Abstract: Inline crossfold product and method that will provide substantially more insert sheet material than previous inline crossfold methods, and, additional inline crossfold packet configurations, is provided. A bound crossfold booklet, the equivalent of or a small catalog, which is particularly adapted for large mail distribution is provided. The substantially lower mailing cost of a six by nine inch booklet size, instead of the ordinary letter size catalog, yields substantial savings. Production and handling costs are also minimized since the booklets are bound in the inline process, thereby eliminating separate handling and binding costs, where there is a separate binding and envelope stuffing operation required.

Abstract: An inline formed package having an envelope and insert material, is formed from a single repeat of a printed web both of which are crossfolded simultaneously, approximately along the half repeat line, and the area of the insert material is greater than half the area of the repeat.

Abstract: A product sampler including a substrate layer, a barrier layer covering the substrate layer, a gelatinoid product layer covering and in contact with the barrier layer, and a barrier layer covering and in contact with the product layer is provided. The gelatinoid product layer may include a microencapsulated product, such as a fragrance. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the gelatinoid product layer includes a microencapsulated fragrance carried in a gelatinoid liquid vehicle, which vehicle may comprise, for example, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycols, glycerin, or mixtures thereof. In a highly preferred embodiment of the invention, the product sampler is in the form of a magazine insert having a protruding trimmable non-barrier substrate tab portion, whereby a user may remove a trim portion from the trimmable edge portion after binding the insert into a magazine without removing barrier material with the removed trim portion. Also disclosed is a product sampler in the form of a label.

Abstract: An assembly for producing a packet containing inserts, provides means for placing inserts on a moving web and holding them in position thereon by banding spaced sets of inserts on the web with a ribbon which is crimped to the web between successive sets of inserts.

Abstract: A system for producing a mass distributable printed packet is disclosed wherein a web of paper has printed thereon a format of successive rectangular pieces in a plurality of longitudinal lines extending parallel to the edges of the web, the web is cut longitudinally between the print patterns and the thus-formed strips are superposed in vertical registry of the printed patterns. The strips are cut to form sets of printed sheets, each including a separator element. The sets are stacked in a hopper and the bottom sets are successively removed and packaged.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for transporting hazardous, toxic or nuisance materials from the controlled chambers of removal sites to disposal sites and containing these materials by controlling the environment within the cargo area of a transport vehicle and for some distance outside it. The apparatus comprises a cargo chamber to control leakage and air flow, a regulated air handler to maintain a predetermined vacuum pressure within the cargo area relative to outside ambient pressure, a filtering system to trap air borne particles before exhausting into the outside environment and a wetting means, filter means and containment process for larger contaminates. The unit is self sufficient to provide its own generated electricity, liquid flow supply and automated control process enabling the containment system to function under stationary or mobile conditions for extended periods.

The superposed strips are then cut to form sets of printed pieces which sets are each placed within an individual outer container.

Abstract: A bind-in insert of lightweight paper stock for use in magazines, catalogs and booklets, has a paper envelope and a narrow, elongated, and impermeable thickened binding strip section disposed along the edge to be bound, the binding strip being formed by folding over and gluing the edge portion of the insert.

Abstract: A preprinted mail order assembly for mass distribution includes an evelope with a tear-off order blank and a tear-off shipping label. The elements are arranged to permit both outer panels to be fully devoted to advertising, while both interior panels carry the required information and address sections. There are three overlapping sections made from a single web in which two longitudinal fold lines constitute the side edges of the envelope with a longitudinal securing strip adjacent one of the fold lines. Glue along the bottom edges of the envelope and the securing strip hold the envelope together. Two tear lines provide for separation of the order blank and shipping label, removal of which places the envelope in condition for use.
