Benefits of technology
The present invention provides a backer card with tabs that can fold and engage with each other to maintain the card in a folded configuration. The backer card has a flat sheet with tabs that extend outward from the sheet. The tabs have a fold line that allows them to fold inwardly. The backer card also has engagement tabs and outer and inner fold lines that allow the tabs to engage with each other when the card is folded. The engagement tabs have cutouts that allow them to engage with a device on the backer card. The technical effects of the invention are a more secure and stable folded configuration for the backer card and improved protection of the device on the card.
Problems solved by technology
These backer cards are typically made of thin plastic, paperboard, cardboard, or the like, which does not offer significant resistance to flexing, drooping or bending of the packaging backer card.
When the device is flexible itself, such as a long, flexible catheter, flexing of the backer card causes the product to also flex or bend.
While stiffeners may be attached to the backer card, such items often protrude from the cards, requiring substantially larger storage and shipping space.

A packaging backer card has features running along at least one edge thereof to create rigidity in the card. The features imparting rigidity may be integral with the backer card and may lie flat, in the same plane as the backer card, in a flattened configuration. The features imparting rigidity may be formed by folding at least a portion of the backer card along at least one side, where one or more tabs may be used to retain and lock the folds in the folded configuration. The folded configuration may create one or more longitudinal fold lines that contribute to reducing the likelihood of flexing, bending or drooping of the backer card. The backer card may be used to secure an item, such as a medical device, thereto.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]Embodiments of the invention relates generally to packaging products. More particularly, the invention relates to a packaging card having one or more rigidity features, such as a click-lock rail, providing additional resistance to flexing or drooping of the packaging backer card.[0002]2. Description of Prior Art and Related Information The following background information may present examples of specific aspects of the prior art (e.g., without limitation, approaches, facts, or common wisdom) that, while expected to be helpful to further educate the reader as to additional aspects of the prior art, is not to be construed as limiting the present invention, or any embodiments thereof, to anything stated or implied therein or inferred thereupon.[0003]When packaging products, such as medical devices, often the device is placed on a packaging backer cards. These backer cards are typically made of thin plastic, paperboard, cardboard...
