  • Publication number: 20110089170
    Abstract: The present invention is a method and system for forming a packaging with a liner from a single blank. The blank may be shaped to include top, bottom and exterior sidewalls as well as exterior sidewalls of a liner that may include a liner top portion and/or a liner bottom portion. The packaging may be formed by way of folding the blank to shape the top, bottom and exterior sidewalls of the packaging, as well as a liner section, so that the liner section is positioned within the packaging exterior sidewalls. Glue, adhesive or another attachment means may be applied to fixedly retain the formed packaging with the liner in the interior of the packaging. Space between the liner section and the exterior sidewalls may provide a means of cushioning the contents of the packaging.
