Advantageous packaging assemblies for use in optical fiber applications are provided. More particularly, the present disclosure provides for improved packaging assemblies (e.g., bandolier-style packaging assemblies) that are configured and adapted to house a plurality of splice-on connector members (e.g., fusion splice-on connector members). The present disclosure provides for improved systems and designs for packaging assemblies for use with splice-on connector members, and where the packaging assemblies are cost-effective, efficient and/or user-friendly. In exemplary embodiments, the present disclosure provides for improved, convenient, low-cost and effective systems and methods for easily packaging a plurality of splice-on connector members for later use (e.g., termination).

In one aspect, an article includes a tag, an elastic panel, and a tab. The tag has a perimeter. The tag includes an aperture and a first cut connecting the aperture and the perimeter. The elastic panel is bonded to the tag. The tab is bonded to the elastic panel at a joint, wherein a portion of the tab is configured for insertion into the aperture.

A packaging system protects and retains all the components of a lighting unit with a resilient binding unit. The packaging system is used for a lighting unit with a first component having a first elongate member and a second component having a second elongate member. It also includes a carrier base with a first and second aperture used to receive and hold the first and second elongate member at a first longitudinal location. The second aperture is located proximate to the first aperture. The packaging also includes a resilient binding element for holding the first and second components with a first and second ring to receive and hold the first and second elongate member at a second longitudinal location, where the second longitudinal location being spaced a distance from the first longitudinal location. The binding element is used to inhibit the first and second components from being longitudinally moved relative to each other.

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.
