Abstract: A packing box includes a box main body; and an inner plate on which a packing object is fixed. The inner plate is accommodated in the box main body and is kept in a horizontal direction. The inner plate may include a main plate on which the packing object is fixed, a set of first plates which bendably extend from each of first ends of the main plate opposing to each other, and a set of second plates which bendably extend from each of second ends of the main plate opposing to each other. The packing object is desirably fixed at a center of the main plate such that the packing object is not contact with inner walls of the box main body.

Abstract: A packing box for receiving and packing a product (W1; W4) having at least one bent portion is erected from a single sideways-long rectangular base sheet (10; 110). The base sheet includes a plurality of folding lines and slits for initiating the folding of the sheet. The packing box is erected by folding the sheet along the lines and slits. The product can be packed while erecting the box.

Abstract: A method of loading containers in an optimum way on a load-carrying platform of a vehicle calculates moment weight Wi·i which is multiplication of total weight W1 of containers in each row distant forward by i rows from the platform center by i; calculating moment weight W−i·i which is multiplication of total weight W−i of containers in each row distant rearward by i rows from the platform center by i; calculating the bias load ratio in the traveling direction, which is the ratio of the difference |&Sgr;Wi·i−&Sgr;W−1·i| between the total &Sgr;Wi·i of moment weights of rows located forward of the platform center C and the total &Sgr;W−1·i of moment weights of rows located rearward of the platform center C relative to the sum of same (&Sgr;Wi·i+&Sgr;W−i·i); similarly calculating the bias load ratio in the breadth direction; and loading the containers such that the calculated bias load ratio in the trav

Abstract: A method for selecting a container model for component parts capable of selecting the most profitable, optimum container model for component parts such as vehicle component parts is provided. After calculating the total expenses of all different container models, the method selects the most inexpensive, optimum container model by comparing the total expenses in predetermined years thus calculated with each other and with the total expense in predetermined years of a disposable container.

Abstract: In a method and a device enabling any operator even without skill to efficiently, constantly determine an optimum packaging specification of vehicle parts, or the like, various factors possibly damaging articles are presets as protective properties, and at least one of the protective properties is determined for a particular article based on its surface materials, longest size of its dimensions and its weight. Based on the protective property determined, at least one of packaging materials classified in property is determined for packaging the article, then a packaging form is determined from the determined packaging material and the article property, and a packaging order of the determined packaging form is determined according to packaging priorities preset for such packaging forms.

Abstract: A method for selecting a container model for component parts capable of selecting the most profitable, optimum container model for component parts such as vehicle component parts is provided. This method sets a prototype container unit price u, per-use container recovery expense r, annual purchase frequency n, durable period in year y, and annual demand quantity D of each container model other than corrugated containers of each specific component part. Then, for a container model having a durable period shorter than one year, the method calculates the annual container purchase expense C on the basis of the annual demand quantity, next calculates the annual container recovery expense R on the basis of the annual demand quantity, container recovery expense and annual purchase frequency, and next calculates the total expense Z in predetermined years on the basis of the annual container purchase expense C and the annual container recovery expense R.

Abstract: A method of determining a storage charge of a storage rack is capable of determining a reasonable storage charge reflecting the quantity of actual storage in the storage rack. The method determines the storage charge by deducting from the full storage charge a reduction value obtained from a vacancy ratio &agr; that is the ratio of the total volume of vacant storage sections relative to the total volume of all storage sections 2, 12, 22, 32, 33, 42 of the storage rack 1, 11, 21, 31, 41.

Abstract: A foamed laminate sheet 30, method and apparatus for making the foamed laminate sheet 30, wherein a synthetic resin sheet 31 is formed with cuts 33 intermittently and staggeredly extending in a vertical direction and/or in a lateral direction. The synthetic resin sheet 31 with cuts 33 is extended, under tension, into a meshed sheet 32. Then, the meshed sheet 32 may be attached to a foamed sheet 12, to thereby produce the foamed laminate sheet 30. In one embodiment, the extension of the synthetic resin sheet is performed by winding the synthetic resin sheet 31 with cuts 33 over a crown-shaped roller 51.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an article storing bag and manufacturing method thereof that can reduce effects of static electricity, simplify work of storing an article, and eliminate discrepancy between the stored article and the article information displayed on the article storing bag.

Abstract: Adhesive layers and strip layers are formed to alternate with one another on each of opposing surfaces of a pair of label base materials opposing each other. The pair of label base materials are superimposed onto each other such that each of the adhesive layers formed on one of the pair of label base materials overlaps corresponding one of the strip layers formed on the other one of the pair of label base materials.
