FIELD OF INVENTION
(paragraph 0001) This invention is a new idea that changes the format of
present day
packaging to packaging being decorated with a bouquet of mulberry paper
flowers,
leaves and other embellishments: such as ribbons and feathers and perhaps
charms This
bouquet format allows for a 3-D arrangement along the main stem (the wire of
the flower
chosen to be the focal one), and the rest of the other flowers being wrapped
around the
main stem, as a spray of flowers. It is very similar in representation to a
normal bouquet
of flowers, except that every flower and leaves is arranged along the focal
flower's stem.
This allows for the layering of each flower into a 3-D arrangement.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(paragraph 0001) At present the packaging industry has made use of different
types of
shapes, packaging material, lithographic techniques, different prints or
ribbons on the
packaging for items in the perfume industry, personal body care items or the
chocolate
industry.
(paragraph 0002) My invention of a spray of flowers on the packaging box or
paper bag,
may eliminate the need to think and design graphics for the packaging of the
current
method. There may be the elimination of organizing the design to be printed
onto the
cardboard or material for the packaging. This may result in a decrease in the
number of
developmental stages of the design of current and prior art.
(paragraph 0003) My idea has many, perhaps uncountable permutations of
bouquets of
2
CA 02598427 2007-07-31
flowers, and thus would result in a decrease in time to develop an aesthetic
appearance
for packaging that has been used for current and prior art.
(paragraph 0004) Current and prior art utilizes a variety of shapes, sizes and
designs with
or without graphic impact - bold graphics, metallic and fluorescent inks,
holograms, foil
stamping, poly-coatings or laminations on the packaging
(paragraph 0005) Current art is presently done for wedding favor boxes. Mine
is
different - wedding favor boxes have currently on the internet - three roses
arranged
flatly on the cover of the box. My box has flowers and leaves wrapped around a
main
stem producing a 3-D effect. The flat single arrangement of current art of
favor boxes,
has permutations but far less, it is limited to the surface area, by the
number of positions
the flowers can occupy on the surface area of the box. My design is 3-D, the
flowers are
arranged around a main stem.
(paragraph 0006) The flowers can be arra.nged with any number and kind of
flowers and
the variations of the bouquets are not constrained to the surface of the box,
the variations
are in fact uncountable.
(paragraph 0007) The flowers and leaves are arranged in various layers with
each
flowers' wire arranged from the back of the previous flowers onto the focal
flower's wire
at the back. Sometimes, the flowers are not in layers but are arranged in
layer format, but
appearing as in one layer, The flowers are arranged next to each other, and
each flower's
wire is placed at the back of each flower, entwined around the focal flower's
wire(the
3
CA 02598427 2007-07-31
main wire).
(paragraph 0008) The miniature mulberry paper flowers are extremely light in
weight.
The flowers are bought ready-made, the invention is to place these flowers as
a bouquet
and to use the idea for packaging. The cost of these flowers is low.
(paragraph 0009) The newness of the idea is stunning and attractive, it could
also
increase the sale of whichever product that this idea is used for packaging.
It would also
increase visibility of the product. Ladies love flowers, so why not place
these miniature
spray of flowers on boxes that are for perfume, personal body care products or
chocolate
industries, to name but a few of the industries that the invention could be
used in.
(paragraph 0010)The boxes can also be used to store goods, after the initial
product is
taken out and used.
(paragraph 0011) The packaging market is huge and it is a ready market.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
(paragraph 0001) Boxes or paper bags(packaging) can be decorated with a spray
of
miniature mulberry paper flowers in a 3-D arrangement. This 3-D arrangement
allows
for perhaps uncountable permutations, which results in a change in which
packaging is to
be presented in the future. The 3-D bouquet can also be arranged with other
embellishments using current and prior techniques for designing packaging.

(paragraph 0002) The current designs which are different shapes of boxes,
different
prints on the paper of the boxes, embossing, foil stamping, different media
used in
making the boxes can also be used to make the future boxes with this invention
- such as
solid bleached sulfate, coated unbleached kraft, clay coated news, folding
boxboard, and
uncoated recycled box board.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Since the number of permutations is enormous, I will only describe the making
of one
design of a 3-D bouquet of flowers to be glued onto packaging (box/paper bag).
I have
included an extra two set of bouquets to represent the many bouquets that can
be
designed for the packaging in mind. The following is a development of one
bouquet of
flowers that I have chosen as an example.
Figure 1 (front)
The frontal view of figure I is two roses, one rose is facing on the left hand
side at a
different angle to the right sided rose. The left rose faces towards the left,
the wire
attached to the left rose is wound around the wire attached to the right rose.
The right
rose is the focal rose.
Figure 2 (front)
This is a build on of figure 1. Three rosebuds are arranged to the right of
the right rose.
The three rosebuds are arranged in a row vertically next to the focal rose. In
order to do
CA 02598427 2007-07-31
this the wires of each of the rosebuds are wrapped at the back of the frontal
view around
the focal rose's wire.
Figure 3 (front)
This is a build up of figure 2. Two daisies are placed in between the two
roses on the top
of the roses. This is in the second layer to the back of the two roses. The
one daisy is on
the left facing at 90 degrees to the roses and the other daisy is facing 90
degrees to the
other daisy. The wires of the two daisies are wrapped around the wire of the
focal rose
from the back of the frontal view of the two roses.
Figure 3 (back)
This shows the architecture of the winding of the wires around the focal
flower's wire
(the main stem)
Figure 4 (front)
This is a build on of figure 3. Two rosebuds larger than those on the right of
the focal
rose are placed, the one larger rosebud is placed behind the left large rose
in the gap
between the roses. The second rosebud is placed behind the focal rose and
daisies as a
third layer from a frontal view of the bouquet. These two rosebuds are
separated from
each other by the second layer (of daisies) - these rosebuds are placed above
the large
roses. The rosebuds' wires are wrapped from the back along the focal rose's
wire.

Figure 5 (front)
This is a build up of figure 4. Another two rosebuds are placed above the
third layer
made up of the roses placed in figure 4, but these roses are in the fourth
layer behind the
rosebuds in the third layer. The two rosebuds in this fourth layer are
separated by the
daisies and there is a gap between these two rosebuds. They are not exactly
next to each
other. The wires of these two rosebuds are wired from the back of the bouquet
along the
focal rose.
Figure 5 (back)
This shows the architecture of the winding of the wires around the focal
flower's wire
(the main stem)
Figure 6 (front)
This is a build up of figure 5. Two more rosebuds are placed. One rosebud is
placed as
in the second layer at 45 degrees from the wire of the focal rose's wire. This
rosebud is
above the left rose. The second rosebud is placed in between the rosebuds
placed in
figure 5. It is in the fifth layer. The wires of these two rosebuds are
wrapped from the
back of the bouquet to the focal rose's wire.
Figure 7 (front)
The only change from figure 6 is the placing of a leaf at 45 degrees in
between the roses
with the wire of the leaf wrapped from the back of the bouquet around the
focal rose's
wire.

This shows the architecture of the winding of the wires around the focal
flower's wire
(the main stem)
On page 10/24, this is the representation on a photograph of the real bouquet
that has
been developed in the figures 1-7 above.
On page 11/24 is a representation on a photograph of an example of another
bouquet of
flowers that can be developed.
On page 12/24 is a representation on a photograph of an example of another
bouquet of
flowers that can be developed.
SUMMARY OF DRAWINGS
There is one set of drawings namely: The build up of the miniature mulberry
paper
flowers into a 3-D bouquet of flowers.
The flowers in the drawings for the figures 1 to 7 described in detail as to
the build up of
a 3-D bouquet, comprises chiefly of roses, rosebuds, daisies and a leaf. The
flowers are
in 3-D, meaning that each flower is arranged in layers. Each flower or leaf is
arranged
coming from behind the previous flower that has been wrapped around the focal
flower.
The newest flower or leaf then has its wire wrapped from the back around the
wire of the
focal flower. The bouquet of flowers is then glued from its back view onto the
cover or
8
CA 02598427 2007-07-31
side of the packaging The bouquet so arranged appears as in a bouquet of fresh
flowers in
floral designing.
There are figures too that show the back views of the bouquet of flowers
described above.
There are five sets of photographs:
The first set: A photograph of the built-up(complete) bouquet on a box as
discussed in
the drawings section.
The second set: A photograph of another different bouquet on a box.
The third set: Another photograph of another possible permutation of 3-D
bouquet of
flowers that is presented with a box as packaging
The fourth set: These are individual photographs of the miniature mulberry
paper
flowers that can be used to develop one's 3-D bouquet of flowers for
decorating
packaging. They are figures A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R
The fifth set: These are individual photographs of miniature mulberry paper
leaves that
can be used to develop one's 3-D bouquet of flowers for decorating packaging.
They are
figures AI,B2,C3,D4
The 3-D arrangement of flowers into a bouquet of flowers similar to a bouquet
of fresh
9
CA 02598427 2007-07-31
flowers arranged by a floral designer, can be used in packaging for especially
ladies' with
regard to personal body care products, perfumes, chocolates and so forth.
