AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention provides a way to make it easier to align wrapping material with the item to be wrapped. This is done by adding a grid, ruler, or other indicia to the rear surface of the wrapping material.

Problems solved by technology

Over time the adhesion between the release material and the applied adhesive builds such that the adhesive cannot be removed from the release material without damaging the underlying sheet material.

Embodiment Construction

[0043]Referring first to FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C, there is shown a bottom plan schematic view, a top plan schematic view, a bottom plan schematic view, and a side elevational schematic view, respectively of a portion of a sheet of wrapping material forming a multi-layer web in accordance with the prior art, generally at reference number 100. As used herein, the terms wrapping material and multi-layer web are used interchangeable. Wrapping material 100 is a thin, flexible multi-layer web having an upper or front surface 102 and an opposing lower or rear surface 104.

[0044]A top layer 106 of multilayer web 100 is typically formed from paper and generally carries artistic indicia 112 on an upper surface thereof. Such artistic indicia are believed to be well known to those of skill in the wrapping paper art.

[0045]A layer of adhesive 108 is disposed on a lower (inner) surface, not specifically identified, of top layer 106. Adhesive 108 typically may be a pressure sensitive adhesive or the li...

Abstract

A thin, multi-layer, flexible web of self-adhering wrapping material, typically paper, foil, polymer, or metalized polymer having a first layer having indicia on an outfacing major surface, pressure-sensitive or the like adhesive disposed on an opposing major surface, and a selectively removable protective layer over the adhesive. The protective layer is formed from a plurality of individual small, spaced-apart portions that facilitate their removal. Alignment indicia (e.g., gridlines, rulers, etc.) may be provided on the protective layer. In alternate embodiments, a chemically activatable adhesive may be used to replace a pressure sensitive adhesive. The wrapping material may be provided in sheets of different sizes or in continuous rolls.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention pertains to wrapping paper and, more particularly, to wrapping paper having an adhesive layer on a back side thereof, the adhesive layer having selectively removable protective backing disposed thereupon.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Typically a gift giver selects a decorative gift wrap to cover a product, box, or other container for both concealing the content and providing a decorative / festive appearance. To achieve a neatly presented gift wrapped package requires skill, discipline, and patience, qualities rarer in some persons than others. Although prepackaged pre-decorated gift bags and gift box assemblies are now relatively commonplace, some gift givers prefer to provide a personal touch to the gift being given. A personal touch / effort by the gift giver is evidenced by personal hand-wrapping of a gift, a task that is infinitely more difficult for some than others.[0003]For the “wrapping challenged” the task of wrapping even a pre-for...
