         8 . A plastic wrap kit according to  claim 1  wherein at least one of the flexible plastic film and the adhesive component comprises a colorant adapted to provide a visible color expression upon adhering the flexible plastic film to an article.  
     
     
         9 . A plastic wrap kit according to  claim 1  wherein the flexible plastic film and the adhesive component each individually comprise a color component which together are adapted to provide a color expression upon adhering the flexible plastic film to an article.  
     
     
         10 . A plastic wrap kit according to  claim 1  wherein the adhesive component further comprises an application guiding device.  
     
     
         11 . A plastic wrap kit according to  claim 1  wherein the adhesive component is in the form of a plurality of single use portions.  
     
     
         12 . A plastic wrap kit according to  claim 1  wherein the adhesive component is dispensable from a device selected from the group consisting of sticks, tubes, spray devices, bottles, pens, brushes, sponges and combinations thereof.  
     
     
         13 . A plastic wrap kit according to  claim 1  wherein the kit is a food storage wrap product and wherein the adhesive component is a food safe adhesive component.  
     
     
         14 . A plastic wrap kit according to  claim 13  wherein the flexible plastic film is arranged on a roll and wherein the food safe adhesive component is provided in stick form.  
     
     
         15 . A plastic wrap kit according to  claim 1  further comprising instructions for use of the kit, wherein the instructions comprise an illustrated nonverbal cue.  
     
     
         16 . A kit comprising: 
 (a) an adhesive component; and    (b) instructions for applying the adhesive component to a flexible plastic film or an article for adhering the flexible plastic film and the article upon contact therebetween.    
     
     
         17 . A plastic wrap kit comprising: 
 (a) a flexible plastic film; and    (b) instructions for applying an adhesive component to the flexible plastic film or an article for adhering the flexible plastic film and the article upon contact therebetween.    
     
     
         18 . A plastic wrap kit according to  claim 17  wherein the kit further comprises a container housing the flexible plastic film.  
     
     
         19 . A plastic wrap kit according to  claim 18  wherein the kit further comprises an adhesive component and wherein the flexible plastic film is arranged on a roll and the adhesive component is located on a surface of the container.  
     
     
         20 . A method for adhering an article with the plastic wrap kit of  claim 1 , comprising the steps of: 
 (a) coating an area of at least one of the article and the flexible plastic film with the adhesive component; and    (b) contacting the article with the flexible plastic film at the coated area to form an adherence between the flexible plastic film and the article.
