Abstract

A louver clip for bundling blind slats to be trimmed by a cutdown machine includes first and second enclosures connected by an outwardly extending central portion which accommodates the bunched-up tilt ladder of the collapsed blind. Each of the enclosures is sized to accommodate a stack of slats corresponding to the number that can be accommodated in a cutdown machine opening. The enclosures have ends that are releasably attachable to each other so that the clip can be mounted on or removed from the blind. The louver clip can be mounted to a blind such that the two enclosures straddle the lift cords and tilt ladder of a blind, which prevents the louver clip from falling off. The slats in the louver clip are sufficiently loose such that their edges can be lined up for trimming.
