Abstract: A flame resistant packaging system has an outer box and a flame and heat resistant liner inside the box. The liner is constructed of a layer of a ceramic fiber and a layer of metal foil. The edges of the liner are joined at a seam, forming a compartment for holding an article to be packaged. The foil layer of the liner faces the inside of the compartment. A patch, similarly constructed of foil and ceramic fiber, is attached over the seam to prevent hot gasses from entering the compartment at the seam. The compartment is substantially closed by folding the sides of the liner inward. End inserts, similarly constructed of foil and ceramic fiber, are inserted into the compartment to substantially cover the areas where the liner is folded to close the compartment.

Abstract: There is disclosed an improved stacker, method of stacking sheets such as tags, and a stack of sheets. The stacker and the stacking method produces a stack of sheets, wherein same-size sheets are stacked so that the endmost sheet or sheets in one batch are offset or staggered to provide batch separators in a stack of sheets. The stacker includes an improved sheet feed mechanism that enables sheets having different characteristics to be fed without disassembling any portion of the mechanism or the stacker.
