Title: Floral wrapper

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to wrapping material for wrapping plants and floral arrangements. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Wrappings for plants and floral arrangements use one or more sheets of paper and/or films. These sheets usually take the form of square or rectangular sheets, which are folded about the plants/floral arrangements. Depending on the desired look, multiple sheets/films can be combined to provide an intricate decorative appearance. Typically, the more intricate the appearance, the more materials and folds are required. This can result in an increase in material and labor costs to complete. Additionally, the sheets generally lack guides or indications showing how to fold the sheets, making it difficult for both manufacturers and/or end-users to achieve a consistent finished product. Thus, there exists a need for an improved floral wrapper. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     In an embodiment, a floral wrapper according to the disclosure comprises a protective outer sheet having a perimeter; and a decorative inner sheet affixed to the protective outer sheet, with the decorative inner sheet only covering an upper portion of the protective outer sheet. The protective outer sheet comprises a first outer section, a second outer section, and a center section interposed between the first outer section and the section outer section. The perimeter is defined by at least three sides of the first outer section, at least three sides of the center section, and at least three sides of the second outer section. 
     The floral wrapper can be affixed across the first outer section, the center section, and/or the second outer section. A bonding element can be used to affix the outer surface of the first outer section to the inner surface of the second outer section. In this regard, an outer surface of the first outer section can include a first bonding element and an inner surface of the second outer section can include a second bonding element so that the first bonding element and the second bonding element affix the outer surface of the first outer section to the inner surface of the second outer section. 
     An outer surface of the protective outer sheet can include a design to enhance the visual appearance of the floral wrapper. In order to facilitate the forming of the floral wrapper in some embodiments, a first folding guide separates the first outer section and the center section and a second folding guide separates the center section and the second outer section. The first outer section is foldable along the first folding guide to at least partially cover the center section and the second outer section is foldable along the second folding guide to at least partially cover the center section and the first outer section. The first and second folding guides can comprise visual indicia on the protective sheet. The first and second folding guides can each include a crease on the protective sheet. 
     A floral wrapper system according to the disclosure comprises a plurality of floral wrappers removable bounded together. In some embodiments, each of the plurality of floral wrappers comprises a header portion with each of the plurality of floral wrappers separable from a corresponding header portion. 
     In another embodiment, a floral wrapper according to the disclosure comprises a first sheet with a portion removed to form a side and a second sheet with a portion removed to form a side. The first and second sheets are affixed to each other with the first and second sheets partially overlapping each other and with the formed side of the first sheet and the formed side of the second sheet aligned along a line. 
     In some embodiments, the floral wrapper includes a third sheet with a portion removed to form a side. The third sheet is affixed to the first and second sheets so that the first, second, and third sheets partially overlap each other and with the formed side of the first sheet. The formed side of the second sheet and the formed side of the third sheet are aligned along a line. 
     In another embodiment, a floral wrapper according to the disclosure comprises: a first sheet having a substantially rectangular or square shape with a corner removed to create a first sheet fifth side; a second sheet having a substantially rectangular or square shape with a corner removed to create a second sheet fifth side; and a third sheet having a substantially rectangular or square shape with a corner removed to create a third sheet fifth side. The first, second, and third sheets are affixed to each other with the first, second, and third sheets partially overlapping each other and with the fifth side of the first sheet, the fifth side of the second sheet and the fifth side of the third sheet aligned along a straight line. 
     A raffia can be used for securing the floral wrapper wrapped around a floral arrangement. 
     In an exemplary embodiment, the first sheet is substantially square and each of the second and third sheets is substantially rectangular. The first, second, and third sheets are affixed to each other with the first sheet between the second and third sheets and with the second sheet positioned on the first sheet and the third sheet positioned on the second sheet. The second and third sheets can be mirror images of each other. 
     In another exemplary embodiment, each of the first and second sheets is substantially square, and the third sheet is substantially rectangular. The first, second, and third sheets are affixed to each other with the third sheet between the first and second sheets and with the second sheet positioned on the first sheet and the third sheet positioned on the second sheet.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention provides a plant/floral arrangement wrapping system. The wrapping system can include a combination of protective sheets and decorative sheets. The protective sheets can include one or more sheets of, for example, craft paper, affixed together with a bonding element. The present invention contemplates the use of a material other than craft paper for the protective sheets. Other suitable materials include plastic, cardboard, fabrics, etc. The protective sheet can be unlaminated, laminated, or partially laminated. 
     The decorative sheets can include one or more sheets of, for example, finewrap affixed to the protective sheets with a bonding element. The present invention contemplates the use of a material other than craft paper for the decorative sheet. Other suitable materials include woven or non-woven materials, paper, plastic films, etc. The finewrap can be of unitary appearance, or in the alternative, can include decorative colors and/or designs. 
     Referring now to the drawing figures in which like reference designators refer to like elements, there is shown in  FIGS. 1-6 , a first embodiment of a plant/floral arrangement wrapping system  10  of the present invention. The wrapping system  10  includes a first sheet  12 , which in an exemplary embodiment is substantially square in shape, having sides  14 , each with a length X. In other embodiments, first sheet  12  is substantially rectangular in shape. A first corner C 1  is removed from the sheet  12  along a line  16 , where the opposite ends of line  16  are a distance X 1  from corner C 1 . In this configuration the line  16  forms a sheet edge substantially perpendicular to a diagonal axis  18  of the first sheet  12 . The removed sheet material can be recycled, repurposed, or discarded. As used herein, the removal of first corner C 1  (or of any of the other corners described below) includes simple folding to give the appearance that first corner C 1  has been physically separated from the rest of first sheet  12 . 
     As described above, first sheet  12  is substantially square in shape in one embodiment and substantially rectangular in shape in another embodiment. It should be noted however, that first sheet  12 , as well as any of the other sheets described below, can be other shapes as long as a portion of the sheet can be removed to form a side. Non-limiting examples of other possible shapes include triangular, oval, and circular. 
     The wrapping system  10  of the present invention includes a second sheet  20 , which in an exemplary embodiment is substantially rectangular in shape, having opposing sides  22 , each with a length Y, and opposing sides  24 , each with a width Z. In other embodiments, second sheet  20  is substantially square in shape. A first corner C 2  is removed from the sheet  20  along a line  26 , where the opposite ends of the line  26  are a distance Y 1  along a side  22  from corner C 2 , and a distance Z 1  along a side  24  from corner C 2 . In this configuration the line  26  forms a sheet edge at an angle α to a diagonal axis  28  of the second sheet  20 . In an exemplary embodiment, Y-Y 1  is substantially equal to Z. The removed sheet material can be recycled, repurposed, or discarded. 
     The wrapping system  10  of the present invention includes a third sheet  30 , where the third sheet  30  is a mirror image of the second sheet  20 . The third sheet  30  is substantially rectangular in shape, having opposing sides  32 , each with a length Y, and opposing sides  34 , each with a width Z. In other embodiments, third sheet  30  is substantially square in shape. A first corner C 2  is removed from the sheet  30  along a line  36 , where the opposite ends of the line  36  are a distance Y 1  along a side  32  from corner C 2 , and a distance Z 1  along a side  34  from corner C 2 . In this configuration the line  36  forms a sheet edge at an angle β to a diagonal axis  38  of the second sheet  30 . In an exemplary embodiment, Y-Y 1  is substantially equal to Z. The removed sheet material can be recycled, repurposed, or discarded. 
     The wrapping system  10  is formed by combining the first  12 , second  20 , and third  30  sheets. The first sheet  12  is placed on flat surface, where the sheet edge formed by line  16  is aligned with a base plane  40 . The second sheet  20  is positioned on the first sheet  12 , where the sheet edge formed by line  26  is aligned with base plane  40 . The third sheet  30  is positioned on the first sheet  12 , partially overlapping the second sheet  20 , where the sheet edge formed by line  36  is aligned with base plane  40 . The second sheet  20  and third sheet  30  are aligned along the base plane  40 , such that the base  42  of the wrapping system  10  has a length L, the second  20  and second  30  sheets intersect at point A along the diagonal axis  18  of the first sheet  12 . The first  12 , second  20 , and third  30  sheets can be bonded together using a bonding agent, such as glue, double sided tape, and the like. 
     The first sheet  12  can be made of a craft paper, where the craft paper can be non-laminated, laminated, or partially laminated (for example laminated on one side). The second  20  and third  30  sheets can be made of a finewrap paper, where the finewrap paper can be of a unitary color and can also include a design element. As previously noted, materials other than craft paper and finewrap paper can be used. A decorative ribbon or string  46  such as a raffia can be affixed to first sheet  12  (and/or second  20  and third  30  sheets) to secure the wrapping system  10  about the flowers. 
     Referring to  FIG. 6 , in use, flowers  96  are positioned in wrapping system  10  along the central axis  18  of the wrapping system  10 . The opposite edges of the second  20  and third  30  sheets are wrapped about the flowers  96  in an alternating fashion, such that an inner surface of the second sheet  20  overlaps an outer surface of the third sheet  30  (or vice versa). Of course, if the user decides to place the flowers  96  left or right of the central axis  18 , the order (and extent) of wrapping of the second  20  and third  30  sheets can be changed to accommodate the placement of the flowers  96 . The second  20  and third sheets  30  can be secured together using a bonding agent or folding over each other, thus securing the wrapping about the flowers  96 . Additionally or alternatively, the decorative ribbon/string  46  can be utilized to secure the wrapping system  10  about the flowers  96 .
