Disclosed is a method for packaging an optical lens including two faces and a peripheral edge, at least one of the faces having a convexity marked by a peak point, the method including the following steps: a step of depositing a protective strip made from a rigid material at least partially along the edge, the width of the strip extending beyond the peak point of the convex face of the lens; a step of inserting the lens into an envelope delimited by a wall; a step of positioning the lens in the envelope, such that the protective strip acts as a spacer in order to maintain a distance between the wall of the envelope and the convex face of the lens and thus preventing any contact between the wall and the face.

An improved expandable slit-sheet stock material is configured to aid in temporarily restricting opening of a plurality of slits of the slit-sheet stock material, such as during winding of the unexpanded stock material or during expansion of the stock material. Each slit of the plurality of slits includes one or more un-slit reinforcement portions, such as reinforcement ties, extending fully between opposite longitudinal sides of the slit, and disposed between opposed transverse endpoints of the slit. The reinforcement ties minimize or prevent tearing of the stock material during the winding or expansion. A dunnage conversion system for expanding the slit-sheet stock material includes an expander having a pair of opposed rollers. The rollers engage the stock material to effect breaking of the un-slit reinforcement portions and expansion of the slit-sheet stock material.

A storage container includes: a storage portion having a rectangular bottom portion, a side wall, and a hollow region; positioning members positioning a rectangular plate-like structural body inside the hollow region; positioning members positioning a rectangular plate-like structural body inside the hollow region; and grooves formed in the storage portion, each of the grooves being formed in the inner side surface at an inner corner of the bottom surface, and two of the grooves being formed at two inner corners adjacent to each other. Each of the positioning members is detachably fitted into the storage portion into corresponding one of grooves. Each of the positioning members includes a joint member in contact with one of the grooves and a contact member detachably fitted into each other. The contact member includes an engaged portion, a contact portion, and an intervening portion integrally formed with the contact portion.

The present disclosure is directed to an inflatable-cushion inflation and sealing device. The device includes an inflation assembly configured for insertion between first and second overlapping film plies. The inflation assembly includes a fluid conduit configured to direct a fluid in between the plies to form one or more cushions. The fluid conduit includes a nozzle. The inflation assembly includes a cutting member. The cutting member includes a blade holder with a blade and a blade guard mounted thereon. The blade guard has a safety position in which the blade is covered and a retracted position in which the blade is exposed. Installation of the blade holder onto the inflation assembly automatically positions the blade in the working position with the blade guard retracted. Removing the tray from the inflation assembly automatically positions the blade in the safety position by covering the blade with the blade guard.

A flexible, sterilizable pouch includes a first wall coupled to a second wall and a cavity defined between the first wall and the second wall. The cavity is configured to receive a medical device, and the pouch is configured to seal the medical device within the cavity. At least one of the first wall and the second wall of the pouch includes two layers. Each layer is coupled to the adjacent layer such that a breach in any one layer of the multi-layered wall will not breach the seal of the pouch. A pocket may be formed between the layers of the multi-layered wall and may include a gas under pressure to inflate the corresponding wall to an inflated state.

Disclosed herein is a dunnage conversion machine for converting stock material to dunnage. The dunnage conversion machine includes a converting station and a drive mechanism positioned downstream of the converting station. The converting station includes a dunnage intake and a shaping member. The intake member includes an opening that constricts stock material as the stock material is pulled into and through the intake. The shaping member is positioned upstream of the intake member. The shaping member manipulates the path of the stock material in a way that causes the stock material to begin to bend or curl prior to being pulled into the intake. The drive mechanism receives the stock material and pulls the stock material over the shaping member.

A corner sleeve cushioning device with a rear-end reinforced structure includes first air and second air column surfaces, and a bottom air column surface connected between bottom portions of the first and second air column surfaces. The first, second, and bottom air column surfaces each have a plurality of air columns, and a receiving space is formed therebetween. An inner fixed portion and a rear-end fixed portion respectively bind an inner surface of an outer end of the first air column surface and an inner surface of an outer end of the second air column surface with each other. The rear-end fixed portion is opposite to the receiving space and located at an outer side of the inner fixed portion, so that the corner sleeve cushioning device has a rear-end reinforced structure with a double layer protection formed at an outer side of the receiving space.

An inflatable bag includes a gas cylinder filled with a compressed gas and having a bottle mouth for discharging the compressed gas, a hole-piercing device pressable to pierce into the bottle mouth for letting the compressed gas be discharged out of the gas cylinder, an inner bag surrounding the gas cylinder and the hole-piercing device and having air holes for the passing of the discharged gas, and an inflatable outer bag surrounding the inner bag and inflatable by the gas that is discharged out of the gas cylinder and flows through the air holes of the inner bag. By the above configuration, the inflatable bag is placed in a box around the object to be protected and quickly inflated to form a filling buffer without generating heat, ensuring that the protected object is not easily deteriorated and facilitating recycling and cleaning.

An air-sealed bag with enhanced side and corner protection includes a box body and first protection walls. The box body is formed by a plurality of first air columns and includes two side walls and a bottom wall. The bottom wall is at bottom ends of the side walls and is connected with the side walls. The side walls and the bottom wall form a receiving space. The outer surface of the first air column adjacent to the joint between the side walls forms a chamfered shape. The first protection walls are on the outer side surfaces of the side walls, respectively. Each of the first protection walls includes two first protection portions, and each first protection portion includes a first protection air column. Each of the first protection portions is attached on the first air column of which the outer surface forms the chamfered shape.
