A liquid sample packaging device includes a paperboard envelope blank assembled to form a hermetically sealed leakproof containment pocket that, in combination with proper alignment of a liquid containing packette enclosed inside, will prevent leakage in the event the enclosed liquid containing packette fails during mail processing. The device may include coupons printed on the envelope blank and separable by perforations, and may be printed on both sides.

Printed transactional documents are enclosed in a document size-inclusive envelope that gives the appearance of being a traditional windowed envelope in which the send address shows through from the address vehicle page inside, but actually has the address printed on an adhered patch that shows through the window, keeping the data inside more protected and allowing production processes to be more efficient, and the patch or envelope has a serialized identifier that ensures the address printed on the patch and seen in the window corresponds with the document on the inside.

Embodiments include systems and methods to obtain an International Air Transport Association (IATA) license plate number of a checked luggage item of a passenger and queries a database for a primary identifier (PID) that is associated with a security screening image (SSI) of contents of the checked luggage item or a contents list (CL) derived from the SSI, based on the obtained IATA license plate number. The systems and methods de-personalize security screening image (SSI) file sharing data to comprise the PID and a hyperlink to the database or a secondary shared memory location to access the SSI or the CL. The system and method assemble a communication package that includes the SSI file sharing data. The communication package is devoid of personal identifiable information of the passenger. The systems and methods communicate the assembled communication package to an authorized computer workstation associated with a border-crossing country.

Provided is a system and method of optical character recognition of a bag tag, the method including: a) obtaining, by at least one of at least one processor, image data representative of at least one image of printed passenger information associated with an airline travel carrier on an originating hardcopy bag tag or a printed instrument comprising at least a portion of the printed passenger information on the originating hardcopy bag tag to create a digital passenger information (DPI) data record linked to the airline travel carrier, wherein the originating hardcopy bag tag is issued for a luggage item of a passenger, and wherein the DPI data record comprises an International Air Transport Association (IATA) license plate number, a passenger name record (PNR) number, an airline code, an airline name, a name of the passenger, or any combination thereof; b) accessing, by at least one of the at least one processor, passenger return flight information from a computer system associated with the airline travel carrier, based on the DPI data record; and c) printing, by a printing device, a return leg travel IATA bag tag for a return flight associated with the passenger return flight information.

Provided is a system and method for creating a luggage manifest using a b-type message and a passenger name record number, the method including: a) identifying, by at least one of at least one processor, a baggage source message (BSM) associated with an arrival of a luggage item of a passenger, wherein the BSM includes an airport code associated with an airport and travel data of a first mode of travel carrier of the luggage item; b) matching, by at least one of the at least one processor, a passenger name record (PNR) number of the passenger included in the BSM with a PNR number in a manifest for a second mode of travel different from the first mode of travel, wherein the second mode of travel is local to the airport code; c) based on a match being found in b), extracting, by at least one of the at least one processor, an International Air Transport Association (IATA) license plate number from the BSM; and d) creating, by at least one of the at least one processor, a luggage item manifest record for the luggage item, wherein the luggage item manifest record includes the IATA license plate number and the PNR number of the passenger, and wherein the luggage item manifest record is accessible by predetermined electronic acquiring devices configured to scan an originating hardcopy bag tag identifier (OH-BTI) associated with or printed on an originating hardcopy bag tag from the first mode of travel carrier that is attached to the luggage item.

Provided is a system and method of facilitating check-in of a luggage item of a passenger, the method includes: a) obtaining, by at least one of at least one processor, image data representative of at least one image of printed passenger information associated with an airline travel carrier on an originating hardcopy bag tag or a printed instrument having at least a portion of the printed passenger information on the originating hardcopy bag tag to create a digital passenger information (DPI) data record linked to the airline travel carrier, wherein the originating hardcopy bag tag is issued for the luggage item of the passenger, and wherein the DPI data record includes machine-encoded text of an International Air Transport Association (IATA) license plate number; b) accessing a B-type message including a passenger name record (PNR) number of the passenger, by at least one of the at least one processor, using the machine-encoded text of the IATA license plate number from a computer system associated with the airline travel carrier; c) retrieving check-in information of a return flight of the passenger with a designated return travel carrier, by at least one of the at least one processor, using PNR data associated with the PNR number; and d) checking in during a check-in window, by at least one of the at least one processor, the luggage item, the passenger, or a combination thereof, with the designated return travel carrier based on the retrieved check-in information for the return flight.

Provided is a system and method for creating a luggage manifest using a terminating b-type message, the method including: a) identifying, by at least one of at least one processor, a terminating baggage source message (BSM) associated with an arrival of a luggage item of a passenger, wherein the terminating BSM comprises an airport code associated with an airport and travel data of a first mode of travel carrier of the luggage item, and wherein the travel data comprises at least one of flight information, airline information, a name of the passenger, a passenger name record (PNR) number, and an International Air Transport Association (IATA) license plate number; b) matching, by at least one of the at least one processor, any of the travel data in the terminating BSM with travel data in a manifest for a second mode of travel different from the first mode of travel, wherein the second mode of travel is local to the airport code; c) based on matching any of the travel data in the terminating BSM with the travel data in the manifest for the second mode of travel, extracting, by at least one of the at least one processor, the IATA license plate number from the terminating BSM; and d) creating, by at least one of the at least one processor, a luggage item manifest record for the luggage item, wherein the luggage item manifest record comprises the IATA license plate number, and wherein the luggage item manifest record is accessible by predetermined electronic acquiring devices configured to scan an originating hardcopy bag tag identifier (OH-BTI) associated with or printed on an originating hardcopy bag tag from the first mode of travel carrier that is attached to the luggage item.

Various methods and systems include assigning an electronic device to the luggage item of the passenger. They include linking a unique identifier stored in the electronic device to return flight information stored in a manifest for a next mode of travel outside of an airport computing infrastructure. The methods and systems include accessing in the manifest the return flight information with a designated airline carrier to check-in the luggage item of the passenger, the passenger or a combination of the luggage item and the passenger, using the unique identifier as a linking key to the return flight information, in response to receiving a trigger representative of the unique identifier of the electronic device. The methods and systems include checking in the luggage item, the passenger or the combination for a return flight with the designated return flight travel carrier identified in the return flight information.
