The design parameters for this product are amenable to current production processes and tooling, and the materials specified are commonly available on the commercial level. Due to the QWIKI-PAKS very simple components, it should be no problem to produce from any technical standpoint, and existing assembly lines could be easily adapted for its speedy manufacture well as explore possible variations and modifications to further improve the design of the product.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Can be used for a plethora of organizational needs. Considerations for the Qwiki-pak might prove to be of interest to the developer. For instance, consideration might be given to a version that is made of wood
FIGS. Another packaging according to the invention is illustrated on SHEET 2 of 4. A packaging system that is wide enough to accept school items, birthday items, personal care items and the high alert items all in the same package.
