Abstract
Abstract A wrapper for a framed mirror consisting of a unitary ply of paperboard wider and longer than the mirror, leaving wider margins on two opposed sides than on the others. Portions of the ply connected to the margins are struck out from the ply and folded over on the margins to define the mirror receiving area and to immobilize the mirror reposing thereon. Portions of the wider margins are folded over the struck out portions connected thereto and the adjacent mirror portions and the struckout portions connected to the narrower margins and are secured to the narrower margins through the struck out portions folded thereover.
