What did rap mean in 1970?

I found these folders (think pee chees) among a pile of school supplies. The references “rap” are there in a hippie style (and… is that John Wayne) from 1970. Presumably wrap is referring to folder, and rap is describing the type/type/design of the folder. Today, to me, rap is a type of music, but this link suggests rap started in 1973. What did rap mean in 1970?

What do you think of the ‘delete’ of a quote like this?

Rap: talk informally, chat,” 1929, popularized c. 1965 in African-American vernacular, possibly first in Caribbean English and from British slang meaning “say, utter” (1879). When you want to perform rap music then you
