Description

[Technical field]

[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.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3089819 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, the gift envelopes described in Patent Document 1 are not intended to be reused as gift envelopes, and do not form a cycle of reuse as gift envelopes. In other words, although the gift envelopes in Patent Document 1 may be collected and recycled for other purposes, they are essentially the same as waste disposal.

[0007] In response to this, the inventor of the present invention has invented a method for recycling gift envelopes as gift envelopes and adding economic value to them, in order to solve the following problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] (1) The gift envelope of the present invention includes an inner envelope for enclosing banknotes or gift certificates, an outer envelope for enclosing the inner envelope, a piece of mizuhiki attached to the outer envelope, and a strip of paper to be inserted into the mizuhiki attached to the outer envelope, and is characterized in that at least one of the inner envelope and the strip of paper has a marking having a monetary value.

[0009] (2) The strip of paper for the gift envelope of the present invention is inserted into a gift envelope that includes an inner envelope for wrapping bills or gift certificates, an outer envelope for wrapping the inner envelope, and a Mizuhiki cord attached to the outer envelope. The strip of paper is characterized by having a mark with monetary value.

[0010] (3) The inner envelope according to the present invention is wrapped in the outer envelope of the gift envelope and is characterized by having a mark indicating a monetary value. Effect of the Invention

[0011] According to the present invention, by endowing the gift envelope with monetary value, it is possible to increase the flexibility and variety of uses for the gift envelope, and to encourage reuse of the gift envelope. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0012] [Figure 1] 1 is a schematic diagram of a gift envelope according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 2] 2 is a schematic diagram of the strip shown in FIG. 1, where (A) shows the front side and (B) shows the back side. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the inner pack shown in FIG. 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] Hereinafter, a gift envelope 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0014] As shown in Figure 1, the gift envelope 1 of the present invention includes an inner envelope 2 for wrapping banknotes or gift certificates, an outer envelope 3 for wrapping the inner envelope 2, a mizuhiki 4 attached to the outer envelope 3, and a strip of paper 5 to be inserted into the mizuhiki 4 attached to the outer envelope 3.

[0015] The inner envelope 2 is used to wrap valuable items such as banknotes and gift certificates, and is made of beautiful Japanese paper or Western paper, or environmentally friendly, renewable materials. The inner envelope 2 may have a lining or a partition inside to protect the items.

[0016] The outer envelope 3 is made of a material that is more durable than the inner envelope 2 and has a beautiful design or pattern in order to protect the inner envelope 2 and to enhance the beauty of its appearance.

[0017] Mizuhiki 4 decorates the outer wrapping 3 of the gift envelope 1 and also serves as a seal, and is often made with traditional linen or silk thread, and comes in a wide variety of colors and shapes. Mizuhiki 4 can be removed from the outer wrapping 3 and can be reused for other gift envelopes 1 or for different purposes.

[0018] The strip of paper 5 is made of lightweight paper that is easy to write on and describes the purpose of the gift in the gift envelope 1 and the name of the sender. The strip of paper 5 may also have decorative elements. The strip of paper 5 is attached by being inserted into the mizuhiki 4, and can be easily replaced.

[0019] 2, in the gift envelope 1 according to the first embodiment, the strip 5 has a display D having monetary value. In this embodiment, the display D having monetary value is a print functioning as a gift certificate, gift voucher, electronic money, a coupon, an exchange ticket, an admission ticket, a right of use, a discount coupon, points, a lottery ticket, or a digital code such as a QR code (registered trademark).

[0020] The indicia D having a monetary value according to the first embodiment is written in the lower part of the back surface of the strip 5. However, the indicia D having a monetary value may be written in any part of the strip 5.

[0021] 3, in the gift envelope 1 according to the second embodiment, the inner envelope 2 has a display D indicating a monetary value. The display D indicating a monetary value according to the second embodiment is written on a part of the inner envelope 2. The display D indicating a monetary value may be written on any part of the inner envelope 2.

[0022] If the display D having monetary value provided on the gift envelope 1 is, for example, a gift certificate, it can be used to make purchases at a store. If the display D having monetary value is, for example, an electronic gift card, it may be possible to charge electronic money or the like by scanning it. If the display D having monetary value is, for example, an admission ticket, it may enable admission to a facility or the like. If the display D having monetary value is, for example, a lottery ticket, it may enable participation in a lottery. In this way, the display D having monetary value may be anything that can be exchanged for money or various services, etc.

[0023] The gift envelope 1 allows you to send a more heartfelt gift than ever before. Even if the amount of the gift to be wrapped in the gift envelope 1 is small, you can send a monetary value separately from the gift, so you can easily embody your celebratory feelings and maintain the appearance of a gift.

[0024] Furthermore, the components of the gift envelope 1 other than the inner envelope 2 or the strip of paper 5 bearing the indication D of monetary value can be reused for other celebrations. When reusing, only the inner envelope 2 or the strip of paper 5 bearing the indication D of other monetary value may be prepared and applied to the gift envelope 1 to be reused.

[0025] In the present embodiment, a gift envelope in which a bill or a gift certificate is wrapped in an inner envelope and the inner envelope is wrapped in an outer envelope has been described. However, the gift envelope may be one in which the bill or the gift certificate is wrapped directly in the envelope without using an inner envelope.

[0026] In the present embodiment, the inner envelope and the outer envelope are described as being formed by folding a single sheet of paper. However, envelopes such as the inner envelope and the outer envelope may be formed in a bag shape such as an envelope. The outer envelope may be in the form of a pouch that can be opened and closed with a zipper.

[0027] In the present embodiment, the inner envelope and the outer envelope are made of paper, but the inner envelope and the outer envelope may be made of other materials, for example, resin.

[0028] The gift envelope 1 according to this embodiment has been described above. However, the gift envelope 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 to make effective use of gift envelopes. [Explanation of symbols]
