NESTING GIFT WRAP ROLL SYSTEMS AND RELATED METHODS

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present subject matter relates to nesting gift wrap roll systems and related methods. In particular, the present subject matter relates to nesting gift wrap roll systems that has an outer roll of gift wrap paper on a cylindrical core and an inner roll of gift wrap paper on a cylindrical core and having an inner roll diameter with the inner roll diameter being a size to permit the inner roll to be insertable into cylindrical core of the outer roll.

BACKGROUND

Gift wrapping is the act of enclosing a present in a material. The term “gift-wrapping products” refers to various materials and tools used to wrap, adorn, and enhance the aesthetic appeal of presents. These products include gift boxes, bags, ribbons, bows, tissue paper, tags, and other ornaments. The global gift wrapping products market size was estimated to have a value at around $18 billion in 2022. It is estimated to reach around $32 billion by 2031. North America is the most significant global gift wrapping products market shareholder characterized by a relatively high consumer purchasing power. The rising demand for sustainable gift wrapping papers for occasions such as Christmas and Thanksgiving also presents the market with growth avenues. This is key in the rising demand for trendy and exclusive gift-wrapping papers and solutions. Gift wrapping paper is the most widely used type of wrapping material. It is a type of paper used to wrap gifts, typically in a rectangle, to conceal the contents. Gift wrapping paper can have many colors, patterns, and designs and can be constructed from many materials, including paper, foil, or plastic.

Traditionally, gift wrapping paper is most commonly sold on rolls. Gift wrap rolls can eliminate the need for creases formed in unuse gift wrapping paper by having a width of the paper matching or shorter than the core on which the gift wrapping paper is wound. By wounding the gift wrapping paper on a cylindrical core with a circular cross-section, no folds in the gift wrapping paper are needed, thereby preserving the colors, patterns, and designs, and presenting a clean flat wrapping paper in which to wrap a gift, gift box, or the like. To accommodate a wide variety of packages to be wrapped, the cylindrical core and the gift wrapping paper usually have a long width to allow the user to cut the gift wrapping paper down to the size that they need. In some embodiments, the width of the gift wrapping paper can be, for example, about 18 inches, about 24 inches, about 30 inches, or about 40 inches. Additionally, most consumers like to use a variety of gift wrapping papers, especially at large gift giving events like Christmas and birthdays so that the presentation of multiple gifts wrapped in a single patterned or colored gift wrapping paper does not look monotonous. Often multiple rolls of paper with different colors, patterns, and designs thereon are often sold together in smaller square footage of between about 25 ft² and about 120 ft². For example, each of the multiple rolls of paper with different colors, patterns, and designs thereon often have shorter lengths of about 50 feet, about 40 feet, about 30 feet, about 20 feet, or about 10 feet. These multiple rolls of paper are packaged side-by-side. Due to the width of the gift wrapping paper and the cylindrical core, the side-by side packaging of the multiple rolls of paper can be bulky for consumers to handle and can require extra display space when sold in a stores.

As such, a need exists for gift wrap roll systems that reduce bulkiness of multiple gift wrap rolls packaged together and meet the need of reducing the amount of display space of these multiple roll packages consume.

The present subject matter relates to nesting gift wrap roll system comprises an outer roll having an outer roll diameter and an inner roll with an inner roll diameter. The outer roll comprises an outer roll core having a first core inner diameter and a first core outer diameter, and a first gift wrap paper wrapped around the first core outer diameter. The inner roll comprises an inner roll core having a second core inner diameter and a second core outer diameter, and a second gift wrap paper wrapped around the second core outer diameter. The inner roll diameter of the inner roll is a smaller diameter than the first core inner diameter of the outer roll core, such that the inner roll is insertable into the outer roll core of the outer roll. The nesting gift wrap roll system further comprises a wrap material that tightly covers the outer roll once the inner roll is inserted into the first core inner diameter of the outer roll core and securement strips identifying the nested roll system placed over the wrap material at either end of the outer roll to help secure the nested inner roll in the first core inner diameter of the outer roll core until the wrap material is removed and the outer and inner gift wrap rolls are ready for use by the consumer.

Referring to FIGS. 1-5, an embodiment of a nesting gift wrap roll system, generally designated 10, can comprise an outer roll 12 and an inner roll 20 that can fit inside a hollow inner portion of a core 14 of the outer roll 12. In some embodiments, the nesting gift wrap roll system 10 can also comprise a wrap material 28 that covers the outer roll 12 once the inner roll 20 is inserted into the outer roll core 14 to form a package to facilitate the holding of the inner roll 20 with the outer roll core 14 of the outer roll 12. In some embodiments, the nesting gift wrap roll system 10 can also comprise securement strips 30A, 30B placed over the wrap material 28 at either end of the outer roll 12 to help secure the nested inner roll 20 in the outer roll core 14 until the wrap material 28 is removed and the outer and inner gift wrap rolls 12, 20 are ready for use by the consumer. The outer roll 12 of the nesting gift wrap roll system 10 can have a roll diameter 12_OD, i.e., the outer roll diameter, and an inner roll 20 with a roll diameter 200D, i.e., the inner roll diameter as FIG. 1. The outer roll 12 can comprise an outer roll core 14 having a first core inner diameter 14_ID and a first core outer diameter 14_OD and a first gift wrap paper 16 wrapped around the first core outer diameter 14_OD. For example, the first gift wrap paper 16 can be wrapped around an outer surface 18 of the first core outer diameter 14_OD.

The inner roll 20 can comprise an inner roll core 22. The inner roll core 22 can have a second core inner diameter 22_ID and a second core outer diameter 22_OD. The inner roll 20 can also comprise a second gift wrap paper 24 wrapped around the second core outer diameter 22_OD. For example, the second gift wrap paper 24 can be wrapped around an outer surface 26 of the second core outer diameter 22_OD.

The inner roll diameter 22_OD of the inner roll 20 is a smaller diameter than the first core inner diameter 14_OD of the outer roll core 14, such that the inner roll 20 is insertable into the outer roll core 14 of the outer roll 12. As shown in FIG. 2, there can be enough clearance between the first core inner diameter 14_OD of the outer roll core 14 of the outer roll 12 and the outer diameter 22_OD of the inner roll 20 such that the inner roll can be freely and easily moved in an insertion direction A into the hollow portion of the first core inner diameter 14_OD of the outer roll core 14 and pulled out of the hollow portion of the first core inner diameter 14_OD of the outer roll core 14 of the outer roll 12 in a removal direction B without the gift wrap paper 24 getting damaged or marred by the outer roll core 14.

The outer roll core 14 can comprise a hard, or rigid, roll core that provides a stable inner core diameter 14_ID of the outer roll core 14. For example, the outer roll core 14 can comprise a thick solid cardboard cylinder, a corrugated cardboard, or the like, that provides a stiffness to the outer roll core 14 that prevents collapse under routine use to provide protection to the inner roll 20 that is inserted therein. In some embodiments, the outer roll core 14 can comprise a polymeric plastic cylinder that provides a stiffness to the outer roll core 14. To accommodate the inner roll 20, the first core inner diameter 14_ID of the outer roll core 14 can be between about 1.5 inches to about 3 inches. In some embodiments, the first core inner diameter 14_ID of the outer roll core 14 can be between about 1.5 inches to about 2.5 inches.

In some embodiments, the first core inner diameter 14_ID of the outer roll core 14 can be about 1.75 inches.

In some embodiments, the inner roll core 22 can comprise a hard, or rigid, roll core. In some embodiments, the inner roll core 22 can comprise a soft core. For example, the inner roll core 22 can comprise a stiffner core. For example, a stiffner core can comprise a rolled layers of paper, such as kraft paper, which provides enough stiffness to permit the winding of the gift wrap on to the inner roll core 22 but less stiffness than a hard core, while providing a thinner wall width to conserve space and material. Stiffner cores, by using less material, can be more environmentally friendly. The second core inner diameter 22_ID of the inner roll core 22 can be between about 1 inch to about 2 inches. In some embodiments, the second core inner diameter 221D of the inner roll core 22 can be between about 1 inch to about 1.5 inches. In some embodiments, the second core inner diameter 22_ID of the inner roll core 22 can be between about 1.5 inches. The roll diameter 200D of the inner roll 20 can be close to, but less than, the first core inner diameter 14_ID of the outer roll core 14 to permit the insertion in direction A and removal in Direction B of the inner roll 20 as shown in FIG. 2. For example, the roll diameter 200D of the inner roll 20 can be within about 1.5 inches and about 1.75 inches when the first core inner diameter 14_ID of the outer roll core 14 is about 1.75 inches. In another example, the roll diameter 20_OD of the inner roll 20 can be within about 1.75 inches and about 2 inches when the first core inner diameter 14_ID of the outer roll core 14 is about 2 inches.

The nesting gift wrap system 10 can be configured so that the first gift wrap paper 16 on the outer roll 12 can be different in design, color, and/or pattern from the second gift wrap paper 24 on the inner roll as shown in FIG. 2. In this manner, two different types of gift wrap paper 16, 24 can be provided in a less bulky package that takes up space of a single outer roll 12 when displayed in a store. The first gift wrap paper 16 wrapped around the first core outer diameter 14_OD. The size and amount of the gift wrap paper 16, 24 can vary and can depend on a width of the gift wrap paper 16, 24 and a length of the gift wrap paper 16, 24 wound on each roll. For example, the gift wrap paper 16, 24 can have a smaller square footage of between about 25 ft² and about 120 ft². In some embodiments, the square footage of the gift wrap paper 24 can be between about 25 ft² and about 100 ft² and the square footage of the gift wrap paper 16 can be between about 40 ft² and about 120 ft². For example, in some embodiments, the square footage of the gift wrap paper 24 can be about 40 ft² and the square footage of the gift wrap paper 16 can be about 80 ft².

As stated above, the nesting gift wrap system 10 can also comprise a wrap material 28 tightly covering the outer roll 12 once the inner roll 20 is inserted into the first core inner diameter 14_ID of the outer roll core 14 as shown in FIG. 1. In some embodiments, the wrap material 28 can comprise a shrink wrap material 28 that constricts upon sufficient heat being applied to the shrink wrap material 28. In some embodiments, the wrap material 28 can comprise a sleeve as shown in FIG. 1 in which the outer roll 12 is insertable. The nested outer and inner rolls 12, 20 can be inserted into the sleeve of wrap material 28 and the sleeve of the wrap material 28 can be exposed to a heat source to cause it to constrict around the outer roll 12 and at the ends of the outer roll 12 as show in FIG. 5. In this manner, the shrink wrap material 28 shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 can form an outer package that aids in securing and keeping the inner roll 20 inside the outer roll 12 in a nested configuration until the package formed by the wrap material 28 is opened for use. The wrap material 28 that forms the outer package can be transparent. A printed label identifying gift wrap paper 16, 24 on each roll 12, 20 that can be place between the outer roll 12 and the wrap material 28 so that a consumer can easily tell the different gift wrap paper styles the outer roll and the inner roll have thereon.

Alternatively, in some embodiments as shown FIG. 4, the wrap material can comprise a shrink wrap sheet 28A that can be wrapped around the outer roll 12 with the inner roll 20 nested therein. To hold the shrink wrap sheet 28A in place, an outward facing edge perimeter of an inner edge of the shrink wrap sheet 28A can have an adhesive thereon. The shrink wrap sheet 28A can be wrapped around the outer roll 12 with the inner roll 20 nested therein with the outward facing edge perimeter with the adhesive thereon adhering to the inner surface of the shrink wrap sheet 28A that comes in contact with the adhesive. The ends of the shrink wrap sheet 28A can be exposed to a heat source to cause it to constrict at the ends of the outer roll 12. Alternatively, the shrink wrap sheet 28A can be wrapped around the outer roll 12 with the inner roll 20 nested therein and the sides and ends can be exposed to a heat source to cause sides and exposed ends of the shrink wrap sheet 28A to constrict around the outer roll 12 and at the ends of the outer roll 12 without use of an adhesive.

Additionally, the nesting gift wrap system 10 can comprise securement strips 30A, 30B that can be placed over the wrap material 28 at either end of the outer roll 12. The securement strips 30A, 30B can help secure the nested inner roll 20 in the first core inner diameter 14_ID of the outer roll core 14 of the outer roll 12 until the wrap material 28 is removed and the outer gift wrap roll 12 and inner gift wrap roll 20 are ready for use by the consumer. In some embodiments, the securement strips 30A, 30B can include indicia 32 on their outer faces. The indicia thereon to provide information regarding the first and the second gift wrap paper. For example, in some embodiments, the securement strips 30A, 30B can have indica 32 on there that identifying the first gift wrap paper 16 and the second gift wrap paper 24. The securement strips 32 can have an adhesive that has a strength that when the label strip 32 is applied over the wrap material 28 at either end of the outer roll 12 the label strip 32 holds the inner roller 20 within the outer roll 12.

In some embodiments as shown in FIGS. 1-4, a width 16_W of the gift wrap paper 16 of the outer roll 12 can be shorter than a width 14_W of the outer roll core 14 of the outer roll 12, such that the ends of the outer roll core 14 extends out further from the side edges of gift wrap paper 16. Similarly, a width 24_W of the gift wrap paper 24 of the inner roll 20 can be shorter than a width 22_W of the inner roll core 22 of the inner roll 20, such that the ends of the inner roll core 22 extends out further from the side edges of gift wrap paper 24. In such configurations, the outer roll core 14 of the outer roll 12 and the inner roll core 22 of the inner roll 20 can provided some added protection against the frays of the side edges of gift wrap paper 16 and/or the side edges of gift wrap paper 24.

Referring to FIG. 7, another embodiment of a nesting gift wrap roll system, generally designated 110, can comprise an outer roll 112 with a first gift wrap paper 116 thereon and an inner roll 120 with a second gift wrap paper 124 thereon that can fit inside a hollow inner portion of a core 114 of the outer roll 112.
