1. A stretchable multi-layer wrap for wrapping a metal coil, said wrap comprising:
- a first film having an inside cling surface;
a second film having an inside cling surface;
a plurality of ribs between the first film and the second film, the ribs including longitudinal ribs co-aligned with a longitudinal axis of the films and transverse ribs extending between and interconnecting the longitudinal ribs;
the first film, second film and ribs defining a wrap that is stretchable sufficient to wrap a metal coil;
the ribs having stretching properties that limit stretching of the wrap to enable unitisation of the metal coil to reduce its susceptibility to environmental conditions; and
the ribs being spaced apart to allow the inside cling surfaces of the first and second films to sufficiently engage to resist disengagement of the cling surfaces when the wrap is wrapped around the metal coil.

Abstract
A stretchable multi-layer wrap is provided. The wrap comprises a first film, which comprises an inside cling surface, a second film, which comprises an inside cling surface. The second film inside cling surface engages the first film inside cling surface. The wrap also comprises a plurality of longitudinal ribs that are co-aligned with a longitudinal axis of the wrap. The ribs are disposed between the engaged cling surfaces and spaced so as not to cause disengagement of the cling surfaces.

24. A metal coil wrapped in a stretchable multi-layer wrap, said wrap comprising:
-
a first film having an inside cling surface; a second film having an inside cling surface; a plurality of ribs between the first film and the second film, the ribs including longitudinal ribs co-aligned with a longitudinal axis of the films and transverse ribs extending between and interconnecting the longitudinal ribs the wrap being stretchable sufficient to wrap the feedstock material; the ribs having stretching properties that limit stretching of the wrap to enable unitisation of the feedstock material to reduce its susceptibility to environmental conditions; and the ribs being spaced apart to allow the inside cling surfaces of the first and second films to sufficiently engage to resist disengagement of the cling surfaces when the wrap is wrapped around the feedstock material. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)

46. A method of minimizing susceptibility of environmental conditions to metal coils, said method comprising:
-
wrapping the metal coil with a stretchable multi-layer wrap, said wrap having; a first film having an inside cling surface; a second film having an inside cling surface; a plurality of ribs between the first film and the second film, the ribs including longitudinal ribs co-aligned with a longitudinal axis of the films and transverse ribs extending between and interconnecting the longitudinal ribs; the wrap being stretchable sufficient to wrap the metal coil; the ribs having stretching properties that limit stretching of the wrap to enable unitisation of the metal coil to reduce its susceptibility to environmental conditions; and the ribs being spaced apart to allow the inside cling surfaces of the first and second films to sufficiently engage to resist disengagement of the cling surfaces when the wrap is wrapped around the metal coil. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68)
