An elongated, strip-like film bandage, includes a plastics film (1), which on its one side is coated with a skin-friendly adhesive (2), a protective layer (3) detachably fixed to the adhesive coating, and a stiffening layer (4), which is detachably fixed to the plastics film on the opposite side to the adhesive coating. The bandage is bellows-folded into a stack such that the bandage is divided into a number of parts (6-15) stacked one on top of the other, and three such parts of the bandage, which are mutually adjacent, are connected to one another on two opposite sides of the stack.
