Abstract: A container is disclosed having a plurality of interconnected panels forming sidewalls surrounding a central space. Flaps extend from lower sidewall edges and fold along fold lines to form a bottom. Support flanges are arranged along upper sidewall edges on oppositely facing sidewalls. The support flanges are oriented at right angles to the sidewalls and provide a support surface allowing the containers to be stacked one atop another without collapsing or nesting within each other. Each support flange is supported by a truss formed by a panel segment extending angularly from the support flange to a support panel biased against the sidewall to which the support flange is attached by a retaining flap extending from an inner sidewall layer. Locking tabs at the ends of each panel segment are received within recesses positioned in sidewall panels perpendicular to the support flanges. The container is transformed from a knockdown formed from a unitary blank.

The support flanges are oriented at right angles to the sidewalls and provide a support surface allowing the containers to be stacked one atop another without collapsing or nesting within each other. Side flanges are attached to each end of the support flanges and to sidewalls joined to the sidewalls having the support flanges. The side flanges each have an angularly oriented fold line which divides the side flanges into facing portions and permits them to fold like a bellows or accordion pleat. The facing portions are adhered together to hold the support flanges in position.

Abstract: A container having an internal corner support for increasing the stacking strength of the container. The container has multiple wall panels. The internal corner support includes first and second panel sections attached pivotally to one another and which are adjacent a corner of the container for providing additional stacking support.

Abstract: A container assembly having a removable display panel formed in a wall panel defined by a separation line along which the display panel is separable from the remainder of the wall panel. A reinforcing panel is secured to the inner face of the wall panel and positioned to overlap at least a portion of the separation line and reinforce the wall panel. The reinforcing panel itself has a separation line along which a removable section is separable from a remainder section. In this manner a section of the reinforcing panel can be removed with the removal of the display panel.

Abstract: A robust, stackable container for shipping goods and for displaying and dispensing the goods at the point of purchase is disclosed. The container has a pull-out panel comprising a portion of a side wall panel which is manually openable to display and dispense the goods. The pull-out panel is defined by a separation line in the wall panel formed by a plurality of perforations and is hingedly attached to the container. Wing flaps located on each end of the pull-out panel extend between the pull-out panel and the container providing side partitions preventing the goods from spilling out of the container when opened. The container wall panels are reinforced with reverse folded reinforcing flaps which strengthen the container to prevent crushing and bursting when stacked. The container is formed from die cut blanks into a knockdown state which can be assembled into the container and filled by automated processes.

Abstract: A container assembly having a removable display panel formed in a wall panel defined by a separation line along which the display panel is separable from the remainder of the wall panel. An insert panel is secured to the inner face of the wall panel and positioned to overlap at least a portion of the separation line and reinforce the wall panel.

Abstract: A container having a shelf member disposed on the top of a side panel of the container. The shelf is further attached to an adjacent side panel of the container through a pull-down member. Assembling the container from a flat knockdown form automatically pulls the shelf into position for use in stacking such containers. A knockdown and a blank for making the container are also provided.

Abstract: A container preassembly which has an inner sleeve in a flat unopened position disposed within an outer sleeve in a flat unopened position. The two sleeves are adapted to form the two ends of the container and are secured together in the aligned relationship of the final open container, thereby allowing the preassembly to be opened into the form of the final container without requiring further adjustment. Once opened, the flaps for forming the container bottom are folded to create a container ready for use. A method of making the container preassembly is also provided.
