Abstract: A vertical wall display system for displaying potted plants includes trays that have a base portion and a back portion disposed at an acute angle with respect to each other. The base portion of the tray defines a plurality of niches in a linear array for receiving potted plants, each niche defines a reservoir capable of retaining a predetermined volume of a fluid. The back portion of the tray includes connecting elements for connecting the back portion of one tray with the back portion of a second tray so that the trays are substantially co-planar. Each of the trays define at least two sections that are joined so at to be separable into discrete sections that include different numbers of niches.

Abstract: An improved egg carton for packaging one or more eggs includes an egg holding compartment that maintains the egg in a desired position, and accommodates eggs of variable sizes. A system of packaging eggs utilizing the egg carton of the present invention is also disclosed.

Abstract: An egg carton includes a base and a lid that are hinged together through a web. The base and lid may include side walls extending around the base and the lid, the base including at least one egg cup for receiving an egg but typically around six. The base further includes at least one compartment in the base for containing other ingredients than eggs, such as bacon. The lid and base include co-operating members arranged so that when the lid is closed on the base the co-operating members ensure that there is a gap between the side walls of the lid and base to allow the flow of air into and out of the carton. This ensures that no moisture collects in the carton that can affect the longevity of the eggs and other ingredients.

Abstract: A one piece reclosable container for circular cookies or other cookies or food articles having rounded edges that is easy to use, handle, stack, and/or transport. The container comprises a base and a lid hingedly secured together. The lid and bases define two rows of parallel tubular segments when the lid is in the closed position. Each tubular segment defines a plurality of receptacles configured to receive a plurality of the food articles arranged in a side-by-side manner. The base comprises a plurality of base receptacle members defining the receptacles. Each base receptacle member includes a plurality of base shock absorbers configured to maintain the cookies at an elevation when the container is resting on a surface. The lid comprises a plurality of lid shock absorbers and a plurality of lid receptacle members further defining the receptacles. The containers may also be stackable.

Abstract: Nestable packaging lids are described. Generally, the packaging lids include a generally planar lid member having an upper surface and a lower surface, a plurality of dome expansions extending upwardly from the lid member, and a plurality of elongate projections extending downwardly from the lower surface of the lid member. Each dome expansion defines a downwardly facing recess and includes a base perimeter defining a base center, and the dome expansions are arranged in longitudinal rows and transverse columns. In an implementation, at least one projection is disposed transversely between a longitudinally adjacent pair of dome expansions and at least one projection is disposed longitudinally between a transversely adjacent pair of dome expansions.

Abstract: An egg transport container for transporting and storing a number of eggs has an outer container encompassing the eggs and at least one insert, disposed in the container and removable from the container, for securing at least one egg within the container. As a result of the removability of the insert from the container, the insert, together with the eggs, can be placed directly into a pan for boiling the eggs. A merchandising system provides for those consumers who bring the container to the merchant's for transporting eggs to be purchased, to have their egg purchased discounted due to the savings in packaging and waste management.

Abstract: A packaging tray for transport and storage of product includes a tray portion and a plurality of cover portions. The tray portions is formed from a first sheet material and defined by a plurality of removably connected retail portions. Each retail portion includes a plurality of pockets formed therein, each adapted to receive the product. Each retail portion further includes an outer edge defined substantially about a periphery of the retail portion and at least one tab extending from the outer edge. Each at least one tab is removably connected with at least one tab of an adjacent retail portion along the line of weakening. The plurality of cover portions are formed from a second sheet material and each is configured for removably engagement with one of the retail portions.

Abstract: A multi-surface anti-bacterial protective device for preventing transferring of bacteria from one person to another. The multi-surface anti-bacterial protective device includes a multi-layered material capable of being rolled up and also being capable of being severed into multi-layered pieces of material and also being adapted to fastenably cover a surface such as a light switch plate and a door knob; and also includes an anti-bacterial solution being disposed in the multi-layered material.
