The foldable member is movable between a first state, such that the member is co-planar with the first portion and second portion, and a second state, such that the foldable member is not co-planar with the first portion and the second portion. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An emanating device, comprising: a substrate, comprising: a body having a first portion and a second portion; at least one hinge that is disposed along a longitudinal axis of the body and is connected to the first and second portions, wherein the body is movable between a first state, such that the first portion and the second portion are co-planar and are connected via at least one attachment point at a location exclusive of the longitudinal axis, and a second state, such that the first portion is not co-planar with the second portion, and wherein moving the body from the first state to the second state breaks the at least one attachment point and creates at least one void space in the body. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The emanating device of claim 1, wherein the at least one void space is a first void space that is at least partially defined by a first periphery of the first portion and the at least one hinge. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The emanating device of claim 2, wherein the at least one void space further includes a second void space that is at least partially defined by a second periphery of the second portion and the at least one hinge. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The emanating device of claim 2, wherein the at least one attachment point comprises a perforation. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The emanating device of claim 2, wherein the at least one attachment point comprises an adhesive. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The emanating device of claim 2, wherein the body is die cut from the substrate. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The emanating device of claim 1, wherein the substrate comprises an absorbent substrate. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The emanating device of claim 7, wherein the absorbent substrate comprises a cellulosic material, a plastic, a polymer, a fabric, a non-woven substrate, and combinations thereof. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The emanating device of claim 7, wherein the absorbent substrate comprises paper-board. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The emanating device of claim 7 including a volatile active on at least one of the first and second portions, which allows for passive emanation of the volatile active into the surrounding environment. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The emanating device of claim 10, wherein the volatile active includes a fragrance. ### Claim 12 An emanating device, comprising: a substrate, comprising: a first portion; and a second portion, wherein the substrate includes a hinge that is co-axial with a longitudinal axis of the substrate, and wherein in a first state: the first portion-is co-planar with the second portion, and the first and second portions are connected by at least one attachment point at a location exclusive of the longitudinal axis, and wherein in a second state: the first portion is not co-planar with the second portion. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The emanating device of claim 12, wherein the first portion is connected to the second portion at the hinge. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The emanating device of claim 13, wherein in the second state, a first void space is at least partially defined by a first periphery of the first portion and the hinge. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The emanating device of claim 14, wherein in the second state, a second void space is at least partially defined by a second periphery of the second portion and the hinge. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The emanating device of claim 15, wherein the first void space is equal in size to the second void space. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The emanating device of claim 13, wherein the substrate is die cut. ### Claim 18 An emanating device, comprising: an absorbent substrate, which comprises: a body having a porous cellulosic material for absorption of a volatile active, and further including a first portion and a second portion; and at least one hinge provided on a longitudinal axis of the body and connected to the first and second portions, wherein the body is movable between a first state, such that the first portion is co-planar with the second portion, the first portion being connected to the second portion via at least one attachment point at a location exclusive of the longitudinal axis, and a second state, such that the first portion is not co-planar with the second portion. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The emanating device of claim 18, wherein moving the body from the first state to the second state breaks the at least one attachment point and creates at least one void space. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The emanating device of claim 19, wherein the at least one attachment point comprises a perforation.
