ABSTRACT:
A package of expandable wrapping material, and a method of using that package. The package comprises a folder and a supply of sheets of expandable paper material connected to the folder. To use a sheet, the folder is opened, and a user grips the bottom edge of one of the sheets and stretches that sheet. As it is stretched, the sheet expands into a three-dimensional shape. The desired amount of expanded material is formed, and then that expanded material may be cut or torn from the folder. The expanded material may be used to wrap an article, either while that expanded material is still attached to the folder, or after that material is torn from the folder. Also, the expanded material may be used to fill voids or cavities in a box or container. Preferably, the package is secured to a fixed location, such as a work surface or a holder, while a sheet is stretched and cut or torn from the folder, and the package may be provided with means to facilitate attaching the folder to this fixed location.
