Abstract: A customizable envelope formed from interchangeable components allows the user to create various color and texture arrangements. The envelope is formed using two separate pieces of paper or other similar sheet material, each of which includes two foldable end flaps and a central portion. Both sheets are generally rectangular in shape and, when assembled to form the finished envelope, are preferably oriented so that their elongate axes are at a 90° angle to each other. In one form, the central portion of one sheet has a pair of elongated slits preferably formed parallel to the longitudinal axis of the sheet and located near the top and bottom edges, respectively. The second sheet is sized so that it will be received in these slits. After assembly, the portion of the first, slitted sheet, exterior to the slits appears to frame the central portion of the second sheet, providing a framed opening on either the inner or outer surface of the completed envelope.

Abstract: A reusable envelope is formed from a unitary blank of material, such as paperboard. The envelope includes a front and back panel and first and second closure assemblies. Side panels define, in part, the pocket of the reusable envelope. The first closure assembly folds over a back portion of the envelope to seal during use. For re-use, the second closure assembly attaches also to the back portion of the envelope, leaving the front portion of the envelope free from damage as a result of opening the first and second closure assemblies.

Abstract: Specialized sheets, for example, in the construction of business forms, having patterns of pressure activated cohesive are constructed so that all the sheets can be identical yet when the sheets are in a stack blocking of the pressure activated cohesive, and subsequent feeding problems, are eliminated by making the cohesive patterns offset a dimension "d" perpendicular to the direction of feed of the forms from a feed bin through an imaging device to an output tray. Either the feed bin, or an edge guide of the output tray, can be shifted at least the dimension "d" to automatically align the pressure activated cohesive patterns on cooperating first and second sheets, and after proper alignment of the cohesive patterns the sheets may be fed through a conventional pressure sealer.

Abstract: An envelope is formed from a scored blank. The blank is folded to form the envelope and comprises a sheet with score lines forming the boundary of a central portion which comprises a front of the envelope. A closure flap is hingedly connected to the remainder of the envelope along one of the score lines. A safety flap, also connected to the envelope along one of the score lines, is under the closure flap.

Abstract: A retainer for a flat object comprised of an envelope having front and rear planar members forming a pocket open at one end and for containing the flat object, and joined along opposite side edges, the planar member having a centrally located tongue projecting forward of the one end, the tongue being resiliently bendable adjacent the front end around an end and under a contained object so as to lie against an inside surface of the rear planar member, the width of the tongue being a fraction of the width of the planar members, the inside width of the envelope between the side edges being wider than the flat object by a distance sufficient to lift the tongue from under the contained object when the edges of the envelope are compressed toward each other and toward adjacent edges of the contained object.

Abstract: A shielded disk mailing envelope comprising a protective envelope made of thin material such as paper, cardboard, or plastic that is adapted to receive a floppy disk cartridge assembly. The protective envelope has substantially square rear and front walls. The front and rear walls are joined at a common bottom edge which allows the front wall to pivot about this edge. Side edge flaps are pivotally joined along the side edges of the rear wall, such that these side edge flaps can be folded inwardly toward the inner surface of the rear wall. The front wall is likewise folded inwardly toward the inner surface of the rear wall. The front wall inner surface is adhered to the outer surface of the previously folded side edge flaps, thus forming an envelope. At the top edge of the rear wall a cover flap is pivotally joined. This cover flap is folded over the opening created at the top of the envelope and acts to close the envelope creating a protective container.

Abstract: A resealable packaging enclosure is disclosed which includes a tear path defining an aperture through which products may be extracted from the enclosure, and a resealable closure tab which extends across the tear path. The tear path includes weaker and stronger portions. The stronger portion is more resistent than the weaker portion to forces tending to separate the material comprising the enclosure along the tear path. Thus, the tear path has a variable resistance along its length to forces tending to open the enclosure.
