Abstract: Mailpieces configured to mitigate flexure of frangible articles during handling by postal processing equipment. The mailpieces include spacers that intervene between the stress-sensitive article held by the mailer and a convex surface of a roller, drum, spindle, or other mechanical device used in the postal processing equipment for transporting the mailpieces.

Abstract: A tri-fold protective mailer for a stress-sensitive article. The protective mailer comprises a three-section, substantially-rectangular panel having a pocket on one outermost section for securing the stress-sensitive article. When the mailer is folded, the article is captured between the overlapping sections of the panel such that the stress-sensitive article is inaccessible from the exterior of the mailer. The pocket is positioned and configured such that the mailer can be handled by automated handling equipment without a significant risk of damage to the stress-sensitive article.
