Report cover and method of making

Abstract

A report cover (100) is disclosed for securing and protecting a report (12). The report cover (10) includes a front panel (102) and a rear panel (104). Three parallel hinges (22, 24, 26) are formed in the front panel (14). A single hinge (36) is formed in the rear panel (16). The report is secured between the front and rear panels near the first edges (20, 34) of the panels as by staples or other removable fasteners. The front panel (14) is then folded about the hinges to lie parallel to and adjacent the rear panel. The rear panel is captured within a pocket portion (106) which permits limited motion of the rear panel (104) relative to the pocket portion (106). To disassemble the report cover and remove the report therefrom, the pocket portion (106) need only be disengaged from the rear panel (104) providing easy access to the fasteners for removal of the fasteners and removal of the report from the report cover.
