In one embodiment, the adjustable left panel is comprised of a plurality of left panel fold lines and the right panel is comprised of a plurality of right panel fold lines, the plurality of left panel fold lines and the plurality of right panel fold lines for adapting to dimensions of contents inside the notecard. In one embodiment, the trifold panel is made of a material allowing for non-permanent markings.
Claims11
A reusable notecard, comprising:
- a trifold panel having a center panel integrally connected to and located between a pair of outer panels, the center panel and the pair of outer panels each have an interior surface and an exterior surface and wherein at least each of the outer panels in the pair of outer panels are approximately equally sized;
- and
- a reclosable closing mechanism to releasably secure a first panel of the pair of outer panels to a second outer panel of the pair of outer panels when folded over one another, wherein the trifold panel is one in which non-permanent markings may be made, the recloseable closing mechanism comprising:
- a flexible tab, integrally formed into the first outer panel of the pair of outer panels by cutting an approximate half circle through a portion of the surface of the first outer panel, to form a flexible tab, the flexible tab is located off-center in the first outer panel;
- and
- a slit, integrally formed into the second outer panel of the pair of outer panels, and adapted to receive the tab, wherein the slit is sized to receive the widest portion of the tab;
- and
- wherein the flexible tab is moveable between a first position and a second position;
- and
- wherein when in the first position, the flexible tab is flush with the first outer panel and when in the second position, the flexible tab extends outwardly from the exterior surface of the first outer panel for insertion into the slit.
A reusable notecard, comprising:
- a trifold panel having a center panel integrally connected to and located between a pair of outer panels, the center panel and the pair of outer panels each have an interior surface and an exterior surface and wherein at least each of the outer panels in the pair of outer panels are approximately equally sized;
- and
- a reclosable closing mechanism, connected to the trifold panel, to releasably secure a first panel of the pair of outer panels to a second outer panel of the pair of outer panels when folded over one another, wherein the trifold panel is one in which non-permanent markings may be made, the recloseable closing mechanism comprising:
- a fastening member secured to the first panel;
- and
- an opening integrally formed within the second panel and off-centered thereto and adapted to receive the fastening member, the opening comprising:
- a first portion having a substantially circular shape;
- and
- a second portion having a semi-elliptical shape, the second portion integrally connected to and extending perpendicularly outward from the first portion;
- and
- wherein the second panel and the opening are flexible.
