  • Patent number: 6835265
    Abstract: A method for preparing sheets of material from a roll of a dual layered, highly embossed element useful in wrapping floral elements such as flower pots and the like. This material comprises a plastic or sealing layer laminated to an aluminum forming layer. The plastic layer may be embossed prior to lamination or after lamination and may also be colored.

  • Patent number: 5922455
    Abstract: A novel wrapping element comprising at least two layers in intimate contact is described. This element has a sealing layer which is applied to the element to be wrapped and a forming layer which is holographically enhanced on the outside. The holographic enhancement adds interest and beauty to the element to be wrapped which may include flower and floral arrangements, flower pots, and gifts, among others. Since the sealing layer will hold in any moisture or other material which may leak therefrom and since the forming layer permits the forming of the wrapping element about the element to be wrapped, there is great utility within this use.
