ABSTRACT:
A removable tag protector is provided for releasably enclosing a generally planar tag having a predetermine shape with a fold line that separates the tag into front and back sides. The tag protector comprises a base shaped generally as the unfolded tag. The base has an inside face with a front half and a back half so that the tag, when in its unfolded position, can overlie the front and back halves of the base, respectively. The protector further comprises a fold section dividing the front and back halves of the base so that the front and back halves of the base can be folded into an overlapping position when the base is folded along the fold section. A front wall section is located along an outside edge of the front half of the base, and a rear wall section is located along an outside edge of the back half of the base. The protector further comprises an inside front protective section for overlying the front side of the unfolded tag when positioned to overlie the base, and an inside rear protective section for overlying the back side of the unfolded tag when positioned to overlie the base. A cooperating closing mechanism is provided on the front and rear wall sections arranged so that the tag protected can be closed in a releasably fastened position when the front and back halves of the base are folded along the fold section and moved to an overlapping position. In operation, a tag positioned on the base is moved to a folded position in response to the front and back halves being folded to the fastened position, capturing the folded tag inside the folded base with the front and rear protective sections overlying their respective sides of the tag and contained within the fastened and folded base.
