A packaging pouch for storing and/or transporting one or more dip tube assemblies is provided. The pouch includes a front side sealably and fixedly attached to a back side along a first sealed edge, a second sealed edge, and a sealed end. The front side and back side define an opening at an end opposite the sealed end. A plurality of welds extend over at least a portion of the length of the pouch from the sealed end towards the opening, wherein generally adjacent welds define cavities for dip tube storage. Individual dip tubes are held separated and out of contact with each other within individual cavities, reducing or preventing generation of particulates or other contaminants. The packaging pouch is sealed to provide additional protection. Related packaging systems and methods are also disclosed.

A blank is provided for making an insert that satisfies the USPS requirement that a flat-sized mail piece be uniformly thick so that any bumps, protrusions or other irregularities do not cause more than ? variance in thickness. In one embodiment, when folded, the blank forms an insert with spacers about a quadrant that receives a good to be mailed. In other embodiments, when folded, the blank forms an insert with sleeves into which goods may be slid, or an insert with sleeves with closed ends and into which goods may be inserted into cutouts in the sleeves.

A two-pocket pouch is provided comprising a first pocket and a second pocket. The first pocket and the second pocket are symmetric about an optionally perforated mirror folding line and are optionally connected. The pouch is suitable for storing consumer articles, in particular loose tobacco. Furthermore, a method for making same is disclosed. The first and the second pockets in their closed position comprise a pocket front wall and a pocket rear wall, wherein an access opening is provided between the upper edges of the pocket front wall and the pocket rear wall. The pocket further comprises a cover flap. The cover flap extends from the pocket rear wall. An extension flap extends from the cover flap. In the closed position of the pouch, the cover flap is folded over the front wall in order to overlie the access opening. In the closed position of the pouch, the extension flap is folded between the pouch front wall and the cover flap. In the closed position of the pouch, the inner surface of the extension flap adheres to the inner surface of the cover flap.

A method for producing fragrance sample delivery paper capable of housing and delivering a plurality of fragrance sample test strips (scent paper, mouillettes, perfume test paper) to be fragrance samples impregnated with perfumes by folding a single piece of rectangular paper, and such a fragrance sample delivery paper are provided. A sheet configured with a first sheet section (first inner-side face, first outer-side face), a second sheet section (second inner-side face, second outer-side face), and a third sheet section (third inner-side face, third outer-side face) is formed into a tri-fold shape. The third sheet section is folded and bonded to the second inner-side face to configure saclike sections, fragrance test strips are inserted into the saclike sections, and the first inner-side face (first outer-side face) and the second inner-side face (second outer-side face) are bonded to form the fragrance sample delivery paper having a plurality of saclike sections.

A method for forming a tubular container for food products and resulting container. The method comprising: folding or rolling a portion of the flexible sheet (3) forming a first tubular body (1); sealing one of the bases (1a) of the first tubular body (1); folding or rolling the rest of the flexible sheet (3) which is not part of said first tubular body (1) concentrically around the first tubular body (1), forming a second tubular body (2) outside the first tubular body (1); and joining part of the final longitudinal end of the inner surface of the second tubular body (2) to part of the outer surface of the first tubular body (1), forming two independent cavities: a first cavity (4) inside the first tubular body (1); and a second cavity (5) inside the second tubular body (2) and outside the first tubular body (1).

A greeting card envelope is provided. The greeting card envelope has a front and a back wherein both the front and the back (through the normal interior pouch) are capable of securing a greeting card. In particular, the front of the envelope may have a first and second securing strip for temporarily holding a greeting card for display and or for easy access and wherein the back of the greeting card envelope may secure the greeting card in a normal manner with a movable securing flap. A user may select between securing the greeting card on the front of the envelope or in the traditional manner on the back of the envelope. Further, a user may even secure two greeting cards with the same envelope.

There is provided a slurry ice containment system, and the method of providing same. This involves impeding separation of liquid and ice components of a slurry ice mixture, and more particularly relates to impeding the separation of liquid and frozen components of a slurry food product mixture, such as, for example, a slurry juice. This can be done by providing catches within a container. These catches may be of various size, shape, structure, and position. These catches hold ice crystal volume in various places within the container to assist in preventing the total volume of ice crystal to rise to the top of a container.
