  • Publication number: 20080141575
    Abstract: An improved retail-shelf flag-type signage-pouch essentially employing a retention-hole through which is inserted a locator-stud employed by existing state-of-art clasp-type hanger-clip devices. This INTELLISIGN™ signage-pouch may be configured with inboard mounting-tab, through which is provided the retention-hole; while an alternate tabless version is also set forth wherein the retention-hole is provided through the pocket region of the signage-pouch. Additionally, the preferred quadrilateral-shape of the signage-pouch which is generally permanently-sealed along three edges, is augmented with a generic-varient embodiment wherein the inboard-side of the signage-pouch may include a splayed to configuration, —which lends a somewhat more dynamic pointer-like appearance. Another optional feature is a flap-open inboard-edge and top-edge, —thereby facilitating easier insertion of the received insert-sign; —plus the flapped-edge may be positively closed via provision of a ZipLock® linear-closure as well.
