Abstract
An easy opening coin package is formed with a rectangular web material consisting of a medially notched first edge overfolded by a tabbed second edge which has been laminated with a discontinuous adhesive strip. The fixed first edge fold is spaced from the variable second edge fold dependent upon the diameter of coin size to be wrapped and the non-adhered thumb tab is brought even with the fixed first edge fold for easy opening of the package subsequent to containment of coins therein.
Claims4
A method of forming a coin package for containment of a cylindrical stack of coins comprising the steps of,
- A. providing a rectangular sheet of a flexible non-resilient web of a length less than that of said stack of coins, and
- B. forming a trapezoidal recess orthogonally to a first lengthwise edge, and
- C. forming a trapezoidal tab orthogonally to a second lengthwise edge, and
- D. laminating a discontinuous adhesive strip adjacent a second lengthwise edge parallel to said first edge of said web, and
- E. overloading of said trapezoidal recess along a fold line spaced from said first edge a distance greater than a width defined by said adhesive strip, and
- F. adhering said discontinuous adhesive strip adjacent said second edge by folding said web along a second fold line parallel to said first fold line wherein the adhesive strip is positioned between said first fold line and said first edge with the trapezoidal tab aligning with the first fold line, and
- comprising a further step of spacing said second fold line relative to said first fold line a distance approximately equal to 1.5 to 1.7 times the diameter of a coin of said stack of coins.
