  • Postal mailer for stress-sensitive articles
    Patent number: 9033145
    Abstract: Protective mailer capable of being processed by postal processing equipment without causing damage to the article held by the mailer. The pocket holding the article inside the mailer is offset relative to one edge, when folded, by a distance sufficient to prevent damage when the mailer is oriented and processed. The mailer may include a resizing flap that, when unfolded and deployed, changes the dimensions of the mailer so that the mailer is processed by the postal processing equipment as a non-letter or flat mailpiece.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 6, 2004
    Date of Patent: May 19, 2015

  • Tri-fold protective mailer for stress-sensitive articles
    Patent number: 6491160
    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.
