Abstract
A sheet of material is provided that is pre-folded and pre-glued for the wrapping and packaging of flower bunches and flower bouquets. The sheet of material contains a plurality of lines scored therein. The scored lines are arranged to create a pre-defined folding sequence that forms the desired floral packaging or wrapping. Visual indicia arranged to illustrate the pre-defined folding sequence and markings arranged to compliment the folded shape of the sheet are also provided. A fastening means is provided to secure the folded packaging. The sheet of material is made by scoring the sheet in particular places to mark the fold lines and to facilitate easy and consistent folding. The sheet is then folded across the scored lines and secured.

A pre-folded flower wrap comprising:
- a single folded rectangular sheet of material comprising a single layer and a plurality of scored intersecting lines, the plurality of scored intersecting lines defining distinct sections in the single sheet of material and a distinct folding sequence when moving the sheet of material from an unfolded position to a folded position comprising a pre-determined folded shape, the folding sequence comprising a first fold across a scored line that defines two of the distinct sections, the first fold overlapping the two distinct sections of the single sheet of material to create two layers from the single sheet of material and subsequent folds that position one layer as an inner wrap and one layer as an outer wrap, the outer wrap surrounding the inner wrap, and that form the single sheet of material into the pre-determined folded shape comprising an overlapping portion, a plurality of peaked sections comprising corners of the rectangular sheet and multiple layers of flower wrap that comprise two separate layers of flower wrap, the inner wrap layer and the outer wrap layer, each separately wrapped completely around a floral arrangement such that both layers surround the floral arrangement and the outer layer surrounds the inner layer, wherein the pre-determined folded shape further comprises the functionality of a flower sleeve to facilitate placement of the floral arrangement within the multiple layers of flower wrap without having to wrap either layer of flower wrap around the floral arrangement.
A pre-folded flower wrap comprising:
- a single folded sheet of material comprising:
- a plurality of scored intersecting lines, the plurality of intersecting lines defining distinct sections in the single sheet of material and a distinct folding sequence when moving the sheet of material from an unfolded position to a folded position;
- a first one of the distinct sections comprising a transparent area;
- and
- opaque marking filling a second one of the distinct sections of the single sheet of material to produce a selected appearance when the single sheet is in the folded position;
- wherein the folding sequence comprising a first fold across a line that defines the first and second distinct sections and that overlaps the transparent area and the opaque marking filled section to form two layers, a transparent outer wrap layer and an opaque inner wrap layer, from the single sheet of material and subsequent folds that to produce a pre-determined folded shape comprising an opaque inner wrap surrounding a floral arrangement and surrounded by a transparent outer wrap and of the opaque inner wrap and the transparent outer wrap each separately wrapped completely around the floral arrangement when the sheet is in the folded position.
