Abstract

Systems and methods for the packaging of air treatment devices are shown and described. In some embodiments, a package may be configured to store an air treatment device. For example, the air treatment device may be an air filter, cleaner, purifier, or the like. The package may include a first lateral surface configured to accommodate a proximal end of the air treatment device and a second lateral surface configured to accommodate a distal end of the air treatment device. The package may further comprise a middle surface coupled between the first and second lateral surfaces. In some cases, at least a portion of the first or second lateral surfaces may include an opaque area. Moreover, at least a portion of the middle surface may include a transparent or translucent area configured to reveal at least a portion of the air treatment device.

Claims (23)

1. A package, comprising:

a first end portion having a first extruded area configured to accommodate a proximal end of an air treatment device, the proximal end having a cylindrical shape;

a center portion coupled to the first end portion, a dimension of the center portion matching a size of a flange portion of the air treatment device; and

a second end portion coupled to the center portion, the second end portion having a second extruded area configured to accommodate a distal end of the air treatment device, the distal end having a cubic shape, the center portion comprising a hidden shelf configured to rest between the flange portion of the air treatment device and the second end portion.

2. The package of claim 1 , wherein the first end portion, the center portion, and the second end portion each includes one or more transparent surfaces.

3. The package of claim 2 , wherein the one or more transparent surfaces are plastic surfaces.

4. The package of claim 1 , wherein at least one of first end portion, the center portion, or the second end portion includes one or more opaque surfaces.

5. The package of claim 4 , wherein the one or more opaque surfaces are paper surfaces.

6. The package of claim 1 , the hidden shelf having a cuboid shape and configured to store at least one of: a product manual, a specification sheet, an assembly part, a fastener, or a tool.

7. The package of claim 1 , the center portion further comprising a back sleeve configured to rest between the flange portion of the air treatment device and the second end portion.

8. The package of claim 7 , the back sleeve configured to store a replacement flange for the air treatment device.

9. The package of claim 1 , at least one of the first or second end portions configured to swivel around a side in common with the center portion.

10. A package, comprising:

a first end portion having a first extruded area configured to accommodate a proximal end of an air treatment device, the proximal end having a cylindrical shape;

a center portion coupled to the first end portion, a dimension of the center portion matching a size of a flange portion of the air treatment device; and

a second end portion coupled to the center portion, the second end portion having a second extruded area configured to accommodate a distal end of the air treatment device, the distal end having a cubic shape, the center portion further comprising a back sleeve configured to rest between the flange portion of the air treatment device and the second end portion, the back sleeve configured to store a replacement flange for the air treatment device.

11. The package of claim 10 , wherein the first end portion, the center portion, and the second end portion each includes one or more transparent surfaces.

12. The package of claim 11 , wherein the one or more transparent surfaces are plastic surfaces.

13. The package of claim 10 , wherein at least one of first end portion, the center portion, or the second end portion includes one or more opaque surfaces.

14. The package of claim 13 , wherein the one or more opaque surfaces are paper surfaces.

15. The package of claim 10 , the center portion comprising a hidden shelf configured to rest between the flange portion of the air treatment device and the second end portion.

16. The package of claim 15 , the hidden shelf having a cuboid shape and configured to store at least one of: a product manual, a specification sheet, an assembly part, a fastener, or a tool.

17. The package of claim 10 , at least one of the first or second end portions configured to swivel around a side in common with the center portion.
