Bound pad for creating expanded packaging material
The patent US12060211B2 describes a bound pad designed for packaging applications, consisting of a rectangular stack of sheets made from stock material. This stack includes sheets of slit stock material, which are interleaved with non-die cut separator sheets. Each sheet of slit stock material features multiple slits that allow for separation when tension is applied across the length of the slits. The sheets and separators are bound together along one edge, ensuring that the separator sheets are attached to each sheet of slit stock material. The design allows for the sheets to be easily removed and expanded for use, with additional features such as perforations or weakened areas to facilitate this process.
The patent also outlines various characteristics of the bound pad, including the arrangement of slits in rows, the potential for the materials to be recyclable or biodegradable, and the use of adhesive for binding. The bound pad can be integrated into devices like clipboards or folios, making it versatile for different applications. A method for utilizing the bound pad is also provided, which involves pulling a sheet to expand it for packaging, placing an item to be protected, and wrapping it with the expanded material and a separator sheet. This innovative design aims to enhance the efficiency and functionality of packaging materials while promoting sustainability through the use of renewable resources.
