  • Patent number: 8628000
    Abstract: A package comprises a carton and a divider. The carton has a plurality of panels that extends at least partially around an interior of the carton and at least two end flaps respectively foldably attached to respective panels of the plurality of panels. The end flaps are overlapped with respect to one another and thereby at least partially form a closed end of the carton. The divider has a divider panel that at least partially divides the interior of the carton and a securing flap that is connected to the divider panel. The securing flap is positioned between the overlapping end flaps of the carton, whereby the divider is at least partially secured to the closed end of the carton.

  • Patent number: 8567661
    Abstract: A two piece shipping tray having a first unitary blank which provides a bottom panel with opposed end panels and opposed side panels connected by foldable corner gussets and a second unitary blank which provides a two walled cross divider adhered in fixed relation to the bottom panel to provide a knocked-down-flat condition in which the two walled cross divider foldably engages the bottom panel and in which the opposed side panels have a portion of the corresponding foldable corner gussets adhered in fixed relation to the opposed end panels to engage each of the opposed side panels with the bottom panel, which allows the basic configuration of the shipping tray to be manually foldably produced from the knocked-down-flat condition.

  • Patent number: 8033448
    Abstract: A collapsible insert includes a series of adjacent cells. Each cell may include a support surface capable raised to an elevated position above the bottom of the tray by a pair of legs. Each leg may have a lower portion and an upper portion. The lower portion of each leg extends below the support surface and can rest on the bottom of the tray, and functions to raise the support surface to the elevated position. The upper portion of each leg extends above the support surface and is used to divide each cell and partially constrain food product within a cell while the insert is in the erected position and disposed within a tray.

  • Patent number: 6702180
    Abstract: A stereoscopic inner spacer composed of paper materials is disclosed, and the stereoscopic inner spacer is made by using crossing and folding. The stereoscopic inner spacer is put in a packaging carton to provide objects supporting and holding, thereby preventing the objects from damage caused by impacts. Furthermore, the stereoscopic inner spacer has many partitions and is adapted to pack various components having the approximated sizes, thereby preventing the objects from intermixing and avoiding the objects from damage resulted from colliding mutually.

  • Publication number: 20020104778
    Abstract: A packaging blank capable of forming a container having at least two internal compartments comprises in one embodiment a substantially rectangular bottom panel having opposing first and second side panels, a substantially rectangular top panel connected to the bottom panel by the second side panel, and an internal panel connected to the top panel by a first glue flap, wherein the bottom panel typically includes at least one display window. Upon construction the packaging blank provides a container having multiple internal compartments that may be viewable through a plurality of display windows. A method of packaging a product and an associated article comprises in one embodiment the steps of providing a blank, folding the internal panel over the top panel, positioning the article on the internal panel, folding the bottom panel over the internal panel, and securing the container formed by the blank.
