Abstract
The pocket folder has a closed pocket on the back section with each side of the closed pocket being freely expandable. Flaps that form the ends of the closed pocket are separated by a fold line into two contiguous parts that are hinged to each other to allow expansion of the pocket. The pocket folder is fabricated from a one-piece blank of any suitable material such as paper, paperboard or plastic and has score lines on at least the back section to permit expansion when materials are inserted into the closed pocket.
Claims23
A one piece blank for a pocket folder comprising
- at least pair of contiguous rectangular sections;
- a first extension contiguous to and extending from a horizontal bottom edge of one of said sections for folding over said one section, said extension having a horizontally disposed score line spaced from said bottom edge of said one section, a vertically disposed score line spaced from a side edge thereof and an angularly disposed score line extending from an intersection of said horizontally disposed score line and said vertically disposed score line of said extension to a respective corner of said extension;
- a first flap contiguous to and extending from said extension for folding under said extension with said extension folded over said one section, said flap having a vertically disposed score line intermediately thereof to separate said flap into a first part contiguous to said extension and a second part for folding flat against said one section;
- and
- a second flap extending from said one section for folding under said extension with said extension folded over said one section, said second flap having a vertically disposed score line intermediately thereof to separate said second flap into a first part contiguous to said one section and a second part for folding flat against said extension.
