The apparatus further includes a tray having a pocket for receiving the insert and a slot, a deformable segment on the insert, and at least three posts on the insert. Further included is at least one tab on the deformable segment with one of the slots receiving the tab. The slot in the tray and the tab on the insert movably attaches the insert to the tray, the insert being self-aligning to a processing apparatus thereby in conjunction with the posts and allowing for removal of the insert from the pocket.
