Description

  The present invention compactly stores various large-format materials such as maps, event guides for maps, instruction manuals, catalogs, etc., and wraps them in a mailable state. It relates to a package that can be used as an easy-to-use material bag in which these materials are stored in a freely expandable manner.

When mailing large-format materials such as maps as described above, they are usually folded into an appropriate size and stored in a separately prepared envelope. The recipient took out the material as the contents and discarded the envelope as appropriate.
On the other hand, the large-format materials that are the contents are simply folded, and no special cover is provided. If a cover is required, prepare the material, fold it, and then put a dedicated cover. It was affixed so that it was completely separate from the mail envelope.
As a result, resources and labor were wasted.

  From the viewpoint of effective use of resources, envelopes that can be reused as folders or the like (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below), and paper-assembled packaging storage cases for storing clothing, books, etc. (for example, the following patents) Various references have been proposed so far.
