Provided herein is a combination folding gift box-sheet wrap combination that includes measured, pre-scored, indicia-bearing wrapping dimensionally corresponding to the companion gift box where the sheet wrap permits repeatable and consistent wrapping and even when including non-repeating design element.
Claims9
A combination gift box and sheet wrap comprising:
- a box container, having an upper section, said upper section being formed by a generally planar upper panel of selected width and length bordered by depending side walls of a select length defining the depth of the gift box, said box having a lower section being formed by a generally planar lower panel of selected width and length bordered by ascending side walls of a select length corresponding to the select length of said dependant side walls and adapted to nest within the upper section upon assembly;
- a generally rectangular, flat sheet of wrapping material for wrapping said box container, said wrapping material having an operational surface adapted to confront the box container, an obverse decorative surface and an perimeter defined by a first, second, third, and fourth edges, said first and third edges being spaced apart by a distance equal to the length of the second and fourth edges where said first and third edges are parallel to one another and second and fourth edges are parallel to one another, respectively;
- said operational surface of said flat sheet having printed thereon gift box alignment indicia, a first and second longitudinally disposed marked fold lines disposed interiorly of the first and third edge by a distance corresponding to the dependant side walls of the box container, a third and fourth laterally disposed marked fold lines disposed perpendicularly relative to the first and second fold lines where the operational surface bordered by the first, second, third, and fourth fold lines dimensionally conforms planar upper panel of the box container,
- said operational surface further including fifth and sixth marked fold lines, spaced parallel to and respectively spaced from said third and fourth fold lines by a distance corresponding to the length of the dependant side walls of the box container,
- said operational surface further including at least one selectively positioned and activatable sealing adhesive member disposed proximate to third edge between said first and second fold lines, and at least one selectively positioned activatable sealing adhesive member being disposed proximate to each of the first and second edges between said third and fourth fold lines,
- said operational surface including printed step-by-step instructions thereon at selected locations so that the instruction for the next step remains visible to the user until the wrapping is completed.
