The present disclosure relates generally to the bundling of objects for organization, portability, and ease of access and use. More specifically, the present disclosure describes collectibles with bundling strips that may allow for collectibles to bundle to each other. Further, the present disclosure relates to mechanisms that may allow for bundling and unbundling of an array of collectible items to one or more each other or collectors, including, for example, magnetism, temporary adhesion, or hook and eye loops. In some aspects, collectibles may comprise a range of functionality in conjunction with the bundling, including, for example, coupling devices that help a user identify, track, and measure orientation, statistics, and other needs as programmed or set by a user.

A tie includes a band that extends lengthwise from a first end to a second end. The tie also includes a housing, affixed near the second end, with a first opening to receive the first end of the band when the first end of the band is brought toward the housing in a loop. The housing includes: walls that enclose a space and have a stop toward the second end of the band; a first mass in the space; and a second mass placed in the space and between the first mass and the stop. When the first end is inserted into the housing, the first end passes under the first mass and the second mass and exerts a pull on the first mass toward the second mass. When the first mass is pulled toward the second mass, the second mass acts as a spring between the first mass and the stop and prevents the first mass from hitting the stop.

A cable tie includes a band that extends lengthwise from a first end to a second end. The cable tie also includes a housing, affixed near the second end, with a first opening to receive the first end of the band when the first end of the band is brought toward the housing in a loop. The housing includes: walls that enclose a space and have a stop toward the second end of the band; a first mass in the space; and a second mass placed in the space and between the first mass and the stop. When the first end is inserted into the housing, the first end passes under the first mass and the second mass and exerts a pull on the first mass toward the second mass. When the first mass is pulled toward the second mass, the second mass acts as a spring between the first mass and the stop and prevents the first mass from hitting the stop. After the first end is inserted into the housing and when the first end is being pulled out of the housing, due to a force exerted by the second mass to the first mass and the walls, the first mass squeezes the first end against the bottom of the housing and locks the first end in the housing.

A door packing assembly can include a pallet having a plurality of frames positioned thereon. The plurality of frames define an interior area, and a plurality of doors are positioned onto the pallet within the interior area defined by the plurality of frames. In further instances, a door container component can be positioned onto the pallet and the plurality of doors can be positioned within the door container component. In this way, the door container component can have a perimeter surrounded by at least some of the plurality of frames.
