[0001] The present invention relates to a reusable gift envelope with a gift certificate attached. [Background technology]
[0002] Traditional gift envelopes are often ornate, with emphasis on shape and style as a way to express the giver's position and status, and many of them are made using gold leaf and other materials. In some cultures and regions, there is also a custom of reusing gift envelopes, and they are even remade and reused. This type of reuse is a rational custom, both from an environmental and economic perspective.
[0003] Such a gift envelope that takes reusability into consideration is the gift envelope described in Patent Document 1. This gift envelope is designed to use recyclable precious metals, to be usable as a gift certificate, and to have part of the gift envelope function as a lottery ticket.
[0004] Such gift envelopes can revolutionize the way gift envelopes are used and their value, providing new value and joy to both the giver and the recipient. In particular, the use of reusable materials and the function as lottery tickets directly address the issue of the temporary use and disposal of conventional gift envelopes.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention
[0013] Hereinafter, the congratulatory envelope 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0014] As shown in FIG. 1, the congratulatory envelope 1 according to the present invention includes an inner wrapper 2 that wraps bills and gift certificates, an outer wrapper 3 that wraps the inner wrapper 2, a water cord 4 attached to the outer wrapper 3, and a strip 5 inserted into the water cord 4 attached to the outer wrapper 3.
[0015] The inner wrapper 2 wraps valuable items such as bills and gift certificates and is made of Japanese paper, Western paper, or a renewable material friendly to the environment that also has an aesthetic appearance. A lining or partition for protecting the item may be provided inside the inner wrapper 2.
[0016] The outer wrapper 3 protects the inner wrapper 2 and, in order to enhance the beauty of the appearance, uses a material that has higher durability compared to the inner wrapper 2 and is provided with a beautiful design or pattern.
[0017] The water cord 4 decorates the outer wrapper 3 of the congratulatory envelope 1 and also serves as a seal. Traditional hemp cords or silk cords are often used, and there are various variations in color and shape. The water cord 4 is removable from the outer wrapper 3 and can be reused for other congratulatory envelopes 1 or different purposes.
[0018] The strip 5 has the purpose of the congratulatory envelope 1 and the name of the sender, etc. written on it, and lightweight and easy-to-write paper is selected. Also, decorative elements may be added to the strip 5. The strip 5 is attached in a form inserted into the water cord 4 and can be easily exchanged.
[0019] As shown in FIG. 2, in the ceremonial bag 1 according to the first embodiment, the strip 5 has a display D having a monetary value. In the present embodiment, the display D having a monetary value is a print, a digital code such as a QR code (registered trademark), which functions as a gift certificate, a gift ticket, electronic money, a multiple-use ticket, an exchange ticket, an admission ticket, a right of use, a discount ticket, points, a lottery ticket, etc.
[0020] The display D having a monetary value according to the first embodiment is described in the lower part of the back surface of the strip 5. However, the display D having a monetary value may be described in any part of the strip 5.
[0021] As shown in FIG. 3, in the ceremonial bag 1 according to the second embodiment, the inner package 2 has a display D having a monetary value. The display D having a monetary value according to the second embodiment is described in a part of the inner package 2. The display D having a monetary value may be described in any part of the inner package 2.
[0022] When the display D having a monetary value provided on the ceremonial bag 1 is, for example, a gift certificate, it can be used to make purchases at a store. Also, when the display D having a monetary value is, for example, an electronic gift card, electronic money etc. may be charged by scanning it. Also, when the display D having a monetary value is, for example, an admission ticket, it may be possible to enter a facility etc. Also, when the display D having a monetary value is, for example, a lottery right, it may be possible to participate in a lottery. As such, the display D having a monetary value may be anything that can be exchanged for money or various services etc.
[0023] According to the ceremonial bag 1, a more heartfelt celebration has been possible than before. Also, even if the amount of the celebration wrapped in the ceremonial bag 1 is low, since a monetary value can be sent separately from the celebration, the feeling of celebration can be easily realized and the formality as a congratulatory gift can be maintained.
[0024] Furthermore, the structure of the congratulatory bag 1 other than the inner wrapper 2 or the strip 5 with the display D having a monetary value can be reused for other celebrations. When reusing, only the inner wrapper 2 or the strip 5 with the display D having another monetary value may be prepared and applied to the congratulatory bag 1 to be reused.
[0025] In the present embodiment, a congratulatory bag in a form where a bill or a gift certificate is wrapped in an inner wrapper and the inner wrapper is wrapped in an outer wrapper has been described. However, the congratulatory bag may directly wrap the bill or the gift certificate with a wrapper without using an inner wrapper.
[0026] In the present embodiment, the inner wrapper and the outer wrapper have been described in a form formed by folding a single sheet of paper. However, wrappers such as the inner wrapper and the outer wrapper may be formed in a bag shape like an envelope. Further, the outer wrapper may be in a pouch form that can be opened and closed with a zipper.
[0027] In the present embodiment, the inner wrapper and the outer wrapper have been described in a form using paper as a material. However, the inner wrapper and the outer wrapper may be made of other materials, for example, resin.
[0028] The congratulatory bag 1 according to the present embodiment has been described above. However, the congratulatory bag 1 is not limited to the above embodiment, and may have other configurations within the scope of achieving the object of the invention.
Industrial Applicability
[0029] The present invention can be used for the effective utilization of congratulatory bags.
