Abstract

Abstract The multi-pocket container has a row of pockets each side of a central line on which the two rows of pockets are folded so as to be in face to face relation to each other. When opened, the top of the front pockets are near the bottom, that of the intermediate pockets are near the center and that of the rear pockets are near the top of the container. The container is made from a sheet of durable paper material, such as cover or tag material, and has foldable wing portions at each side, the bottom wing portions fold inwardly and upwardly over the inwardly folded top wing portions. The side wing portions form the intermediate and rear pocket while the bottom wing portions form the front pockets. The side wing portions are folded inwardly and the bottom and intermediate wing portions are folded upwardly thereupon. Flaps are cut from the upper wing portions to which the intermediate wing portions are secured by an adhesive material to be hingedly supported independently of the rear hingedly supported pockets.
