch wrap

For explanation I would say: Stretch wrap is not a type of overwrap. An overwrap is also known as a polywrap.  Shrink wrap is a polymer plastic film, which shrinks on the application of heat. Paper wrap, like Kraft paper is used to overwrap items in a package or to overwrap a package. Decorative packaging is the quaternary packaging, which aims to enhance the looks of the good.
