Abstract: A container for storage, transport and dispensing of products. The container is convertible between a first configuration A suitable for storage and transport, and a second configuration B suitable for display. The containers can be interlocked with each other and supported on a support system. A blank for the construction of the container, a support system for the container, and an adaptor for adapting a substantially horizontal shelf to take the containers are also described.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for the manufacture of a packaging material (1; 21) for the production of packaging blanks and packages and comprising the steps of providing at least on surface layer (2, 2′; 22, 22′) in the form of a continuous material web and substantially consisting of cellulosic fibres and applying a distance layer (3; 23) comprising a matrix material and reinforcement fibres thereto so that said surface layer (2, 2′; 22, 22′) is bonded to said distance layer (3; 23). The matrix material in the distance layer (3; 23) is in an expandable state when it is applied to the surface layer (2, 2′; 22, 22′) and is expanded in a separate process step, subsequent to the application step. The invention also concerns expandable packaging materials.
