Unlike fruit labels where the limited space is tightly filled with design elements, many fruit wrapper designs are mostly composed of blank space on the tissue paper backing - the design itself occupies not much more than about ten or twelve percent of the total area. To show the blank spaces too would increase considerably the size of the image files and consequently the downloading times. Most of the images have therefore been cropped to remove the blank spaces.

More than 170 small images (average size: 10.4 Kbytes) totalling about 1.75 MBytes are displayed on this page. In order to reduce the downloading time the images shown are all quite small. Click on an image to display a much larger version (average size: 158 KBytes) which will be downloaded individually. The time required might exceed 15 seconds.

There are several other fruit wrapper web-sites. Here are a few ....
