Abstract: A product package includes a frame part provided with a base and walls. Edge parts on the top edge of the walls are folded outwards to form a flat edge section, where the frame part is a recess for product packing. The frame part is preferably a recyclable fiber material and the recess is lined on the inside with a separate inner lining removable from the frame part. The edge section functions as a fastening surface for the inner lining. The inner lining and the edge parts are arranged to form a one-piece and unbroken edge section of the package as a fastening surface for the inner lining. Adjacent edge parts are fastened in a leakproof manner at their ends to each other with a butt seam forming a corner seam and the fastening is reinforced with a reinforcement piece fastened under the corner seam and edge section ends.

Corner posts may be inserted into the corners of the container, extending from the top to the bottom thereof, to reinforce the container for stacking of multiple containers on top of one another. The reinforcing flanges at the bottom end of the container have an upwardly and outwardly sloping support surface, and a tray insert having a marginal edge surface complementary to the support surface is supported on the support surface to form a bottom wall in the container.

Abstract: An infant side carrier with a flexible seat (12) that is surrounded by a soft adjustable frame (74,76) made from conventional safety strap material. The seat's high back, wrap around sides and extended leg openings fully support the infant's torso, hips and thighs. The adjustable frame allows the adult to adjust the shoulder strap separately from the seat. The seat can be adjusted to tailor fit each individual infant. The infant's weight is distributed across a large surface area on the adult's body. The carrier attaches to the adult's body with a wide waist belt (13) and a shoulder strap with a padded shoulder wrap (60). The wide waist belt is joined to the seat at the underside of the belt, creating a seat that does not come between the adult and the infant. The padded shoulder wrap (60) has an elliptical peripheral configuration that utilizes the clavicle bone, shoulder joint and upper portion of the humerus bone.

Abstract: The invention relates to a folding box with self-adhesive seal and a method for sealing the folding box. The folding box has a cover (6) which can be locked in the sealing position at one of its free edges by a mechanical locking (10, 11), flaps (14, 15) that can be folded in under the cover, and contact adhesive strips (17) with covering strips (19) able to be pulled off, for gluing the cover (6) together with the flaps (14, 15). The covering strips (19) have at their free end a tab (19a) that protrudes from the closed folding box. By pulling on the tab (19a), the covering strips (19) can be pulled out laterally under the cover (6) locked in sealing position, in order to glue the cover (6) together with the flaps (14, 15). On perforated tear lines (23), the middle section of the cover (6) can be opened again, without having to undo the adhesive connection in doing so.
