Adjustable tables for use in packaging forming systems and related methods are provided. An adjustable table for use in a packaging forming system can include outer side panels and moveable inner side panels moveably connected to the outer side panels with the outer side panels held stationary relative to the moveable inner side panels. The adjustable table can also include a table top secured to the moveable inner side panels. The table top and the inner side panels are configured to move upwardly or downwardly relative to the outer side panels.

A polyethylene-based thermally-shrinkable film for pack-in box packaging, in which: a product is not damaged due to breakage or looseness of a film during packaging and transportation of the product; because of the low-temperature shrink characteristic, the product is not exposed to excessively high heat during shrink wrapping and power consumption in a shrink tunnel can be reduced; and because of a small thickness of the film, garbage and other wastes can be reduced. The film is a polyethylene-based thermally-shrinkable multilayer film for pack-in box packaging obtained by biaxial orientation in MD and TD and stretching in MD only further after biaxial orientation. Preferably, the film is a polyethylene-based thermally-shrinkable multilayer film for pack-in box packaging in which the film as a whole has a thickness of 25 μm or less.

According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a block of packaged envelopes, comprising: a plurality of envelopes arranged in series, facing one another; a first paper-based rigid sheet at a first end of the series; a second paper-based rigid sheet at a second, opposite end of the series; the plurality of envelopes being located in-between the first and second paper-based rigid sheets; and a binder that extends around the paper-based rigid sheets and the plurality of envelopes located in-between the sheets, to bind the plurality of envelopes in series arrangement, and to form the block of packaged envelopes.

A device (10) for filling a transport container (12) with notes of pecuniary value, has a displacement unit (700) that conveys the notes of pecuniary value into the transport container (12) through a movable frame (16). When the transport container (12) is closed, the displacement unit (700) is in a second operating state in which its cross sectional area is reduced so far that it passes through the partially closed frame (16).

The invention is directed toward a protective sleeve for a comic book comprising a substantially rectangular pocket comprising a front cover panel and a back cover panel, a substantially rectangular flap portion extending from the back cover panel comprising a first crease, an inner panel portion, a second crease, and an outer panel portion. The outer front panel portion has an adhesion area. The pocket has an adhesive strip disposed on the back cover panel. The front cover panel has an opening through which the cover of a comic book can be disposed. The front cover panel is folded over from the back cover panel. The flap portion may be wrapped around the pocket such that the inner front panel portion covers the front cover panel, the outer front panel portion covers the back cover panel, and the back cover panel is secured to the adhesive strip.
