Gift Wrap Bag

Abstract

The present invention provides a gift bag formed with a functional ribbon or drawstring member attached adjacent to the open mouth, with the functional ribbon or drawstring member circumscribing the perimeter of the mouth opening and extending through a channel formed at the opening of the gift bag. When the drawstring member is pulled taut, the gift bag is sealed and the enclosed gift concealed. The gift bag can be purchased in a folded or rolled state in a variety of solid colors, patterns to suit any occasion or holiday, and in a variety of sizes. In addition, the gift bag contains a transparent or clear pocket attached to the exterior surface. The remaining open side of the pocket allows for the insertion of a greeting card or other means of identifying the person to receive the gift.

Problems solved by technology

Gift wrapping can be difficult when the gift is large or odd shaped.

It can also prove to be difficult to get a gift wrapped in a short length of time.

Wrapping a gift with wrapping paper is difficult enough when the gift is small and square or rectangle in shape, as the paper often shifts during the process, affecting the aesthetics of the wrapped package.

In addition, the paper is thin and fragile and sometimes tears, requiring replacement; and the folding on the ends can present problems as the wrapper tries to fold the excess wrapping paper neatly into an aesthetically pleasing flap to tape down.

Gift wrapping is further complicated when the gift is very large or odd shaped.

Often times the wrapper is required to find or even purchase a box or container to put the gift into before it can be wrapped, resulting in additional expense and time spent wrapping.

Additionally, gift wrapping paper is usually torn and disposed of after use, which is wasteful and not cost effective.
