Auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch with enhanced moisture control

Abstract

The present invention is directed to novel products designed for both convenient personal storage and transport of botanical materials that offer transport convenience as well as addressing concerns over storage freshness. The storage pouches of the present invention maintain an improved freshness seal by establishing a moisture control edge when the storage pouch is sealed in a closed position. In particular, the auto-latching multi-flex storage pouches provide storage for botanical materials with enhanced moisture control, utilizing this moisture control edge.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch for transporting botanical material with enhanced moisture control comprising
 a pouch formed by the directional folding of a sheet of pre-creased paper;   a sealing flap that overlaps the opening of the pouch through a flap hinge crease located at the intersection of the sealing flap and the sheet of pre-creased paper; and   at least one magnetic sealing closure unit comprising a matching magnetic pair capable of automatically latching the sealing flap wherein the first magnetic pole of the pair is positioned on or in the sealing flap and matches the second magnetic pole of the pair positioned on the sheet of pre-creased paper as to magnetically pair with the first magnetic pole of the pair when the sealing flap is positioned in the sealed position, and   wherein the flap hinge creates a moisture control edge when the flap is in the sealed position, resulting in enhanced moisture control within the sealed pouch.   
     
     
         2 . The auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch of  claim 1  comprising two magnetic sealing closure units. 
     
     
         3 . The auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch of  claim 1 , wherein the first magnetic pole is positioned internally within the sealing flap. 
     
     
         4 . The auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch of  claim 1 , wherein the second magnetic pole of each magnetic sealing closure unit is positioned on the sheet of pre-creased paper as to be visible on the outside of the formed pouch and as to magnetically pair with the first magnetic pole of the pair when positioning the flap in the sealed position. 
     
     
         5 . The auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch of  claim 1 , wherein the second magnetic pole of each magnetic sealing closure unit is positioned on the sheet of pre-creased paper as to not be visible on the outside of the formed pouch and as to magnetically pair with the first magnetic pole of the pair when positioning the flap in the sealed position. 
     
     
         6 . The auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet of pre-creased paper comprises laminated paper. 
     
     
         7 . The auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch of  claim 6 , wherein the laminated paper is characterized by matte lamination. 
     
     
         8 . The auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet of pre-creased paper comprises chromo paper. 
     
     
         9 . The auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet of pre-creased paper is designed to facilitate directional folding multi-flex orientation of the sheet as a cone or funnel suitable for handling or transferring stored botanical material to a rolling paper receptacle. 
     
     
         10 . The auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch of  claim 1 , wherein the pouch formed is a rectangular pouch. 
     
     
         11 . The auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch of  claim 1 , wherein the botanical material is stored in loose form. 
     
     
         12 . The auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch of  claim 1 , wherein the botanical material is stored in rolled form. 
     
     
         13 . The auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch of  claim 1  designed with a slim profile suitable for storage in a pocket. 
     
     
         14 . The auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch of  claim 1 , wherein the paper is characterized by artistic designs. 
     
     
         15 . The auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch of  claim 1 , wherein the paper is characterized by artistic designs useful for marketing. 
     
     
         16 . The auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch of  claim 1 , wherein further comprising one or more features selected from the group consisting of a botanical grinder, a compartment for rolling paper, a compartment for filters, and any combination thereof. 
     
     
         17 . The auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch of  claim 1 , wherein the botanical material is  Cannabis.    
     
     
         18 . A method of advertising comprising the step of placing marketing materials on the auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         19 . The method of advertising of  claim 18 , wherein the marketing materials are placed on the outside of the auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch when the sealing flap is positioned in the sealed position. 
     
     
         20 . The method of advertising of  claim 18 , wherein the marketing materials are placed on the inside of the auto-latching multi-flex storage pouch when the sealing flap is positioned in the sealed position, and is visible upon unfolding of the pouch formed by the directional folding of a sheet of pre-creased paper.
