Abstract
A method for handling product enclosures each containing a product and having a through opening. A five panel fiberboard folder is provided that includes first, second, third, fourth and fifth elongate panels each having opposite longitudinally extending sides, one longitudinally extending side of the fourth panel being joined to one longitudinally extending side of the third panel, and the longitudinally extending side of the fourth panel opposite the third panel being joined to one longitudinally extending side of the fifth panel. The fifth panel has a plurality of through cuts between its major surfaces each defining a hook portion of the fifth panel projecting toward a first end of the fifth panel, and the five panel folder has perforations affording separation of the fourth panel from between the third and fifth panels. The product enclosures containing the products are engaged with the hook portions of the fifth panel by inserting the hook portions through the openings in the product enclosures so that the product enclosures are supported along one major surface of the fifth panel. The folder is folded between the sides of the panels so that the first, second, third, and fourth elongate side panels form a longitudinally extending cavity having a rectangular cross section and the major surface of the fifth panel opposite the product enclosures is positioned along one major surface of the first panel within the cavity. The folded folder containing the product enclosures is moved to a different location. The fourth panel is separated from between the third and fifth panels, and the fifth panel and the product enclosures thereon are removed from within the cavity. The fifth panel can have a through aperture adjacent its first end from which it can be hung to display the products in the product enclosures.
