A sample was provided to this office and will be retained for training purposes. The sample, SKU# 420-48MC, described as a “Wrap-It™ Storage Strap,” is a hook and loop self-gripping strap designed and intended to be used to organize cords. The “hook” side of the strap is made up of 100 percent polypropylene. The reverse side is made up from 100 percent nylon woven pile fabric. The two fabrics are glued together and cut to shape to form the strap. The item is rectangular in shape with a rounded edge on one end which is threaded through the circular slotted head on the other end to secure the cords. The straps are imported in a 20 piece pack of assorted colors with 10 straps measuring 4 inches in length by 1/2 inch in width and 10 straps measuring 8 inches in length by 3/4 inch in width. The strap also features a printed “Wrap-It™ Storage” logo on the “hook” side.
