An adhesive patch and method of use thereof for forming a plurality of stackable items into a vertically stacked load are described. The method may include delivering an aligned stack of items positioned on a pallet for eventual transportation while minimizing the misalignment of the stackable items.

A module clip piece for a module is disclosed. The module clip piece includes at least one protrusion configured to engage at least one groove of a first neighboring module clip piece. The at least one protrusion protrudes in a first direction. At least one groove is coupled to the at least one protrusion and is configured to engage at least one protrusion of a second neighboring module clip piece. The at least one groove extends in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction.

A system for automatically sealing a plastic bag/enclosure over containers of biological materials carried on a pallet, comprising: a sealing system for automatically sealing a pallet bag enclosing a plurality of containers of biological materials wherein said pallet bag encloses the containers and an atmosphere surrounding the containers, the pallet bag optionally comprising at least one ACM and optionally including a reinforced portion. The pallet bag generally surrounds a number of flats or boxes on pallets containing fruits or vegetables that are sealed with or without a membrane to create an optimally suited atmosphere to control ripening, extend shelf-life, minimize microbial growth, maintain color, and maintain freshness.

A transportable container for flowable bulk goods includes a bottom support and a stretch wrap spirally wrapped around the bottom support and extending vertically in relationship to the bottom support. Bulk goods are disposed within the stretch wrap and at least of portion of the bulk goods are disposed in direct contact with the stretch wrap to squeeze the bulk goods together and generate hoop forces for stabilizing the bulk goods in the transportable container. The transportable container has a shape that varies radially in vertical relationship to the bottom support for adjusting the hoop forces vertically along the transportable container. The varied shape of the transportable container can be, for example, tapered, hour-glass shaped, or pumpkin shaped.

A process for producing and packaging articles of manufacture for creating an array of articles of manufacture. The process may include producing a first article of manufacture comprising a first intensive property and producing a second article of manufacture comprising a second intensive property. The process may also include packaging the first article of manufacture in a first package, and packaging the second article of manufacture in a second package. Each of the first and second packages may comprise a common single source identifier. The first intensive property may be different than the second intensive property. The first package may comprise a first product designation that connotes softness and the second package may comprise a second product designation that connotes strength. The first and second articles of manufacture may be toilet tissue products.

To provide an efficient transportation possibility for mirror units which is reliable and cost-effective in equal measure, end panels are first attached to the end faces of the mirror units such that several of the end panels complement one another so as to form a transport device with which the mirror units can be assembled in order to form a transport unit. The end panels form a support frame, which can be anchored in base rails, in a manner similar to a jigsaw puzzle, the support frame allowing a secure and simple transport of multiple mirror units on a narrow space.

An improved mobile device case with an embedded card holder is provided. The mobile device case may include a card slot recessed into the back of the case and fitted for insertion of a card, such as a credit card. A flexural binder formed from opposite-facing surfaces molded as part of the case flexes the card widthwise and lengthwise such that the forces resisting flexure exerted by the flexed card hold the card in place. One opposite-facing surface, a retainer, may be connected to non-recessed areas of the back of the case that extends over the recessed slot. Another opposite-facing surface is a raised edge on the recessed surface of the interior back of the case bordering both sides and the rear of the recessed slot.

A method for stowing a set consisting of multiple elements in an overpack as well as a set consisting of multiple elements for stowing in an overpack, in which all the elements of the set are arranged in a common overpack in a predetermined sequence and in a predetermined orientation to each other, and a base surface of the overpack corresponds to a base surface of an EUR pallet.
