Abstract: A synthetic board is made from a plastic film ply 4, 6 adhered or welded to a parallel array of thin-walled plastic tubes 2. In some versions, the tubes are spaced from each other. In others the tubes are contiguous. This allows the board to curl up more or less depending on the tube packing about the tubes axes but to resist bowing between the ends of the tubes. The board is useful for packaging, display, cladding and insulation. In some versions, a second parallel array 7 lies at 90° to the first and the board is free to fold about the boundary between the two arrays. In this way, runs of cruciform carton blanks can be manufactured. The tubes can contain particulate or gel filling.

Abstract: An 8½ by 11 inch paper sheet construction having a pattern of score and perforated lines formed thereon is provided to the user. The lines form corner tear-away strips, a central panel, left and right side flaps, and top and bottom flaps. The user enters into his computer the desired indicia to be printed on inside surfaces of one or more of the central panel and top and bottom flaps and the desired address indicia to be printed on the outside surface of the central panel, and then has the desired indicia and address indicia printed on the sheet construction by feeding it into his desk top printer. He then tears off the four corner tear-away strips. He next places the desired flat object(s) (such as postcards) he wants to mail on the inside surface of the central panel and folds the two side flaps in, the bottom flap up and the top flap down. A seal is then applied to releasably secure the top flap to the bottom flap.
