BUILT-IN INDICATOR FLAGS
First Claim
1. An indicator integrated into an item comprising:
- at least two separation edges, the first separation edge having a first termination point and a second termination point and the second separation edge having a third termination point and a fourth termination point;
an aperture adjacent to the first and third termination points; and
a score adjacent to the second and fourth termination points,wherein the indicator is separated from the item along the first and second separation edges using the aperture and folded over the score to an open position such that;
at least a portion of the indicator extends beyond a perimeter of the item, anda void, contiguous with the aperture, exists between the first and second separation edges,wherein the indicator is foldable over the score in an inward direction and an outward direction.

Abstract
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide for an indicator integrated into an item. The indicator integrated into the item may include at least two separation edges. The first separation edge may include a first termination point and a second termination point. The second separation edge may include a third termination point and a fourth termination point. The indicator integrated into the item may also include an aperture adjacent to the first and third termination points. Further, the indicator integrated into the item may include a score adjacent to the second and fourth termination points. In certain embodiments, the indicator is separated from the item along the first and second separation edges using the aperture and folded over the score to an open position such that at least a portion of the indicator extends beyond a perimeter of the item. Additionally, a void, contiguous with the aperture, exists between the first and second separation edges. Certain embodiments provide that the indicator is foldable over the score in an inward direction and an outward direction.
