A corrugated display sign with a main body having an inner surface and an outer surface, with the body including a first portion and a second portion. The sign further includes at least one or more formers, and in some embodiments two or more formers, secured to the first portion of the inner surface of the main body, with the formers each including a tab section that secures the former to the main body, a front body portion with a wing portion, and a back body portion with a wing portion. Further, the second portion of the main body is folded around the first portion and the formers, so as to create an elongated elliptical shape for the sign. The display sign is capable of being erected from a knockdown configuration to an erected configuration by folding the former body portions and the wing, and folding the second portion of the main body around the first portion and the formers.

A corrugated shelf extender having an upper section and a lower section is provided. The lower section is configured to be received by an inner area of a vertical support post. The upper section is configured to extend above the vertical support post so as to provide support for signage or the like. The lower section includes a channel that is configured so as to enable a section of the vertical support post that receives the lower section of the shelf extender to be simultaneously utilized by the shelf extender and one or more mounting lug. The corrugated shelf extender is manufactured from a flat piece of continuous corrugated material by folding the corrugated material so as to fabricate an inner portion and an outer portion. The inner portion includes an upper portion that nests within the outer portion and a lower portion that extends from the outer portion such that the upper section of the shelf extender includes the outer portion and the upper portion of the inner portion and the lower section of the shelf extender includes the lower portion of the inner portion.

A machine for producing paper beverage stirring spoons or sticks, comprises: —a paper feeding station (2, 12), —a processing station (3, 4, 13, 14, 30) to die-cut the paper arriving from the feeding station (2, 12) and to make the spoons or sticks, —a station for removing spoons or sticks (5, 15), to remove and separate the spoons or sticks cut at the processing station (3, 4, 13, 14, 30) from the scrap, —a station for extracting the paper scrap (6, 16), to eliminate the residual scrap generated by the processing station (3, 4, 13, 14, 30), —a treatment station (7, 17), to apply a viscous liquid material based on silicon and hydroxy groups to the spoons or sticks, following the removal of the scrap (6, 16), to evenly coat the spoons or sticks, and—an oven (8, 18) to dry and crystallize the viscous liquid material and to realize the spoons or sticks.

A method of folding a sheet of paper. The method includes folding a strip of paper about in half to form a first folded strip. The method also includes folding the first folded strip about a point that is about two-thirds a length of the first folded strip to form a second folded strip including an exposed portion that is about a third the length of the first folded strip. The method also includes folding the second folded strip about in half to form a third folded strip. The method also includes before folding the third folded strip, applying a spot of glue on the third folded strip. The method also includes folding the third folded strip about in half to form a fourth folded strip.

The invention concerns an elongated protective corner for the transport and/or packaging of products. The corner has at least two non-corrugated paperboard plies combined together to create two perpendicular wings and an apex. The plies form multiple ply sections, and at least one of the ply sections of a given ply overlaps another ply section of the same ply. This overlapping arrangement gives the apex a resistance force of about 100 to about 500 lbs. The thickness of the corner can vary, with each wing being in the range of about 100 to about 250 points, and each ply is made from paperboard having a grammage of about 120 to about 380 g/m.sup.2. The resistance force can be determined by mounting the corner upon two blocks, and applying a force to the apex at a middle of the corner until a fracture is detected.

A target for use in firearm training or target practice. In one embodiment the target is constructed out of a unitary sheet of carboard having anterior and posterior sides, and a plurality of interlocking members. The cardboard can be folded along a center line to bring the anterior and posterior side of the carboard into an overlapping alignment. Once in overlapping alignment the interlocking members of the carboard can be mated to produce a three-dimensional emulation.

Examples of generating media modification marks based on image content are described. In some examples, modification marks for converting a two-dimensional (2D) media to a three-dimensional (3D) shape are generated based on image processing of an image. In some examples, the modification marks are applied to the 2D media.
