  • Patent number: 11167900
    Abstract: According to one aspect, a packaging comprises a substrate comprising a first panel including a first end, a second end spaced a first distance from the first end, and opposing first and second perimeter side edges extending the first distance between the first end and the second end. The entire first panel is symmetric about a first longitudinal axis thereof extending between the first end and the second end and each of the first and second perimeter side edges is disposed at first and second widths, respectively, from the first longitudinal axis at a first portion of the first panel. The first portion is disposed at least one of at the second end and proximal the second end and the first portion has a longitudinal extent along the first longitudinal axis less than the first distance.

  • Patent number: 10696461
    Abstract: According to one aspect, a packaging includes a first panel including a first end and a second end, wherein first and second opposing perimeter side edges define the first panel and extend between the first end and the second end, and a first area having an inside surface is defined by the first end, the second end, and the perimeter side edges. A second panel includes a third end and a fourth end, wherein third and fourth opposing perimeter side edges define the second panel and extend between the third end and the fourth end, a second area having an inside surface is defined by the third end, the fourth end, and the perimeter side edges and wherein the second end is coupled to the third end at a first fold line. First and second tongues extend from third and fourth opposing perimeter side edges, respectively, at second and third fold lines, respectively.

  • Patent number: 8376212
    Abstract: An automated flat mail piece comprising a bendable envelope and a bendable insert tray disposed inside the cavity of the bendable envelope that satisfies USPS requirements for automated flats. The insert tray has a rectangular base with a perforated line disposed centrally from each edge to its respective opposing edge, dividing the base into four segments. A flap is integrally connected to the base by two walls extending at substantially right angle from the base. A set of three bend-enabling score lines disposed co-linear with the longitudinal and transverse bend axes of the envelope enable lengthwise and widthwise bending of the envelope. Diagonal stress relief score lines cooperate with bend enabling score lines to lessen the effects of a crease. A stress relief score line is disposed diagonally extending from an outer bend-enabling score line at the envelope edge to a center bend-enabling score line.
