         2 . The packaging system of  claim 1  wherein the exposed surface at the open end of the outer sleeve comprises a thickness that is greater than a thickness of the top, the bottom, the first side, and the second side at the closed end of the outer sleeve. 
     
     
         3 . The packaging system of  claim 2  wherein the greater thickness at the open end of the outer sleeve is provided by multiple layers of material. 
     
     
         4 . The packaging system of  claim 2  wherein the thickness of the exposed surface being greater than the thickness of the top, the bottom, the first side, and the second side at the closed end of the outer sleeve. 
     
     
         5 . The packaging system of  claim 1  wherein the outer sleeve is made by folding an unfolded blank, the unfolded blank comprising a first section defining the access hole. 
     
     
         6 . The packaging system of  claim 5  wherein the first section comprises an arm extending away from the first section. 
     
     
         7 . The packaging system of  claim 5  wherein the bottom of the outer sleeve comprises two layers of material, and the unfolded blank further comprises a first side of the two layers, and a second side of the two layers. 
     
     
         8 . The packaging system of  claim 7  wherein the first side of the two layers comprises a first plurality of flaps and the second side of the two layers comprises a second plurality of flaps. 
     
     
         9 . The packaging system of  claim 1  wherein the access hole provides access to one of the first end or second end of the inner package. 
     
     
         10 . A packaging system comprising:
 an inner package having a first end, and a second end;   an outer sleeve having a top, a bottom, a first side, a second side, an open end, and a closed end, the closed end having an access hole;   wherein a length of the outer sleeve is greater than a length of the inner package;   wherein the inner package fits within the outer sleeve;   the open end of the outer sleeve comprises an exposed inner surface;   wherein an outside of the outer sleeve is overlapped with a second layer of material; and   wherein second layer of material is folded around the open end of the outer sleeve and is connected to the exposed inner surface.   
     
     
         11 . The packaging system of  claim 10  wherein the inner package is positioned in the outer sleeve and wherein the access hole provides access to the first end or the second end of the inner package. 
     
     
         12 . The packaging system of  claim 10  wherein the outer sleeve is made from a first layer of material. 
     
     
         13 . The packaging system of  claim 10  wherein the second layer is adhered to exposed inner surface. 
     
     
         14 . The packaging system of  claim 10  wherein the wherein the second layer is connected to the exposed inner surface at a top, bottom, first side and second side of the outer sleeve. 
     
     
         15 . The packaging system of  claim 10  wherein the second layer of material is adhered to the outer sleeve. 
     
     
         16 . The packaging system of  claim 10  wherein the second layer of material folded around the open end of the outer sleeve causes the exposed inner surface of the outer sleeve to have a thickness that is greater than a thickness of the top, the bottom, the first side, and the second side at the closed end of the outer sleeve;
 wherein the thickness of the exposed inner surface being greater than the thickness of the top, the bottom, the first side, and the second side at the closed end of the outer sleeve results in a second inner perimeter at the open end of the outer sleeve being smaller than a first inner perimeter at the closed end of the outer sleeve. 
 
     
     
         17 . The packaging system of  claim 10  wherein the second layer of material folded around the open end of the outer sleeve causes greater friction between the inner package and outer sleeve at the exposed inner surface compared to a friction between the inner package and outer sleeve at the closed end of the outer sleeve. 
     
     
         18 . The packaging system of  claim 10  wherein the second layer of material is at least one of a fiber, plastic, elastomer, fiber tape, mono-oriented polypropylene, PET film, as well as membrane tapes, sheets, laminations, coatings and composite material. 
     
     
         19 . The packaging system of  claim 10  wherein second layer of material comprises at least two flaps which each are folded around the open end of the outer sleeve and are attached to the exposed inner surface. 
     
     
         20 . The packaging system of  claim 11  wherein the first end of the inner package abuts the closed end of the outer sleeve.
