Spoonwrap for container

Abstract

A system and method for associating a constructible utensil with a container. The system may use a thin-walled plastic cup container with a stiffer paperboard overwrap. A constructible utensil is integrated into this overwrap. A free end of the wrap overlaps and covers the utensil-end of the overwrap, so that the utensil is protected. The overwrap is sealed at the free end with an easy to release adhesive, so that the consumer would pull back the overwrap to expose the utensil. The utensil would be perforated on the overwrap, so the consumer could easily remove it for use. There is an option for more copy under the overwrap as well.

1 - 2 . (canceled) 
     
     
         3 . A delivery system for providing a constructible utensil to a consumer of a content of a container having a bottom base, a top opening, and one more sidewalls extending between the bottom and top defining a content-containing volume for the content, comprising:
 an overwrap made from a deformable foldable stock having an overwrap width less than a container height extending from the bottom base to the top opening and having an overwrap length extending from a fixed end to a free greater than a distance around the one or more sidewalls by a margin length, said fixed end fixed to an outside exterior of the sidewall at a particular location with said overwrap extending around the one or more sidewalls until said free end overlaps said fixed by said margin length, said free end releasably secured to an outside portion of said overwrap configuring said overwrap to cover an overlapping portion of said overwrap; and   a constructible utensil removeably defined within said overlapping portion of said overwrap.   
     
     
         4 . The delivery system of  claim 3  wherein said constructible utensil has a length along a longitudinal axis greater than a width along a lateral axis and wherein said constructible utensil is defined so said longitudinal axis extends from the bottom base to the top opening. 
     
     
         5 . The delivery system of  claim 4  wherein said margin length is greater than said width. 
     
     
         6 . The delivery system of  claim 4  wherein said margin length is less than said width. 
     
     
         7 . The delivery system of  claim 3  wherein said constructible utensil has a length along a longitudinal axis greater than a width along a lateral axis and wherein said constructible utensil is defined so said lateral axis extends from the bottom base to the top opening. 
     
     
         8 . The delivery system of  claim 4  wherein said margin length is greater than said length. 
     
     
         9 . The delivery system of  claim 4  wherein said margin length is less than said length. 
     
     
         10 . The delivery system of  claim 9  wherein said constructible utensil has a handle joined to an operative element and wherein a portion of said handle is not covered by said free end while all of said operative element is covered by said free end. 
     
     
         11 . A method of deploying a constructible utensil associated with a container, comprising:
 a) releasing a releasably secured free end of an overwrap wrapping an outside perimeter of the container to reveal a constructible utensil defined in said overwrap that had been at least partially obscured and protected by said overwrap; and   b) removing said revealed and protected constructible utensil from said overwrap.
