Implementations of a padded storage container are provided. In some implementations, the padded storage container may include a plurality of padded expandable interior storage compartments, each of which is configured to receive one or more objects therein. In some implementations, the padded storage container may comprise a front wall, a rear wall, a first side wall and a second side wall, a first interior wall and a second interior wall, a bottom wall, an opening used to access the interior storage compartments, and a closure flap to close the opening. In some implementations, the side walls and/or the bottom wall of a padded storage container may be pleated (e.g., accordion pleats). In this way, the padded storage container and its interior storage compartments may be expanded to receive objects therein and/or collapsed to allow for the easy storage of the padded storage container.

A two-way reusable shipping container has a plurality of flexible walls, the walls surrounding an internal cavity when the shipping container is in an open state. A pouch is located on a first wall of the plurality of flexible walls, and is configured to form a pocket into which the walls of the shipping container are collapsed when the shipping container is in a compact state. A closure device is configured to retain the shipping container in the pocket in the compact state. In some embodiments, the shipping container includes inflatable pillows, each pillow being secured to one of the walls. In some embodiments, the pouch inverts when the shipping container is converted between the open and compact states, such that interior surfaces of the pocket when the shipping container is in the open state become exterior surfaces of the pocket when the shipping container is in the compact state.

An assembly for a mailer is described. The assembly supports the mailing of articles such as trading cards and includes an insert defining a set of pockets shaped to receive the articles. The pockets are formed between attachment members of the insert and are arranged adjacent to each other along a length of the insert. Each pocket includes an open end arranged toward an upper end of the insert formed by a terminating edge of the insert. Further, each pocket includes a closed end arranged toward a lower end of the insert and formed by a folded edge of the insert. In one or more implementations, the assembly further includes a backer and a spacer shaped to fit against opposing surfaces of the insert that increase a rigidity and flatness of the assembly.
