Abstract

The present invention generally relates to the field of article packaging and particularly, to a power tool case protection and display system. An aspect of the present invention is directed to a power tool case protection and display system, comprising: printed shrink film; and, one or more power tool cases; wherein the printed shrink film at least partially encompasses the one or more power tool cases; wherein the printed shrink film includes one or more visual markers displaying graphic designs which provide information related to the power tool(s).

Claims (32)

1 . A power tool case protection and display system, comprising:

printed shrink film; and,

one or more power tool cases;

wherein the printed shrink film at least partially encompasses the one or more power tool cases;

wherein the printed shrink film includes one or more visual markers displaying graphic designs which provide information related to the power tool(s).

2 . A system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the printed shrink film is composed of a material which allows for visual ascertainment of the one or more power tool cases.

3 . A system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the printed shrink film is of a thickness which provides a preferred operational tolerance.

4 . A system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the printed shrink film includes one or more cutouts for providing access to features of the one or more power tool cases.

5 . A system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the printed shrink film includes a removal assembly.

6 . A system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display orientation of the one or more visual markers is based upon a preferred display orientation of the power tool case(s).

7 . A system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein multiple power tool cases are each individually wrapped with a first layer of printed shrink film and are also wrapped collectively as a bundled unit with a second layer of printed shrink film.

8 . A power tool case protection and display system, comprising:

printed shrink film; and,

one or more power tools;

wherein the printed shrink film is operationally coupled directly with and at least partially encompasses the one or more power tools;

wherein the printed shrink film includes one or more visual markers displaying graphic designs which provide information related to the power tool(s).

9 . A system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the printed shrink film is composed of a material which allows for visual ascertainment of the one or more power tools.

10 . A system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the printed shrink film is of a thickness which provides a preferred operational tolerance.

11 . A system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the printed shrink film includes one or more cutouts for providing access to features of the one or more power tools.

12 . A system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the printed shrink film includes a removal assembly.

13 . A system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the display orientation of the one or more visual markers is based upon a preferred display orientation of the power tool(s).

14 . A system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein multiple power tools are each individually wrapped with a first layer of printed shrink film and are also wrapped collectively as a bundled unit with a second layer of printed shrink film.

15 . A method for manufacturing a printed shrink film-wrapped product, comprising:

identifying a product to be coupled with the printed shrink film;

selecting a material to be used as the shrink film;

establishing a configuration for the shrink film;

determining a graphic design configuration for the shrink film;

applying a graphic design to the shrink film; and,

coupling the printed shrink film with the product.

16 . A method as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the material to be used as the shrink film is selected based upon specified operational tolerances for the material.

17 . A method as claimed in claim 15 , wherein establishing a configuration for the shrink film includes determining direction of wrapping of the identified product.

18 . A method as claimed in claim 15 , wherein establishing a configuration for the shrink film includes accounting for a presentation orientation of the identified product.
