In an exemplary embodiment, an apparatus for a sustainable clip is shown and described. The sustainable clip may be formed from compressed board. The sustainable clip may be formed to provide a functionality that is the same or improved over known clips, while also decreasing manufacture cost and reducing waste associated with those clips.

A support for a folded garment, the support comprising a planar supporting member arranged to support the folded garment and a tab coupled to the planar supporting member. The tab is configured to project from a plane of the planar supporting member. The tab comprises an aperture and the aperture is configured to receive a button of the folded garment so as to hold the folded garment in a position against the planar supporting member.

The present invention relates to a packing support for a shirt, the shirt having a collar defining a collar opening. In one aspect, the packing support comprises a support panel and an under-collar support configured for supporting the folded collar, in use. The support panel has a width defined between respective outermost lateral edges, and the under-collar support extends substantially parallel to the width of the panel and has a width no more than 20% greater than the width of the support panel. In another aspect, the packing support comprises a support panel around which the shirt is folded, in use, and a collar support member configured for supporting the folded collar, in use. The support panel and the collar support member are separate components, connected to one another to form the packing support. The support panel is cut from a corrugated fibreboard sheet material, and the collar support member is cut from a transparent plastics sheet material. The present invention seeks to provide an alternative to shirt packaging of the prior art, and particularly to have less wastage of typically fibreboard sheet material from which the support panel is cut.

An automated system for packaging an item includes a pallet, a packaging station and a controller. The pallet supports both the item and a packaging layer. The package is formed with the packaging layer. The packaging station folds the item and the packaging layer such that the item is enclosed within the packaging layer. The controller controls operation of the system. The item may be for example a textile, a digitally printed textile and/or a garment.

A plastic shipping envelope includes a first plastic sheet and a second plastic sheet, bonded to each other at a bottom edge and at side edges thereof, wherein a chamber is present between inner sides of the first and second plastic sheets, and wherein an access opening is provided at a top side of the shipping envelope, a resealable airtight seal with interlocking sealing strips, one of the interlocking sealing strips being arranged on the inside of the first sheet and the other of the interlocking sealing strips being arranged on the inside of the second sheet, both sealing strips being arranged near the access opening, in a direction transverse to the side edges, and a one-way air valve, fluidly connecting the chamber of the shipping envelope to the outside, such that air can be vacated, when the chamber is closed by sealing the airtight seal, from the chamber to the outside, wherein the first sheet has a flap portion that, with respect to the second sheet, extends beyond the top edge of the second sheet, wherein the flap portion of the first sheet is provided with two vertically spaced apart strips of adhesive material, each arranged in a direction transverse to the side edges, each strip of adhesive material being covered, at its side facing away from the flap portion, by a respective user removable backing, and wherein the flap portion is provided with a perforated tear line, arranged in between the strips of adhesive material.

Provided is a book-type garment organizer placed on apart of a garment such that the garment is folded and arranged, the book-type garment organizer including a body fabricated in a diary shape such that a garment is folded and contained in a preset shape, and an escape preventing member provided on a part of the body to prevent an escape of the garment that has been folded and contained by the body. The body includes a first wing portion fabricated in a preset shape to constitute a surface of the diary shape, a second wing portion fabricated in a quadrangular shape so as to correspond to the first wing portion and to constitute another surface of the diary shape, and a bending portion integrally connected to the first and second wing portions while being interposed therebetween such that the first and second wing portions are bent inward, respectively.

A device (6) for the insertion of flat good units (2, 3, 31) into a transport container (8, 81) includes an insertion module (63) for the insertion of flat good units (2, 3, 31) into a transport container (8, 81), a feed module (61) for feeding flat good units (2, 3, 31) to the insertion module (63), and a first identification module (65) for identifying flat good units (2, 3, 31). The feed module (61) includes a horizontal conveying device (613), by which flat good units can be conveyed along a conveying path. The identification module (65) is configured to determine the identity of a flat good unit.
