Power tool case protection and display system

Abstract

The present invention generally relates to the field of article packaging and particularly, to a power tool case protection and display system. An aspect of the present invention is directed to a power tool case protection and display system, comprising: printed shrink film; and, one or more power tool cases; wherein the printed shrink film at least partially encompasses the one or more power tool cases; wherein the printed shrink film includes one or more visual markers displaying graphic designs which provide information related to the power tool(s).

1 . A power tool case protection and display system, comprising: 
 printed shrink film; and,    one or more power tool cases;    wherein the printed shrink film at least partially encompasses the one or more power tool cases;    wherein the printed shrink film includes one or more visual markers displaying graphic designs which provide information related to the power tool(s).    
   
   
       2 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the printed shrink film is composed of a material which allows for visual ascertainment of the one or more power tool cases.  
   
   
       3 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the printed shrink film is of a thickness which provides a preferred operational tolerance.  
   
   
       4 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the printed shrink film includes one or more cutouts for providing access to features of the one or more power tool cases.  
   
   
       5 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the printed shrink film includes a removal assembly.  
   
   
       6 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the display orientation of the one or more visual markers is based upon a preferred display orientation of the power tool case(s).  
   
   
       7 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein multiple power tool cases are each individually wrapped with a first layer of printed shrink film and are also wrapped collectively as a bundled unit with a second layer of printed shrink film.  
   
   
       8 . A power tool case protection and display system, comprising: 
 printed shrink film; and,    one or more power tools;    wherein the printed shrink film is operationally coupled directly with and at least partially encompasses the one or more power tools;    wherein the printed shrink film includes one or more visual markers displaying graphic designs which provide information related to the power tool(s).    
   
   
       9 . A system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the printed shrink film is composed of a material which allows for visual ascertainment of the one or more power tools.  
   
   
       10 . A system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the printed shrink film is of a thickness which provides a preferred operational tolerance.  
   
   
       11 . A system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the printed shrink film includes one or more cutouts for providing access to features of the one or more power tools.  
   
   
       12 . A system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the printed shrink film includes a removal assembly.  
   
   
       13 . A system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the display orientation of the one or more visual markers is based upon a preferred display orientation of the power tool(s).  
   
   
       14 . A system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein multiple power tools are each individually wrapped with a first layer of printed shrink film and are also wrapped collectively as a bundled unit with a second layer of printed shrink film.  
   
   
       15 . A method for manufacturing a printed shrink film-wrapped product, comprising: 
 identifying a product to be coupled with the printed shrink film;    selecting a material to be used as the shrink film;    establishing a configuration for the shrink film;    determining a graphic design configuration for the shrink film;    applying a graphic design to the shrink film; and,    coupling the printed shrink film with the product.    
   
   
       16 . A method as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the material to be used as the shrink film is selected based upon specified operational tolerances for the material.  
   
   
       17 . A method as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein establishing a configuration for the shrink film includes determining direction of wrapping of the identified product.  
   
   
       18 . A method as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein establishing a configuration for the shrink film includes accounting for a presentation orientation of the identified product.
