Abstract: A packing insert includes a panel that defines a periphery, a location inward of the periphery, and a plurality of flaps each defining an outer end and an inner end such that each flap extends inwardly from its outer end to its inner end. Each of the flaps is foldable about its outer end so that the flaps collectively define a void. A first one of the flaps has a second outer end spaced outwardly from the outer end of the first flap. The panel defines at least one frangible portion between the outer end and the second outer end of the first flap. The first flap is selectively foldable about 1) its outer end so as to at least partially define the void, and 2) its second outer end, after breaking the at least one frangible portion, so as to increase a size of the void.

Abstract: A padded mailer includes ribs that provide stiffness, especially in the transverse direction. The increased stiffness helps prevent the mailer from flipping over during conveying, which would put a label on the underside of the mailer.

Abstract: A container includes a single piece of material having panels that are foldable about pre-formed crease lines into an enclosed configuration. The panels include a first base panel for supporting a garment and an insert panel extending from the first base panel and configured to be inserted within the garment. The insert panel is foldable to position the garment over the first base panel. The panels include sidewall panels, a second base panel, and a closure panel. The sidewall panels are foldable relative to the first base panel to form sidewalls of the container. The second base panel extends from one of the sidewall panels and is foldable over the first base panel. The closure panel extends from one of the panels, is foldable relative to the sidewall panels, and carries a fastener for fastening to another one of the panels to maintain the container in the enclosed configuration.

Abstract: A single piece of material that changes from a cuboid to a wedge includes a central panel bounded by four creases and four sidewall panels extending therefrom, respectively. A fold-over panel extends from the second sidewall panel. The third and fourth sidewall panels each define first and second portions sharing a crease angled from the respective third or fourth crease. The central panel, fold-over panel, and sidewall panels define the top, bottom, and sides of the cuboid, respectively, with an interior label. In the wedge: the second sidewall panel and the first portions extend downward from the central panel, the second portions are folded inward from the first portions, the central panel overlies and is inclined at the angle with respect to the fold-over panel, which is attached to the first sidewall panel, and the label is exterior. Each crease is pre-formed in the piece.
