Definitions

  • This invention relates to a combined greetings card and gift package.
  • EP-A-O 070 727 it has been proposed to combine a greetings card with a gift package by attaching a clear sheet of plastics material to the right-hand portion of the inner surface of the card so as to form a pocket or envelope containing a T-shirt having a picture printed thereon. A circular aperture or window is cut in the front portion of the card so that the picture on the T-shirt is visible from the front of the card.
  • the present invention is directed to a combined greetings card and gift package comprising a generally rectangular container for a gift and, folding onto the flat front face of the container, a flat cover flap of card material which forms, with the container, a greetings card having appropriate greetings printed thereon, characterised in that the container is made of the same card material as the cover flap and is integral with the latter.
  • the cover flap and the container are formed by folding a blank and sticking together opposing inner surfaces of the folded blank to produce the container with the cover flap extending from an edge of the container.
  • the contents of the container are not visible through the cover flap or the front face of the container but only through the container's rear face which has a cut-out portion or window for that purpose.
  • the combined greetings card and gift package shown in the drawings comprises a container 10 made of card material and of rectangular shape.
  • the container has a thickness of just over 1 cm but it is to be understood that the actual dimensions of the container are not really critical. It has flat front and rear faces 12 and 14 respectively, and flaps 16 and 18 for opening and closing the container are provided, as integral portions, at its top and bottom edges.
  • the rear face 14 has a cut-out portion or window 20 in the approximate shape of a T-shirt.
  • a cover flap 22 Integral with the front face 12 of the container 10 so that they are both made from a single sheet of the same card material is a cover flap 22 of the same overall dimensions as the front face 12 apart from an upper extension 24 which projects above the upper end of the container 10 once the flap 16 has been pushed into the end of the container.
  • the front flap 22 and the front face 12 of the container 10 serve as a greetings card which is therefore integral with the gift package formed by the container 10.
  • the front face 12 of the container 10 has a suitable greeting on it ("Happy Birthday” in this particular case), while the front 26 of the cover flap 22 has a suitable picture on it as shown in Figure 1. It will be noticed incidentally that the upwardly-projecting part 24 of the cover flap 22 also has appropriate printing on it, i.e., "Happy Birthday T-Shirt".
  • the rear face 14 of the container 10 likewise has printing on it as shown at 28 in Figure 3.
  • This printed matter gives the contents of the container as one T-shirt 30 having the same design on it as the front of the greetings card, a metal or plastic badge 32, a balloon 34 and an envelope (not shown).
  • the container 10 can hold any suitable article of clothing, handkerchiefs, gardening tools, articles of stationery, records, cassettes, to name but a few.
  • Figure 5 illustrates the way in which the combined greetings card and gift package is formed from a single blank 38 of card material.
  • the blank is initially flat but is then folded along the fold lines 40, 42, 44 and 46 to form the container 10. Thereafter the opposing surfaces 48 and 50 of the blank are stuck together to produce the container with the cover flap 22 extending from one edge of the container.
  • This makes for simplicity in manufacture in that the container 10 is made of the same card material as the cover flap 22 and is integral with the latter.
  • the T-shirt 30 is not visible through the cover flap 22 or the front face 12 of the container but only through the window 20 in the container's rear face 14. This encourages the receiver of the gift to read the greeting on the card - and particularly the name of the sender - before turning to the back of the package to see what is in the container.
  • the combined greetings card and gift package is preferably sold in an outer covering of transparent synthetic plastics film (not shown).
