Customizable wrapper

Abstract

A customizable wrapper for a product, such as a candy bar, including a wrapper assembly having a pair of removable edges. A face sheet of the wrapper assembly includes a printable surface and an integrated wrapper sized to cover the product on both a front and back. A back sheet of the wrapper assembly includes a removable portion at least partially overlaying the wrapper, the removable portion removable to expose an adhesive surface along the wrapper. The customized wrapper is then wrapped around the product and adhered along the exposed adhesive.

1 . A method of customizing a wrapper of a product, comprising the steps of:
 feeding a wrapper assembly into a printer;   printing a custom graphic on a printable surface of the wrapper assembly;   separating a wrapper including the custom graphic from the wrapper assembly;   wrapping the wrapper around the product; and   adhering the wrapper to cover a front and back of the product with the wrapper.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the wrapper assembly comprises a face sheet including an adhesive coating and a back sheet disposed over the adhesive coating. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising removing a removable edge from the wrapper assembly, the removable edge defined by a tearable line of weakness extending through the face sheet and the back sheet. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising removing a removable portion of the back sheet to expose the adhesive coating. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the removable portion extends along an edge of the wrapper. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the removable portion extends around a perimeter of the wrapper. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the product is a candy bar. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the wrapper is sized to extend around a central portion of the candy bar and leaving end portions of the candy bar exposed. 
     
     
         9 . A method of customizing a wrapper of a product, comprising the steps of:
 feeding a wrapper assembly into a printer;   printing a custom graphic on a printable surface of a face sheet of the wrapper assembly;   removing a removable edge from the wrapper assembly to produce a wrapper sized to extend around the product;   removing a removable portion of a back sheet from the wrapper assembly to expose an adhesive coating, the removable portion at least partially overlaying the wrapper portion on the face sheet, to expose the adhesive surface along at least one edge of the wrapper;   wrapping the product within the wrapper; and   adhering the exposed adhesive to cover a front and back of the product with the wrapper.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the face sheet includes the adhesive coating and the back sheet is disposed over the adhesive coating. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising adhering the exposed adhesive to the product. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the removable portion extends along an edge of the wrapper. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the removable portion extends around a perimeter of the wrapper. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the product is a candy bar. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the wrapper is sized to extend around a central portion of the candy bar with ends of the candy bar exposed. 
     
     
         16 . A customizable wrapper for a product comprising:
 a wrapper assembly having a face sheet, a back sheet, and a pair of removable edges, each removable edge defined by a tearable line of weakness extending through the face sheet and the back sheet;   a printable surface of the face sheet extending between the removable edges, the printable surface being sized to wrap around and over the product on both a produce front and a product back side; and   a removable portion defined by a tearable line of separation extending through only the back sheet, the removable portion at least partially overlaying the face sheet and removable to expose an adhesive surface along the printable surface.   
     
     
         17 . The customizable wrapper of  claim 16 , wherein the removable portion extends along an edge of the wrapper. 
     
     
         18 . The customizable wrapper of  claim 16 , wherein the wrapper is sized to cover a candy bar.
