To this end there is provided according to the present invention a decorative container comprising card or the like material which has been folded into the shape of the container, the internal surface of the card being provided with a layer of resilient or soft material to protect any contents in the conainer and the external surface of the card being provide with a decoration.
The decoration may comprise a layer of decorative paper attached to the card such that when the card is folded to form the container the decorative paper covers a substantial part of the outer surface of the card.
The card may be have been folded into the shape of an envelope.
The container may have a closure region which is releasably attached to a part of the container.
The closure region may be attached to a part of the container by releasable adhesive such as double sided tape.
The resilient material may comprise bubble wrap.
An embodiment of the present invention will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompany drawings in which:- Figure 1 shows an edge view of a piece of card having a decorative layer on one side and a resilient layer of material on the opposite side, Figure 2 shows a front view of a container made from the card illustrated in Figure 1, Figure 3 shows a rear view of the container illustrated in Figure 2, and Figure 4 shows the container illustrated in Fgures 1 and 2 with a closure in an open position.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows an edge view of a piece of card 1 of such dimensions as to form a container of the required size when the card 1 is folded into the shape of the container.
Attached to one side of the card I by, for example, adhesive is a layer of material 2 having an appropiate decorative feature such as a Christmas scene. The material 2 can, for example, be coloured paper having a pattern on its surface and/or a raised decoration such as a bow. The material 2 forms the exterior surface of the container when the card is folded into the shape of the container.
Attached to the opposite side of the card 1 is a layer of resilient material 3 such as bubble wrap. This serves to protect the contents of the container.
Figures 2 and 3 show the front 4 and rear 5 sides respectively of the container and the decorative material 3 which has been attached to the exterior surface of the card prior to being folded.
