Leo: Streifband = Banderole
\"Die Banderole umschließt die Fachzeitschrift und wird auf der Rückseite zusammen geklebt.\" For picture see:
http://www.gwv-media.de/sa-banderole.htm
i.e. for magazines and newspapers, not books.
Printed matter means paper on which words, letters, characters, or figures (except bills, account statements, or actual personal correspondence) have been reproduced by any process other than handwriting or typewriting. This classification includes regular printed matter, books and sheet music, and publishers\' periodicals.

wrapper-packed newspapers

Explanation:
Highest confidence because this is the official English term used by DP AG for its Streifbandversand items. Bit of a tautology - if something's wrapped, it's packed and vice versa - but I worked there for a number of years and it's standard usage. Of course not 100% sure whether this is what you need.
HTH anyway

Andrew - it was NOT a Kudozer who did it. DP AG has its own Sprachendienst, which I worked for for a number of years, and they produced the company\'s entire web presence. It is \'official\' in the sense that Germany\'s primary postal provider uses this term, and my confidence level was set at 100% because this is what they, and the RegTP uses, for this German term, and NOT because I was oh-so-sure that this was right for Kathryn, as I indicated in my response.

Yes, that\'s why I immediately said that I wasn\'t sure what relevance this will have to Kathryn\'s text. At least the website will tell her what the product is (and pseudo-English it is, you\'re not wrong mate)
