Abstract: An article may include a single piece of material, such as corrugated cardboard, with scores situated such that when folded along the scores a square or rectangular container is formed with first and second adjacent triangular subcontainers. The article may include locking tabs to join the first triangular subcontainer with slots in the second triangular container which results in a near square box. The insert subcontainers complete with 2 bottles are then placed in a box for shipping. The added protection and buffer zones provide additional protection in the event the carton receives a sudden impact such as being dropped.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a container for non-liquid food, such as for popcorn, potato chips or french fries, and has a bottom and an upright peripheral wall which together delineate a cavity for holding the food, as well as a pocket, which is formed from parts of the peripheral wall for holding an object that accompanies the food. In order to prevent an escape of the food located in the cavity and/or a contact of the object in the pocket with the food in the cavity, the invention provides that a lower end of the pocket is formed from a movable peripheral wall part which is delineated by two fold lines diverging upwards in a V shape and a punch line or cut joining the upper ends of the fold lines at a distance from an upper edge of the peripheral wall.

Abstract: An elongate, rectangular box (12, 14, 40, 60, 70, 90, 100) and method for packaging containers (C), wherein the box can be cross-stacked for stable stacking of the boxes, and optimizes utilization of pallet space. Containers (C) are placed in the box in nested, offset relationship in a parallelogram shaped arrangement, and in one embodiment interior corner panels (20, 21) extend angularly across two diagonally opposite corners of the box, defining an interior box shape closely conforming to the parallelogram-shaped arrangement of the containers. The corner panels may be cut from the side walls (18, 19) and folded inwardly and secured at a free edge (28) to an adjacent end wall (16, 17), defining openings (22, 23) in the side wall through which the containers are visible. Side wall segments (24, 25, 26) at the bottom and sides of the opening, in cooperation with the corner panels, retain the containers in place in the box. The box is especially suited for packaging four one-gallon containers.

Abstract: The carrier has a vertical support structure, a pair of foldable receptacles extending from opposite sides of said vertical support structure. The receptacles have automatically unfolding bottom walls. Each receptacle has at least one divider member extending upwardly and laterally from the upper edge of one side-wall of each receptacle to a reinforcing panel secured to said vertical support structure. The dividers and reinforcing panels are formed in a foldable blank from a single sheet of material and need no gluing to secure them to the carrier structure.

Abstract: A container is described, in particular a container for keeping and transporting shoes, which can be used in various relative positions of two preferably equal part volumes of the container, at least one of these positions having a form that is striking and particularly suitable for presentation purposes. The container can preferably be folded up from a flat blank.

Abstract: A shoe box includes a base, a first side wall formed adjacent to the base and being perpendicular to the base, a second side wall formed adjacent to the base and opposite to the first side wall, the second side wall being perpendicular to the base. A third side wall is formed with the base and sandwiched between the first and second side walls and has a first extension extending out therefrom. A fourth side wall is formed with the base and sandwiched between the first and second side walls. The fourth side wall has a second extension extending out therefrom, wherein a free end of the first extension is securely connected to a free end of the second extension to form a baffle across a long side of the shoe box to separate a pair of shoes to be received in the shoe box.

Abstract: A broadsheet for manufacturing a carton for foodstuffs, such as chips, is described, which container comprises a container and a subcontainer for a garnishing, such as mayonnaise. The broadsheet is composed of a primary sheet of material for forming a container and a secondary sheet of material connected thereto for forming a subcontainer. The primary sheet of material is substantially rectangular and, starting from a first corner point, includes at least two folding lines extending to the opposite corner point and to one of the two sides of the rectangle adjacent thereto, respectively, whilst the secondary sheet of material is connected to one of the sides via a folding line and, starting from one of the corner points adjacent to the side in question, extends substantially along half the length of the side. Furthermore, a carton manufactured from the broadsheet is disclosed.

Abstract: A foldable food tray with an integrally formed condiment pocket coextensive with one wall of the tray and defined by a movable partition panel pivotal between a first closed position for foldable collapsing of the pocket with the tray, and a second open position engaged between opposed tray walls to define the pocket and preclude an inward folding of the pocket and tray.

Abstract: A box made of cardboard or similar material is formed from a single-piece, pre-cut, substantially flat blank delimiting four faces joined together along substantially parallel longitudinal fold lines so as, after folding, to form a sleeve whose ends are closed by two end wall panels. A wedging structure is provided for wedging the object inside the box, the wedging structure being formed of a portion of the flat blank extending substantially in the continuation of a first face, to which the portion is connected by a first transverse fold line. The portion has one end adjacent to the first face, and a free end intended to be fixed to a second. The box is suitable particularly for packaging a tube.
