Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to compression packaging and, more particularly, to compression packaging of compressible products in bags that are capable of being compressed.
  • the consumer is not hindered by the compressed state of the particular item and in fact may be reassured by it since not only can they either see a picture or an actually uncompressed item, but they may also find some comfort in knowing that the item has not been damaged, utilize, or exposed to dirt or germs prior to their purchase. While this basic concept seems quite simple, implementation is not so straightforward. To the contrary, simple compression in a practical manner which is economical for all those involved in the distribution cycle and which provides an untainted product to the consumer is attended by a great variety of challenges and problems.
  • bags made from different material are used, including but not limited to such materials as poly vinyl with zipper (non-wired), poly vinyl with zipper (with metallic wire), poly vinyl with zipper (with LID wire), and a combination of poly vinyl with other material like non-woven.
  • Comforters are packed in these bags and zipped while being shipped from factory to the retailer's distribution center to the retail store.
  • Comforters are bulky by their inherent nature since they are filled with either down or down alternative material. Due to their bulkiness it takes a lot of space throughout the supply chain and therefore adds to the cost like freight cost, inventory carrying cost at the warehouse and at the retail store.
  • the present invention includes many aspects and features.
  • a method for compression packaging of a compressible product within a product packaging for commercial distribution and sale includes providing a product packaging comprising: (i) a body portion comprising a base and peripheral sidewall attached to the base, a top edge of the sidewall defining a mouth of the body portion, the sidewall and the base defining an interior containment space for receiving therein a product through the mouth of the body portion; (ii) a lid connected to the body portion for hinged movement relative thereto between an open position, and a closed position in which the lid extends across the mouth; (iii) a first zipper comprising two strips with interlocking projections and a slide, wherein the first zipper is located along the top edge of the peripheral sidewall, and wherein the first zipper is closed or opened by pulling the slide there along, the first zipper securing the lid to the sidewall when the slide thereof is in a zipped position, and permitting hinged movement of the lid for access, through the mouth of the body portion, to the interior space defined
  • the interior space defined by the body portion has a first containment volume for containing a compressible product therein when the slide of the second zipper is in the zipped position thereof, and has a second containment volume that is greater than the first containment volume for containing a compressible product therein when the slide of the second zipper is in the unzipped position thereof.
  • the method of this aspect further includes placing a compressible product, when in an initial condition, through the mouth of the body portion into the interior space defined by the body portion when the slide of the first zipper is in the unzipped position thereof, and when the slide of the second zipper is in the unzipped position thereof; closing the lid and sliding the slide of the first zipper to the zipped position thereof, with the slide of the second zipper remaining in the unzipped position thereof, thereby enclosing and retaining the compressible product within the interior space of the body portion with the compressible product being retained within the second, greater containment volume of the interior space; and compressing the compressible product and retaining the compressible product in a compressed condition relative to the initial condition by sliding the slide of the second zipper to the zipped position thereof, with the slide of the first zipper remaining in the zipped position thereof, thereby retaining the compressible product within the interior space of the body portion with the compressible product being retained within the first, lesser containment volume of the interior space.
