Abstract
A flower shipping and arranging container comprising a planer flexible card having defined therein a number of apertures for receiving flower stems there through.

Claims12
A method of packaging flowers including:
- (a) die cutting a card stock to produce a plurality of planar flexible cards of desired shape,
- (b) die cutting apertures in each of the flexible cards to receive flower stems there through,
- (c) placing flower stems of flowers through apertures in a flexible card of the plurality of flexible cards with flower bloom mounted adjacent a front surface of the flexible card and the stems adjacent a back surface of the flexible card.
- (d) wrapping sheet material around the flexible card under tension, such that the flexible card is concavely bowed thereby forming and maintaining a protective hollow pocket for housing the flower blooms between the sheet material and the front surface of the concavely bowed flexible card.
