Abstract

A roll of folded wrapping material such as a packaging or gift material and methods of use thereof. The roll is constructed of a folded length of sheet material wrapped about an inner core or tube. The length of the core used to form the roll of folded wrapping material can therefore be reduced to about half of the length of a core of a standard roll of wrapping material thereby reducing the amount of shelf space needed to store the roll.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A roll of folded wrapping material, comprising: 
 a cylindrical core; and    a folded material rolled concentrically upon the cylindrical core.    
   
   
       2 . The roll of folded wrapping material of  claim 1  wherein the folded material is formed of a web of wrapping material having a length, the folded material having at least one lengthwise fold which extends the entire length thereof such that the web of wrapping material is folded over upon itself along the entire length thereof, such that the folded material has an open lengthwise side and a closed lengthwise side.  
   
   
       3 . The roll of folded wrapping material of  claim 1  wherein the folded material is a decorative gift wrap.  
   
   
       4 . The roll of folded wrapping material of  claim 1  wherein the folded material is constructed of plastic, paper, synthetic or non-synthetic polymeric film, or non-polymeric film, foil, a rubber or rubberized material, a fabric comprised of natural or synthetic materials, net, cellophane, shrinkable materials, or combinations or laminations thereof.  
   
   
       5 . The roll of folded wrapping material of  claim 1  wherein the cylindrical core has a length of 18 inches or less.  
   
   
       6 . A roll of folded wrapping material, comprising: 
 a cylindrical core; and    a folded material rolled concentrically upon the cylindrical core wherein the folded material is formed of a web of wrapping material having a length, the folded material having at least one lengthwise fold which extends the entire length thereof such that the web of wrapping material is folded over upon itself along the entire length thereof, such that the folded material has an open lengthwise side and a closed lengthwise side.    
   
   
       7 . The roll of folded wrapping material of  claim 6  wherein the folded material is a decorative gift wrap.  
   
   
       8 . The roll of folded wrapping material of  claim 6  wherein the folded material is constructed of plastic, paper, synthetic or non-synthetic polymeric film, or non-polymeric film, foil, a rubber or rubberized material, a fabric comprised of natural or synthetic materials, net, cellophane, shrinkable materials, or combinations or laminations thereof.  
   
   
       9 . The roll of folded wrapping material of  claim 6  wherein the cylindrical core has a length of 18 inches or less.  
   
   
       10 . A method of wrapping an item, comprising: 
 providing a roll of folded wrapping material comprising: 
 a cylindrical core; and  
 a folded material rolled concentrically upon the cylindrical core;  
   obtaining a sheet of material from the roll of folded wrapping material;    unfolding the sheet of material; and    disposing the unfolded sheet of material about an item.    
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 10  wherein in the step of providing a roll of folded wrapping material the folded material is formed of a web of wrapping material having a length, the folded material having at least one lengthwise fold which extends the entire length thereof such that the web of wrapping material is folded over upon itself along the entire length thereof, such that the folded material has an open lengthwise side and a closed lengthwise side.  
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the item is a gift item.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the folded material of the roll of folded wrapping material is constructed of plastic, paper, synthetic or non-synthetic polymeric film, or non-polymeric film, foil, a rubber or rubberized material, a fabric comprised of natural or synthetic materials, net, cellophane, shrinkable materials, or combinations or laminations thereof.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the cylindrical core of the roll of folded wrapping material has a length of 18 inches or less.  
   
   
       15 . A method of wrapping an item, comprising: 
 providing a roll of folded wrapping material comprising: 
 a cylindrical core; and  
 a folded material rolled concentrically upon the cylindrical core wherein the folded material is formed of a web of wrapping material having a length, the folded material having at least one lengthwise fold which extends the entire length thereof such that the web of wrapping material is folded over upon itself along the entire length thereof, such that the folded material has an open lengthwise side and a closed lengthwise side;  
   obtaining a sheet of material from the roll of folded wrapping material;    unfolding the sheet of material; and    disposing the unfolded sheet of material about an item.    
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the item is a gift item.  
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the folded material of the roll of folded wrapping material is constructed of plastic, paper, synthetic or non-synthetic polymeric film, or non-polymeric film, foil, a rubber or rubberized material, a fabric comprised of natural or synthetic materials, net, cellophane, shrinkable materials, or combinations or laminations thereof.  
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the cylindrical core of the roll of folded wrapping material has a length of 18 inches or less.  
   
   
       19 . A method of wrapping an item, comprising: 
 providing a roll of folded wrapping material comprising: 
 a cylindrical core; and  
 a folded material rolled concentrically upon the cylindrical core;  
   obtaining a sheet of material from the roll of folded wrapping material; and    disposing the sheet of material about an item.    
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 19  wherein in the step of providing a roll of folded wrapping material the folded material is formed of a web of wrapping material having a length, the folded material having at least one lengthwise fold which extends the entire length thereof such that the web of wrapping material is folded over upon itself along the entire length thereof, such that the folded material has an open lengthwise side and a closed lengthwise side.  
   
   
       21 . The method of  claim 19  wherein the item is a gift item.  
   
   
       22 . The method of  claim 19  wherein the folded material of the roll of folded wrapping material is constructed of plastic, paper, synthetic or non-synthetic polymeric film, or non-polymeric film, foil, a rubber or rubberized material, a fabric comprised of natural or synthetic materials, net, cellophane, shrinkable materials, or combinations or laminations thereof.  
   
   
       23 . The method of  claim 19  wherein the cylindrical core of the roll of folded wrapping material has a length of 18 inches or less.  
   
   
       24 . A method of wrapping an item, comprising: 
 providing a roll of folded wrapping material comprising: 
 a cylindrical core; and  
 a folded material rolled concentrically upon the cylindrical core wherein the folded material is formed of a web of wrapping material having a length, the folded material having at least one lengthwise fold which extends the entire length thereof such that the web of wrapping material is folded over upon itself along the entire length thereof, such that the folded material has an open lengthwise side and a closed lengthwise side;  
   obtaining a sheet of material from the roll of folded wrapping material; and    disposing the sheet of material about an item.    
   
   
       25 . The method of  claim 24  wherein the item is a gift item.  
   
   
       26 . The method of  claim 24  wherein the folded material of the roll of folded wrapping material is constructed of plastic, paper, synthetic or non-synthetic polymeric film, or non-polymeric film, foil, a rubber or rubberized material, a fabric comprised of natural or synthetic materials, net, cellophane, shrinkable materials, or combinations or laminations thereof.
