Abstract
A method of wrapping a floral grouping, preferably an orchid, with a wrapper which may be a sheet of material, a sleeve or a preformed pot cover. The wrapper is preferably constructed from a laminated material made up of at least a waxy layer and a support layer which are superposed upon each other and connected or laminated to each other. A second waxy layer may be connected or laminated to the other surface of the support surface. The waxy layer is made from a waxy material such as waxed paper, waxed tissue or high density polyethylene. The wrapped floral grouping may also contain a shredded material for cushioning the blooms of the floral grouping.
Claims24
A method of wrapping a floral grouping and comprising:
- providing a floral grouping comprising a bloom portion;
- providing a flexible preformed tubular sleeve having an outer surface, an inner surface, an upper end, a lower end and an inner space into which the floral grouping is disposable and which is accessible through the upper end, the sleeve constructed from a material comprising a waxy layer and a support layer, the waxy layer superposed upon a surface of the support layer and connected thereto and forming the inner surface of the sleeve, and wherein the waxy layer is constructed from a separate sheet of a waxy material, and wherein the sleeve, when wrapped about the floral grouping, is less compressible about the floral grouping than would be a sleeve formed from a sheet of the waxy material alone;
- and
- opening the sleeve and placing the floral grouping within the inner space of the sleeve such that the waxy layer is positioned adjacent the bloom portion of the floral grouping forming a wrapped floral grouping.
A method of wrapping a floral grouping and comprising:
- providing a floral grouping comprising a bloom portion;
- providing a flexible preformed tubular sleeve having an outer surface, an inner surface, an upper end, a lower end and an inner space surrounded by the inner surface and into which the floral grouping is disposable and which is accessible through the upper end, the sleeve constructed from a material comprising a first waxy layer, a second waxy layer and a support layer, the first waxy layer superposed upon and connected to a first surface of the support layer and the second waxy layer superposed upon and connected to a second surface of the support layer and forming the inner surface of the sleeve, and wherein each waxy layer is constructed from a separate sheet of waxy material, and wherein the sleeve, when wrapped about the floral grouping, is less compressible about the floral grouping than would be a sleeve formed from a sheet of the waxy material alone;
- and
- opening the sleeve and placing the floral grouping within the inner space of the sleeve such that the second waxy layer is positioned adjacent the bloom portion so as to substantially encompass the bloom portion of the floral grouping forming a wrapped floral grouping.
