Abstract: A receptacle for various objects including food stuff is formed from a pleated sheet folded over itself to form a pouch with a mouth. The volume of the pouch may be expanded by pulling its corners apart, urging the sides of the pouch mouth together. In another variation, the pouch is formed of one section and a folded pleated section is deployed about the first section to form a cap.
Abstract: A wrapper is formed of a semi-rigid section is fixed to a pleated section made of a thin flexible sheet. The semi-rigid unpleated section is folded to form a cavity for containing loose products. The pleated section is deployed around the cavity to form a self-closing wrapper. After opening the wrapper the products may be consumed from either section. The wrapper is particularly suited for french fries or pizza pies.
Abstract: A sandwich wrapper is formed from a substantially rectangular sheet by providing a plurality of overlapping folds which are positioned into a substantially pleated arrangement. Two substantially parallel lines of adhesive, glue, or adhesive tape are used to attach spaced apart zones of the folded areas to each other. The dimensions of the sheet with respect to an article to be wrapped, spacing between the adhesive lines, and dimensions of the fold can be calculated to provide an efficient and cost-effective food wrapper.
