Abstract
A gift card folder for securing a gift card is described. The gift card folder may be composed of a single sheet of substantially rectangular stationary which has a plurality of creases dividing the single sheet of stationary into panels of which two panels cooperate together to form a pop-up shelf upon manipulation of the gift card folder. A portion of the pop-up shelf comprises one or more slits to secure the gift card in a fixed position during opening or closing of the gift card folder. Further, the gift card folder may optionally include a flap that cooperates with an outer panel to secure the gift card folder in a closed position which compresses the pop-up shelf. When the recipient opens the folder, the gift card folder projects the pop-up shelf outward and towards the recipient of the gift card.
Claims21
A gift card folder comprising:
- a substrate with a plurality of creases or folding indicators for dividing the substrate into a plurality of panels;
- wherein the plurality of panels comprises at least a first panel, a second panel, a third panel and a fourth panel, and the second and third panels are configured to cooperate together to form a pop-up shelf when the substrate is folded in a specific configuration;
- wherein one or both of the second and/or third panels comprises two or more slits in a face of the panel configured to secure a gift card in a fixed position within the two or more slits during opening or closing of the gift card folder by way of the two or more slits together contacting three edges of the gift card.
A gift card folder comprising:
- a substrate with a plurality of panels and a plurality of creases or folding indicators;
- wherein two cooperating panels of the plurality of panels are capable of together forming a pop-up shelf upon folding of the substrate into a first configuration;
- wherein one or both of the two cooperating panels has a panel face with two or more slits capable of holding a gift card in a fixed position within the two or more slits in landscape or portrait orientation during opening or closing of the gift card folder by way of the two or more slits together contacting three edges of the gift card;
- and
- wherein, upon folding the substrate into a second configuration, two outermost panels of the plurality of panels, one of which is a flap, together cooperate to sandwich at least three panels of the plurality of panels therebetween, including the two cooperating panels of the pop-up shelf and an end panel in communication with one of the two cooperating panels of the pop-up shelf.
A gift card folder comprising:
- a substrate with first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth creases or folding indicators for dividing the substrate into first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh panels;
- wherein the first panel is disposed at one end of the substrate and is defined in part by the first crease or folding indicator;
- wherein the seventh panel comprises a tapered portion, is disposed at an opposing end of the substrate, and is defined in part by the sixth crease or folding indicator;
- and
- wherein the second panel and/or the third panel has a panel face with two or more slits dimensioned to hold a gift card in landscape or portrait orientation in a fixed position within the one or more slits during opening and closing of the gift card folder by way of the two or more slits together contacting three edges of the gift card.
