Wrap

A pass of rope around the body or around columns; wraps laid side by side form the bands that make up cuffs and harnesses.

Anatomie Studio defines wraps simply as rope going around the body or around columns; a wrap can be one part of a complex tie held by frictions, or stand on its own as a single-column or double-column tie. Shibari Study’s glossary uses band for rope placed across the body and notes that a band usually consists of two or more adjacent ropes, since bondage rope is often used doubled. It also describes dressing, in which the tier uses the fingers so that wraps sit evenly, without twists and with even tension.
