Abstract
A roll of folded wrapping material such as a packaging or gift material and methods of use thereof. The roll is constructed of a folded length of sheet material wrapped about an inner core or tube. The length of the core used to form the roll of folded wrapping material can therefore be reduced to about half of the length of a core of a standard roll of wrapping material thereby reducing the amount of shelf space needed to store the roll.
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 11/147,103, now abandoned. The entire contents of the above-referenced patent application is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference.
- Not applicable.
- The present invention relates to packages of sheet material formed into rolls, and methods of use thereof. In the field of gift wrap sheet material, a great variety of patterns, colors, finishes, and sizes of packages must be produced. In the marketing of such sheet material, it has been found that consumers often prefer relatively small amounts of any one type of gift wrap sheet material. Accordingly, it is often not practical for the manufacturer to package large quantities of one type of gift wrap sheet material for retail sale.
- However, for the manufacturer, and ultimately for the consumer, the practice of providing a separate stiff core for each roll of a relatively short length of sheet material is expensive and not in the spirit of conservation. Each roll of gift wrap material generally has a low cost, but requires a large volume of shelf space for display and storage for a relatively minor amount of sheet material. This results in a relatively high “shelf space to cost” ratio, which greatly reduces the profit margin on each item. In fact, the shelf space for each roll of gift wrap is primarily consumed by the core, rather than by the relatively small amount of gift wrap material which is wrapped about the core.
- It would therefore be desirable for the consumer, manufacturer and retail seller to have a roll of gift wrap material which took up less space than currently on the market items and which also reduced the eventual wastage of the core.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a roll of folded wrapping material of the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a transverse cross-sectional view of the roll of folded wrapping material ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the roll of folded wrapping material ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the roll of folded wrapping material of the present invention. -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an apparatus for making the roll of folded wrapping material of the present invention. - Currently, rolls of wrapping material are sold as a long unfolded web of material which is taken up on a cylindrical tube or core. For example, if the web of material has a width of 30 inches, the length of material when wrapped about the core also has a width of 30 inches. Conversely, in the present invention, as described in more detail below, the web of material is in one embodiment doubled over (folded in half lengthwise) before being taken up on the core, thereby providing a length of folded material on the roll. For example, if the original web of material has a width of 30 inches, the length of folded material on the roll will have a width of about 15 inches. The length of the core upon which the folded material is rolled can therefore be reduced to about half of the length of a core of a standard roll of wrapping material thereby reducing the amount of shelf space needed to store the roll and greatly benefitting the consumer, manufacturer, retailer, and the environment by reducing land fill needs.
- The present invention therefore is a roll of folded wrapping material and a method of use thereof for wrapping gift items or other items. Where used herein, the term “gift item” may include potted plants of floral groupings such as bouquets or cut flowers.
- Referring now to the drawings, shown in
FIGS. 1-4 and referred to therein by thegeneral reference numeral 10 is a roll of folded wrapping material. The roll of foldedwrapping material 10 is constructed of cylindrical inner core 12 (a tube) and a length of a foldedsheet material 14 which is wrapped concentrically about theinner core 12. The foldedsheet material 14 preferably is non-tubular (but may be a folded tubular material). Theinner core 12 has alength 16 and the foldedsheet material 14 has awidth 18 which preferably is less than or equal to thelength 16 of theinner core 12. The roll of foldedwrapping material 10 preferably comprises a plurality of foldedlayers 20, each foldedlayer 20 having afold line 22 which comprises a closed lengthwise side of the foldedlayer 20. Parallel to and opposite of thefold line 22 of the foldedlayer 20 is an openlengthwise side 24. The foldedlayer 20 therefore does not comprise a closed tube (although the wrapping material used to form the foldedsheet material 14 may be constructed of a tubular material). Foldlines 22 of adjacent foldedlayers 20 may be disposed directly upon one another, as shown inFIG. 3 . Alternatively, the fold lines of adjacent folded layers may be slightly offset relative to one another. For example, shown inFIG. 4 is a roll of folded wrappingmaterial 10 a having aninner core 12 a which has a length of foldedsheet material 14 a concentrically wrapped thereabout to form a plurality of foldedlayers 20 a, each having afold line 22 a. Eachfold line 22 a is slightly offset relative to the position of thefold line 22 a of the foldedlayer 20 a adjacent thereto in this embodiment of the invention. - The
inner core sheet material - The roll of folded wrapping

material FIG. 5 . Anapparatus 30 comprises amechanism 32 for supporting a roll ofmaterial 34. A single web ofmaterial 36 from the roll ofmaterial 34 is fed by a drive mechanism (not shown) throughrollers 38 to afolding assembly 40 such as an A-frame which causes the web ofmaterial 36 to be doubled over to form a foldedweb 42. The foldedweb 42 is then advanced bydrive rollers 44 or other advancing mechanism where it is taken up onto theinner core mandrel 46. After an amount of the foldedweb 42 is taken up on theinner core web 42 is cut and the resulting roll of foldedwrapping material FIGS. 1-4 is removed from themandrel 46 for further packaging. Although the web ofmaterial 36 is shown inFIG. 5 as being folded in only one position lengthwise, in an alternative embodiment the web ofmaterial 36 may be folded over in two lengthwise positions to form a folded web which is folded in “thirds” rather than merely “doubled-over”. In another embodiment, the foldedweb 42 may be folded again to form a folded web which is folded over in “fourths” before being taken up on theinner core - In use, a portion (not shown) of the folded
