Abstract
The assembly (1) has a plastic sachet (2) containing cosmetic product and enclosed within a paper card (3), where the sachet includes a wall and another wall (5b) with an annular attachment (6) and an opening unit (7), respectively. The card includes two walls (8a, 8b) with a closure device (9) and an opening unit (11). An adhesive fixes the sachet on the card, so that the assembly with the cosmetic product is generally planar so as to be collected, handled, transported, stored and distributed by mail while preserving integrity of the sachet and the dose of fluid product.
Claims17
A mailer system comprising:
- a container having a first geometry with a first perimeter for holding a liquid, the container having a fluid outlet that is opened by cutting a portion of the fluid outlet after shipment, the container having a length dimension and a width dimension, the fluid outlet being positioned at an angle relative to the length dimension;
- a structure for holding the container when the container is shipped, the structure comprising a first section, a second section, and a third section which are folded on to each other when the container is shipped, wherein the container and structure are machinable within an automated mailing system, the third section comprising an aperture in a geometric center of the third section, the aperture aligns and receives the first perimeter of the container when the second and third sections are folded on to each other such that the aperture holds the container within the geometric center of the third section and second section, the aperture comprising a second geometry that mirrors the first geometry of the container, the second geometry comprising a portion mirroring a shape of the fluid outlet;
- the aperture comprising a second perimeter that is larger than the first perimeter of the container;
- each section having removable portions that are detached after shipment of the container and structure such that the container may be removed from the structure after the removable portions are detached from the structure after shipment.

A mailer system comprising:
- a folded planar member;
- a container having a first geometry with a first perimeter that is attached to the folded planar member, the container having a dosage outlet that is opened by cutting a portion of the dosage outlet after shipment, the container enclosing a dosage form, the container having a length dimension and a width dimension, the dosage outlet being positioned at an angle relative to the length dimension;
- the folded planar member comprising a first section, a second section, and a third section which are folded on to each other when the container is shipped, the third section comprising an aperture in a geometric center of the third section, the aperture aligns and receives the first perimeter of the container when the second section and third sections are folded on to each other such that the aperture holds the container within the geometric center of the third section and second section, the aperture comprising a second geometry that mirrors the first geometry of the container, the second geometry comprising a portion mirroring a shape of the dosage outlet;
- the aperture comprising a second perimeter that is larger than the first perimeter of the container, each section of the folded planar member having removable portions that are detached after shipment of the container and folded planar member such that the container may be removed from the folded planar member after the removable portions are detached from the folded planar member after shipment;
- wherein the mailer system is machinable by an automated mailing system which uses at least one drum that bends the mailer system around the drum.

A mailer system comprising:
- a folded planar member;
- a container having a first geometry with a first perimeter that is attached to the folded planar member, the container enclosing a dosage form, the container having a dosage outlet that is opened by cutting a portion of the dosage outlet after shipment, the container having a length dimension and a width dimension, the length dimension being greater than the width dimension, the dosage outlet being positioned at an angle relative to the length dimension;
- the folded planar member further comprising an aperture for receiving the container, and the folded planar member having first section, a second section, and third section which are folded on to each other when the container is shipped, the third section having the aperture in a geometric center of the third section, the aperture aligns and receives the first perimeter of the container when the third section and second section are folded on to each other such that the aperture holds the container within the geometric center of the third section and second section, the aperture comprising a second geometry that mirrors the first geometry of the container, the second geometry comprising a portion mirroring a shape of the dosage outlet;
- the aperture comprising a second perimeter that is larger than the first perimeter of the container;
- each section of the folded planar member having removable portions that are detached after shipment of the container and folded planar member such that the container may be removed from the folded planar member after the removable portions are detached from the folded planar member after shipment;
- wherein the mailer system is machinable by an automated mailing system which uses at least one drum that bends the mailer system around the drum.
