Patent number: 10565486Abstract: A transaction card and carrier system. The system includes a panel assembly and transaction card assembly. The transaction card assembly includes a transaction card and one or more snap-off portions selectively detachable from the transaction card along a line of weakness. The transaction card assembly is anchored between at least two panels of the panel assembly along or within a seam or bind area formed by sealing the at least two panels together around or over the snap-off portion.

Patent number: 8833553Abstract: A secure carrier assembly for media devices and media content. The assembly includes a carrier having a front panel, a rear panel, and an intermediate panel. At least one panel of the carrier comprises a durable polymeric material, such as a lens sheet assembly including a lens sheet, and an image layer. The carrier with lens sheet assembly provides enhanced security features, increased durability, and eye-catching features compared to traditional carrier or packaging assemblies.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2012Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Travel Tags, Inc.Inventors: David E.

Patent number: 8807332Abstract: A financial transaction card is packaged by a carrier which contains the card and restricts motion of the card sufficiently to inhibit removal of the card by improper means (e.g., creating a slit in the exterior of the package and sliding the card out) prior to activation of the financial transaction account associated with the card at the point of sale. In a preferred embodiment, the package is a simple three-panel construction having an internal panel provided with slits that do not contact the card unless improper removal of the card is attempted. Such a feature provides substantial security for the packaged card, at minimal manufacturing cost.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2009Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Travel Tags, Inc.Inventors: Shelle B. Pascua, Michael Gallegos

Patent number: 8157086Abstract: A financial transaction card is packaged within a carrier which contains the card and prevents access to any indicia borne on the card (e.g., magnetic stripe, barcode, and the like) prior to activation of the financial transaction account associated with the card at the point of sale. The package bears no alternative indicia correlated with those borne on the card, and thus only the indicia on the card itself may be used for account activation. Such indicia are exposed at the point of sale by opening a section of the carrier to reveal the actual indicia borne on the card itself. Thus, any breakage of the carrier or other attempts to access the card within the packaging, prior to presentation of the packaged card for activation at the point of sale, is evidence of tampering of the package. In a preferred embodiment, the package is a simple three-panel, partially perforated construction that provides substantial security for the packaged card, at minimal manufacturing cost.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2009Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: Taylor CorporationInventors: Michael Gallegos, Amy Paldi, Shelle B. Pascua, Scott Mitton, Kevin L. Christensen
