System having a carousel of buckets configured to induct inventory items into packaging
In one embodiment, a system has a carousel that has a guiderail that forms a loop that has a loading position and an unloading position. The carousel also has a plurality of buckets, each having an upper end and a lower end. The lower end includes at least one bottom wall that is moveable between (i) a transporting configuration where the at least one bottom wall substantially closes the lower end of the bucket and (ii) a discharge configuration where the at least one bottom wall is moved so as to define an opening in the lower end of the bucket. The buckets are supported by the guiderail such that the buckets can be driven from the loading position towards the unloading position in the transporting configuration. The buckets can be transitioned to the discharge configuration so as to unload inventory items at the unloading position into a packaging material.
Visually enhanced tab file system
A tab system for a folder (10a), and a method of making same is disclosed. The tab is enlarged to carry more information/indicia. The visual indicia space (16a), i.e. the viewable space on the front (32a, 36a) of the folder which allows viewing of the enlarged tab is achieve without violating the overall size restrictions (40a) of the file folder. Instead, the front of the folder adjacent to the tab on the back panel, is cut away (32a,34a) to expose a greater portion of the back panel (14a) and allow an increase in visual indicia space. The remaining portion of the front panel, not adjacent to the tab may also be cut away (34a) to allow other enlarged tab files, with offset tabs, (22d, 21a) to be viewable behind the present file.

ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR CREATING FOLDERS AND FOLDER POCKETS FROM PRINTABLE BLANK SHEETS
A printable blank sheet includes a sheet with a first layer and a second layer attached to a bottom side of the first layer. Slit-over-perforation lines extend through the sheet. The slit-over-perforation lines include cuts running through the first layer, and perforations running through the second layer. A folder is cut into the sheet with a periphery of the folder defined by the slit-over-perforation lines.

Method and apparatus for printing on media full bleed
A printable media including a carrier layer, a first envelope and a first adhesive. The carrier layer includes a first surface having a first area and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first envelope includes a third surface, a fourth surface opposite the third surface, and a second area less than the first area. The first envelope is secured to the carrier layer by the first adhesive bonding the fourth surface to the first surface.
Expandable padded mailer
A padded mailer includes a pouch formed by front and rear sheets, each including a bottom edge, a top edge, and opposing side edges. The sheets are connected along their bottom edges and each of their side edges to define an interior space. The top edges of the sheets are unconnected to form an opening into the interior space. The padded mailer also includes a liner disposed in the interior space, including an expandable sheet having a bottom edge, a top edge, and opposing side edges. The bottom edge of the expandable sheet is secured adjacent the bottom edges of the front and rear sheets, and the top edge and the side edges of the expandable sheet are unsecured to the front and rear sheets. Pulling the top edge of the expandable sheet relative to the pouch causes the expandable sheet to expand and increase the thickness of the liner.
MULTI-FILM THERMOPLASTIC BAGS HAVING CONTACT AREAS
One or more implementations of a multi-film thermoplastic bag with a grab zone of contact areas positioned in a high-touch area of the bag. For example, the multi-film thermoplastic bag includes one or more regions of a first film in contact with a second film at one or more contact areas. The grab zone regions of one or more contact areas are located in visible and high-touch areas to provide visual and tactile cues of strength and durability. Moreover, the grab zone regions of one or more contact areas serve to distribute pull and lift forces across a wider area in order to avoid common failures in high-touch areas such as over stretching, punctures, tears, and rips.
Foldable Card Assembly
A foldable card assembly for creating an envelope includes a panel that is selectively manipulated. The panel has a plurality of fold lines. Moreover, the panel is selectively folded along the plurality of fold lines such that the panel forms an envelope and the envelope may be mailed. The panel has a plurality of tabs and each of the tabs engages a card thereby facilitating the envelope to contain the card when the envelope is mailed.
