Method for forming a decorative cover for a flower pot with a sheet of material having printed and embossed patterns thereon

Abstract

A decorative covering for a flower pot is formed when a sheet of material having embossed and printed patterns thereon is formed about at least a portion of the flower pot.

1 . A method for providing a decorative covering for a flower pot comprising:
 forming a sheet of material about an outer peripheral surface of a flower pot to provide a decorative covering, the sheet of material having a first surface, a second surface, an embossed pattern disposed on at least a portion of the first surface thereof and a printed pattern disposed on at least a portion of the second surface thereof, wherein the printed and embossed patterns are in register with one another, the sheet of material being selected from the group consisting of paper, polymeric film, metalized film, foil, laminations thereof and combinations thereof, and wherein at least a portion of the embossed pattern and at least a portion of the printed pattern are visible on the decorative covering; and   securing the sheet of material about the flower pot via a bonding material.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein, in the step of securing the sheet of material about the flower pot, the bonding material is disposed on at least a portion of the sheet of material. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein, in the step of securing the sheet of material about the flower pot, the bonding material is disposed on at least a portion of the flower pot. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein, in the step of securing the sheet of material about the flower pot, the bonding material is selected from the group consisting of adhesive, cohesive, bands, ribbons, strings, tape, staples and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         5 . A method for providing a decorative covering for a flower pot comprising:
 unrolling material from a roll of material until a predetermined amount of material has been unrolled from a roll of material, the roll of material having a first surface, a second surface, an embossed pattern disposed on at least a portion of the first surface thereof and a printed pattern disposed on at least a portion of the second surface thereof, wherein the printed and embossed patterns are in register with one another, the roll of material being selected from the group consisting of paper, polymeric film, metalized film, foil, laminations thereof and combinations thereof;   cutting the unrolled material from the roll of material to provide a sheet of material having a first surface and a second surface, and having an embossed pattern disposed on at least a portion of the first surface thereof and a printed pattern disposed on at least a portion of the second surface thereof;   forming the sheet of material about an outer peripheral surface of a flower pot to provide the decorative covering wherein at least a portion of the embossed pattern and at least a portion of the printed pattern are visible on the decorative covering; and   securing the sheet of material about the flower pot via a bonding material.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5  wherein, in the step of securing the sheet of material about the flower pot, the bonding material is disposed on at least a portion of the sheet of material. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5  wherein, in the step of securing the sheet of material about the flower pot, the bonding material is disposed on at least a portion of the flower pot. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 5  wherein, in the step of securing the sheet of material about the flower pot, the bonding material is selected from the group consisting of adhesive, cohesive, bands, ribbons, strings, tape, staples and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         9 . A method for providing a decorative covering for a flower pot comprising:
 disconnecting one sheet of material from a pad of sheets of material to provide a sheet of material, the sheets of material being bondingly connected to form the pad, each of the sheets of material having a first surface, a second surface, an embossed pattern disposed on at least a portion of the first surface thereof and a printed pattern disposed on at least a portion of the second surface thereof, wherein the printed and embossed patterns are in register with one another, and each of the sheets of material being selected from the group consisting of paper, polymeric film, metalized film, foil, laminations thereof and combinations thereof;   forming the sheet of material about an outer peripheral surface of a flower pot to provide the decorative covering wherein at least a portion of the embossed pattern and at least a portion of the printed pattern are visible on the decorative covering; and   securing the sheet of material about the flower pot via a bonding material.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9  wherein, in the step of securing the sheet of material about the flower pot, the bonding material is disposed on at least a portion of the sheet of material. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9  wherein, in the step of securing the sheet of material about the flower pot, the bonding material is disposed on at least a portion of the flower pot. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9  wherein, in the step of securing the sheet of material about the flower pot, the bonding material is selected from the group consisting of adhesive, cohesive, bands, ribbons, strings, tape, staples and combinations thereof.
