Health care kits, care packs, and methods therefor
Healthcare kits and care packs are provided. A pack ( 4000 ) can include a container ( 4001 ) and a branding sleeve ( 4002 ). The pack can include a pair of flaps ( 4200, 4800 ) to close each end. The flaps can be prolate spheroid to define a concave end profile when closed and a convex profile when open. Alternatively, a pack ( 700 ) can include a base layer ( 100 ) and selectively detachable pouches ( 701, 702 ). The base layer can selectively fold about the pouches to form a briefcase or suitcase appearance. A fastening extension ( 116 ) can selectively hold the base layer in the closed configuration, or can be used as a hanging loop to hang the pack in an open configuration.

a base layer, the base layer foldable along at least four transverse folding lines;
a first pouch selectively detachable from a first major face of the base layer, the first pouch disposed between a first transverse folding line and a second transverse folding line;
a second pouch selectively detachable from the first major face of the base layer, the second pouch disposed between a third transverse folding line and a fourth transverse folding line; and
a fastening extension;
the base layer defining a first end to fold about the fourth transverse folding line to conceal a bottom end of the second pouch;
the base layer defining a second end to fold about the first transverse folding line atop the first end;
the fastening extension extending distally from the second end, the fastening extension to couple to a second major face of the base layer to retain the pack in a closed configuration.

a second pouch selectively detachable from the first major face of the base layer; and
a fastening extension;
the base layer defining a first end to conceal a bottom end of the second pouch;
the base layer defining a second end to fold atop the first end;
the fastening extension extending distally from the second end, the fastening extension to couple to a second major face of the base layer to retain the care pack in a closed configuration;
detaching the fastening extension from the second major face; and
coupling a fastener of the fastening extension to the first major face to form a hanging loop for the care pack.
