Product holder
A holder for a product package includes a substrate having an inside surface, with opposing end portions of the substrate being folded upwards. The holder also includes a securing member disposed on at least one of the end portions, the securing member configured to secure the product package within the end portions of the substrate. The holder also includes a RFID tag disposed on the substrate.

a substrate having an inside surface, opposing end portions of the substrate being folded upwards;
a securing member disposed on at least one of the end portions, the securing member configured to secure the product package within the end portions of the substrate; and
a RFID tag disposed on the substrate,
wherein the holder generally has a U-shape when the end portions of the substrate are each folded.
2. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is at least partially transparent.
3. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the securing member includes an adhesive.
4. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the RFID tag is disposed on an outside surface of the substrate.
5. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the substrate includes at least two spaced perforations in a first direction along one of a length or a width of the substrate.
6. A holder for a product package, the holder comprising:
a substrate having an inside surface, opposing end portions of the substrate being folded upwards;
a securing member disposed on at least one of the end portions, the securing member configured to secure the product package within the end portions of the substrate; and
a RFID tag disposed on the substrate,
wherein the securing member includes an adhesive disposed on both of the opposing end portions.
7. A holder for a product package, the holder comprising:
a substrate having an inside surface, opposing end portions of the substrate being folded upwards;
a securing member disposed on at least one of the end portions, the securing member configured to secure the product package within the end portions of the substrate;
a RFID tag disposed on the substrate; and
a block disposed on the inside surface between the end portions, the product package configured to rest on the block when disposed in the holder.
8. The holder of claim 7 , wherein the block includes a groove to receive an edge of the product package, allowing the product package to stand upright within the holder.
9. The holder of claim 7 , wherein the RFID tag at least partially opposes the block.
10. A holder for a product package, the holder comprising:
a substrate having an inside surface, opposing end portions of the substrate being folded upwards;
a securing member disposed on at least one of the end portions, the securing member configured to secure the product package within the end portions of the substrate; and
a RFID tag disposed on the substrate,
wherein the substrate includes two spaced folds in a first direction along one of a length or a width of the substrate, the end portions of the substrate being folded upwards along the folds.
11. The holder of claim 10 , wherein the holder includes more than two folds, the end portions of the substrate being folded upwards along any two of the folds.
12. The holder of claim 10 , wherein the folds are generally in a middle of the substrate along the first direction.
13. The holder of claim 10 , wherein the folds extend along substantially an entirety of the substrate in a second direction opposite the first direction.
14. The holder of claim 10 , wherein the folds are substantially parallel.
15. The holder of claim 10 , wherein the length of the substrate is at least double the width of the substrate.
16. A holder for a trackable product package, the holder comprising:
a substrate having an inside surface, and including two spaced folds in a first direction along one of a length or a width of the substrate, ends of the substrate being folded upwards along the folds;
a block disposed on the inside surface between the two folds, the product package configured to rest on the block when disposed in the holder;
an adhesive disposed on a portion of the inside surface between one of the two folds and an adjacent one of the ends of the substrate, the adhesive configured to secure the product package within the ends of the substrate; and
a RFID tag disposed on the substrate.
17. A system for storing a trackable product, the system comprising:
a product disposed in a container, the container including foil; and
a holder for the container, the holder comprising:
a substrate having an inside surface, and including two spaced folds in a first direction along one of a length or a width of the substrate, the folds dividing the substrate into a first portion, a second portion, and a middle portion in between the first and second portions and in between the two folds;
an adhesive disposed on the first and second portions on the inside surface, the adhesive configured to secure the container within the first and second portions; and
a RFID tag disposed on the substrate,
wherein a lower surface of the container is spaced from the middle portion of the substrate when the container is disposed in the holder.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the container is a pouch.
19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the holder further comprises a block disposed on the inside surface between the end portions, the product package configured to rest on the block when disposed in the holder.
20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the block includes a longitudinal slot to receive an edge of the pouch, allowing the pouch to stand upright within the holder.
21. The system of claim 17 , wherein the RFID tag is disposed on the middle portion on an outside surface of the substrate.
