US 12,752,994 B2 · Stored value card and carrier system and method of manufacturing

Abstract

A stored value card and carrier system comprising a carrier and a stored value card. The carrier including first and second panels. The first and second panels may be coupled together to define a chamber therein having four sides. The chamber may be sealed on each of the four sides such that egress to an interior of the chamber is substantially prevented. The stored value card may have activation indicia displayed thereon. The stored value card may have activation indicia displayed thereon. The stored value card may be situated within the chamber and adhered to at least one inner surface of the chamber. Accessing of the activation indicia of the stored value card may necessarily correspond with destruction of at least one of the first and second panels.

A stored value card and carrier system, comprising:

a carrier including first and second panels, the first and second panels coupled together to define a chamber therein having four sides, the chamber being sealed on each of the four sides such that egress to an interior of the chamber is substantially prevented;
and
a stored value card having one or more activation indicia displayed thereon, the stored value card situated within the chamber and adhered to at least one inner surface of the chamber,
wherein the carrier includes a removable pull-tab defined in either the first or second panel, the removable pull-tab at least partially covering the one or more activation indicia of the stored value card, the stored value card directly adhered to the removable pull-tab;
wherein accessing of the one or more activation indicia of the stored value card necessarily corresponds with destruction of at least one of the first and second panels.

A method of manufacturing a stored value card and carrier system, comprising:

situating a stored value card having one or more activation indicia between first and second panels of a carrier;
adhering the stored value card to at least one inner surface of the first and second panels;
defining a removeable pull-tab in either the first or second panel, the removable pull-tab at least partially covering the one or more activation indicia of the stored value card;
adhering the stored value card directly to the removable pull-tab;
and
coupling the first and second panels together to define a chamber having four sides, the chamber being sealed on each of the four sides such that egress to an interior of the chamber is substantially prevented;
wherein when the stored value card is situated within the chamber, accessing of the one or more activation indicia of the stored value card necessarily corresponds with destruction of at least one of the first and second panels.
