Benefits of technology

[0005] Gift packaging disclosed herein enables a gift giver to place an item within the packaging so that a recipient may engage a feature on the packaging to gain access to the contents held within the packaging. The gift packaging, as a containment and / or concealing structure, provides for increased interaction of the recipient with the packaging holding the gift during the opening process.

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, the one or more lines of weakness present a pattern that is associated with the design elements on the enclosure.

Embodiment Construction

[0032] The gift packaging of the present invention employs certain opening features to provide increased interaction of the recipient with the packaging. In certain embodiments, the gift packaging allows the user to place items within the packaging through a first opening that may be closed or otherwise sealed off. A line of weakness serves as a feature that enables the recipient to create a second opening or access point in the packaging through which the contents of the packaging are revealed.

[0033] A line of weakness, as the term is used herein, refers to a location on a gift container panel or other packaging structure where the integrity of the material is less than the integrity of the material forming the packaging structure portions immediately flanking or adjacent to the line of weakness. Thus, application of a force in the area of the line of weakness causes structural failure along the line of weakness and the formation of an opening through the packaging structure in a ...

Abstract

Gift packaging is provided that employs lines of weakness in order to facilitate the creation of an opening for accessing items held within the packaging. In certain embodiments, the gift packaging, as containment structure, has a first opening through which gift items may be inserted into the packaging, and a second opening generated by separation of adjacent sections of material along one or more lines of weakness for access to the items. This material separation may be facilitated by use of a separation member defined by the one or more lines of weakness.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Not applicable. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not applicable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] The present invention relates to gift packaging. More specifically, the present invention is directed to gift containers and concealing devices as packaging which include a feature that enables the recipient to access the packaging contents through an opening generated by the recipient's interaction with the packaging. [0004] Gift boxes, gift bags, and other similar containers and gift concealing devices have proven to be popular for holding and presenting gift items to a recipient. A typical gift container may have graphical or other design elements formed directly on or otherwise attached to the container, to provide the recipient with an initial point of interest before the gift held in the container is revealed. Still, certain methods of, and containers facilitating, gift giving have a number of d...
