Card protection system
A system for protecting cards may include, but is not limited to: a sleeve portion including: a first sleeve panel having a rectilinear perimeter; a second sleeve panel having a rectilinear perimeter; and a sleeve perimeter portion, wherein the sleeve perimeter portion is coupled to both the first sleeve panel and the second sleeve panel along at least a portion of at least three sides of the first sleeve panel and the second sleeve panel, respectively, and wherein the sleeve perimeter portion retains the first sleeve panel and the second sleeve panel in a spaced-apart configuration defining a sleeve slot between a fourth side of the first sleeve panel and the second sleeve panel, respectively; and a cap portion configured to be removably coupled to the sleeve portion so as to at least partially cover the sleeve slot.
1. A system for protecting cards comprising:
a sleeve portion including:
a first sleeve panel and a second sleeve panel cooperatively defining a top edge surface, and
a sleeve perimeter portion defining at least one arcuate corner surface;
wherein the sleeve perimeter portion retains the first sleeve panel and the second sleeve panel in a spaced-apart configuration defining a sleeve slot between the first sleeve panel and the second sleeve panel, and
wherein the at least one arcuate corner surface transitions from the top edge surface to a side surface; and
a cap portion including:
a cap edge portion having an underside surface including a planar surface transitioning to a first arcuate surface at a first end of the planar surface and transitioning to a second arcuate surface at a second end of the planar surface; and
a sleeve insert portion projecting from the underside surface, the sleeve insert portion being dimensioned to be insertable into the sleeve slot of the sleeve portion,
wherein the first arcuate surface and the second arcuate surface of the cap edge portion are configured to frictionally engage at least one arcuate corner surface upon insertion of the sleeve insert portion into the sleeve slot.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sleeve insert portion is dimensioned to at least partially frictionally engage an interior surface of the first sleeve panel or the second sleeve panel upon insertion into sleeve slot of the sleeve portion.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the underside surface of the cap edge portion is dimensioned to fully cover the sleeve slot of the sleeve portion when the cap edge portion is brought into contact with the sleeve portion upon insertion of the sleeve insert portion into the sleeve slot.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the underside surface of the cap edge portion contacts only the top edge surface or the at least one arcuate corner surface of the sleeve portion when the cap portion is placed on the sleeve portion.
