Abstract: A filter pack is formed of a pleated filter section and a channel that forms a frame. The filter section may be formed of a non-woven polymer material which has been pleated. The filter section may have edge banding along at least a portion of its periphery. The filter section may be retained in the frame by an adhesive. One or more filter sections may be combined to form a filter pack. The frame may be continuously formed from an extruded plastic which may be folded to provide a one, two, three or four part frame. The frame may be provided with living hinge and mechanical locking features. A foldable edge band may be provided to allow the joining of multiple filter sections into larger filter packs.
