Wrapper (philately)

In philately a wrapper is a form of postal stationery^[1] which pays the cost of the delivery of a newspaper or a periodical. The wrapper is a sheet of paper, large enough to wrap around a folded or rolled newspaper and with an imprinted stamp to pay the cost of postage. Some catalogs and reference books refer to a wrapper as postal bands which comes from the French term bandes postale.^[2] Still others refer to it as a newspaper wrapper^[3] or periodical wrapper.
