According to some illustrative embodiments, a protective product is provided that includes: an envelope having a two-layer wall structure, the two-layer wall structure including a) a first outer paper layer, and b) a second inner paper layer, wherein the second inner paper layer includes width-wise positional variations of the side surface of the second inner sheet that cushions items placed within an inner pouch of the envelope, and forms an interior wall of the inner pouch of the envelope and directly contacts the items placed within the inner pouch of the envelope. In some preferred implementations, the width-wise positional variations of the side surface of the second inner paper layer includes pleats, undulations and/or embossments, and, preferably, the pleats, undulations and/or embossments include ridges that extend perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to an outlet of the envelope.
A protective product, comprising:
A method of making the protective product comprising an envelope having a two-layer wall structure, the two-layer wall structure including a) a first outer paper layer, and b) a second inner paper layer, wherein the second inner paper layer includes width-wise positional variations of the side surface of the second inner paper layer that cushions items placed within an inner pouch of the envelope, and forms an interior wall of the inner pouch of the envelope and directly contacts the items placed within the inner pouch of the envelope, comprising the steps of:
An envelope, comprising:
The envelope of any of the preceding claims, wherein the second inner sheet of paper is configured to provide cushioning by providing width-wise positional variations of the side surface of the second inner sheet.
The envelope of any of the preceding claims, wherein the width-wise positional variations of the side surface of the second inner sheet include pleats.
The envelope of any of the preceding claims, wherein the width-wise positional variations of the side surface of the second inner sheet include undulations.
The envelope of any of the preceding claims, wherein the width-wise positional variations of the side surface of the second inner sheet include embossments.
The envelope of any of the preceding claims, wherein the width-wise positional variations of the side surface of the second inner sheet include embossments extending in a direction away from an interior of the pouch.
The envelope of any of the preceding claims, wherein the width-wise positional variations of the side surface of the second inner sheet include embossments extending only in a direction away from an interior of the pouch.
The envelope of any of the preceding claims, wherein the width-wise positional variations of the side surface of the second inner sheet include embossments extending both in a direction away from an interior of the pouch and extending in a direction toward the interior of the pouch.
