Protective envelope package

A protective envelope package comprising:

• a. a flat blank panel which is foldable to include;
• b. an essentially flat first panel and an essentially flat second panel, said flat first panel and said flat second panel being adapted to receive an object within, when said flat first panel and flat second panels are in a folded condition;
• c. a flexible hinge means joining said flat first panel and said flat second panel and allowing said flat first and flat second panel to be maintained in a folded condition;
• d. a plurality of annular receptacles disposed along the upper and lower peripheral edges of said flat first panel;
• e. a like number of upstanding locking members adapted to engage said plurality of annular receptacles retaining said flat first panel and said flat second panel in a closed condition;
• f. a first plurality of ribs spaced adjacent to one another in parallel configuration along the inside surface of said flat first panel;
• g. a second plurality of ribs spaced adjacent and in parallel configuration along the inside surface of said flat second panel so that said first plurality of ribs and said second plurality of ribs are of a height sufficient to maintain said object in an immovable condition and to cooperate to prevent deformation and unintentional opening of said protective envelope package;
• and
• h. a carrying area to reversibly retain an object.

A protective envelope package comprising:

• b. an essentially flat first panel and an essentially flat second panel, said flat first panel and said flat second panel being adapted to receive an object therein, when said flat first panel and flat second panel are in a folded condition;
• c. a flexible hinge means joining said flat first panel and said flat second panel, said hinge means being integral and continuous with said flat first panel and said flat second panel, and said flat second panel possessing a cut-out and tab along the edge opposing said hinge means, said cut-out to facilitate opening of said protective envelope package, said tab creating an anchor point to seat said protective envelope package into a mailer;
• d. a plurality of annular receptacles disposed along the upper and lower peripheral edges of said flat first panel;
• e. a like number of upstanding locking members, wherein the bases of said upstanding locking members are dimensionally smaller than the area of the cavity of said plurality of annular receptacles so that said upstanding locking members can travel in a back and forth movement, said plurality of annular receptacles adapted to engage said like number of upstanding locking members retaining said flat first panel and said flat second panel in a closed condition;
• f. a first plurality of ribs spaced adjacent to one another in parallel configuration along the inside surface of said flat first panel for providing stiffness along longitudinal lines;
• g. a second plurality of ribs spaced adjacent and in parallel configuration along the inside surface of said flat second panel so that said first plurality of ribs and said second plurality of ribs cooperate to provide stiffness along longitudinal lines and to prevent deformation and unintentional opening of said protective envelope package;
• and
• h. a blister-shaped area to retain an object.
