Method and apparatus for providing a wrapper for a floral grouping having a flap for closing the upper end or the lower end of the wrapper

A method for wrapping a floral grouping comprising:

• providing a sheet of material having an upper surface and a lower surface with a closure bonding material on at least one of the upper and the lower surfaces thereof;
• providing a floral grouping having a stem end and a bloom end;
• disposing the floral grouping on the upper surface of the sheet of material;
• wrapping the sheet of material about the floral grouping and disposing the closure bonding material adjacent a portion of the sheet of material whereby the closure bonding material bondingly engages and bondingly connects to the adjacent portion of the sheet of material for cooperating to secure the sheet of material wrapped about the floral grouping providing a wrapper for the floral grouping with an open upper end and an open lower end;
• providing a top flap having a first end and a second end;
• connecting the first end of the flap to a portion of the wrapper near the open upper end thereof and folding the flap over the open upper end of the wrapper and connecting the second end of the top flap to another portion of the wrapper near the open upper end thereof for cooperating to secure the top flap in a position extending over the open upper end of the wrapper to substantially prevent the floral grouping from shifting in the wrapper and extending out from the open upper end of the wrapper.

• wrapping the sheet of material about the floral grouping and disposing the closure bonding material adjacent a portion of the sheet of material whereby the closure bonding material bondingly engages and bondingly connects to the adjacent portion of the sheet of material for cooperating to secure the sheet of material wrapped about the floral grouping providing a wrapper for the floral grouping with an open upper end and an open lower end;
• providing a top flap having a first end and a second end with a flap bonding material disposed on the top flap;
• connecting the first end of the top flap to a portion of the wrapper near the open upper end of the wrapper by disposing at least a portion of the flap bonding material on the top flap adjacent the portion of the wrapper and bondingly connecting the first end of the top flap to the wrapper;
• folding the flap over the open upper end of the wrapper to a position wherein a portion of the flap bonding material near the second end of the top flap is disposed adjacent another portion of the wrapper and bondingly connects the second end of the top flap to the wrapper for cooperating to secure the top flap in a position extending over the open upper end of the wrapper to substantially prevent the floral grouping from shifting in the wrapper and extending out from the open upper end of the wrapper.

A method for wrapping a floral grouping comprising:

• providing a sheet of material having an upper surface and a lower surface with a closure bonding material on at least one of the upper and the lower surfaces thereof, a top flap being formed on a portion of the sheet of material with a top flap extending a distance from the sheet of material terminating with an end of the top flap, a top flap bonding material being disposed on a portion of the top flap;
• providing a floral grouping having stem end and a bloom end;
• disposing the floral grouping on the upper surface of the sheet of material;
• wrapping the sheet of material about the floral grouping and disposing the closure bonding material adjacent a portion of the sheet of material whereby the closure bonding material bondingly engages and bondingly connects the adjacent portions of the sheet of material for cooperating to secure the sheet of material wrapped about the floral grouping providing a wrapper for the floral grouping with an open upper end and an open lower end, the top flap portion of the sheet of material extending a distance from the open upper end of the wrapper:
• and
• folding the top flap over the open upper end of the wrapper and securing the end of the top flap to the wrapper for cooperating to secure the top flap in a position extending over the open upper end of the wrapper to substantially prevent the floral grouping from shifting in the wrapper and extending out from the open upper end of the wrapper.

A method for wrapping a floral grouping comprising:
