Abstract: An exemplary, nonlimiting embodiment of the present disclosure provides a box, as well as a method of use for the box, which may be opened and closed without substantially compromising the structural integrity of the box. The box comprises a base, at least four walls, and a segmental lid. The segmental lid comprises a first, second, third, and fourth flap. The first and fourth flaps further comprise a first and second pivotable tab, respectfully. The pivotable tabs are pivotally configurable and are preferably configured to be oriented in substantially opposing directions, relative to one another when the first and fourth flap are disposed in their respective closed or open positions. The method comprises disposing each of the flaps into their closed positions, respectively, such that the box may be subsequently opened without substantially compromising the structural integrity of the box.

Abstract: Problem to be Solved Provided is a packing box that enables to easily release a slit lock in which slits of an insertion piece of an openable lid engage with side flaps connected to openable lid side edge portions of lid side members, even if the interior of a box body of the packing box is tightly filled with a product.

Abstract: Reclosable pour systems useful on any suitable container and containers comprising the reclosable pour systems are disclosed. The system features a pour opening comprising a hinged flap and a tab that enables latchable reclosing and reopening of the pour opening, to allow the pouring of a flowable material contained within the container. A unitary blank capable of being cut and folded to produce a container comprising the reclosable pour system, as well as methods of manufacture and use of a container comprising the reclosable pour system, are also disclosed.

Abstract: Cartons with pour spouts for dispensing materials such as granular or pelletal materials are disclosed. A carton according to the disclosure is easily converted from a closed configuration for storing materials to an open configuration in which a spout is formed for pouring materials from the carton. The carton can also be easily and securely reclosed after being used in the open configuration. When the carton is in a closed configuration, a top panel can be formed from overlapping side top flaps. A front top end flap or panel can be folded under the side top flaps. The front top end flap or panel and portions of the side top flaps can be unfolded to form a spout and thereby place the carton in an open configuration. The spout and the side top flaps can be folded into closed positions after opening the carton in order to place the carton in a reclosed configuration.

Abstract: There is shown and described a pouring element for a package for holding flowable or pourable products, and particularly a cardboard/plastics composite package having a gabletop, said pouring element having a pouring passage, the pouring passage having passage cross-sections of substantially identical areas arranged perpendicularly to its centreline, the outer passage cross-sections of the pouring passage being a product inlet opening and a substantially circular product outlet opening and the product inlet opening having associated with it a flange for connection to the package. To enable improved pouring characteristics to be achieved without having to accept disproportionately large costs and complication in production, provision is made, in the form for application, for the product inlet opening to be of an elongated shape which is not symmetrical in rotation.

Abstract: A carton having a dispensing feature adapted for permitting the removal of articles from within the carton. To erect the carton, a plurality of panels are connected together to define an end of the carton. At least one removable portion is provided in the erected carton and is defined by an endless tear line. The endless tear line includes multiple portions defined in the top wall, one side wall, and end flaps extending from the top wall and the one side wall.

Abstract: A carton blank has a generally half-circular line of perforation extending in the outer top panel and an end panel joined to the outer top panel at a hinge line. The line of perforation has a reduced radius portion which forms a lip in the assembled carton which acts as a closure for the spout. The end panel has an outside free edge not aligned with the main panel top edge so as to expose a portion of the inner top panel thereby allowing for joinder of the inner and outer top panels with fewer glue lines.

Abstract: The invention relates to a boxlike package to be produced by folding and adhesion, which package comprises a dispensing opening provision (8) which is provided at the location of a corner point (7) of the package. The dispensing opening provision (8) is dust-tightly reclosable and is so designed that no wall portions or like obstacles are situated in the dispensing path. The dispensing opening provision comprises an anti push-through panel (14) with anti push-through portions (14a) which prevent the parts (9, 12) which close off the dispensing opening from being pushed into the box interior during the reclosure of the dispensing opening provision (8). The boxlike package may further comprise a look edge (15) which prevents the dispensing opening from being opened unintentionally by shaking or shocks.

Abstract: In a box which is made of cardboard or other rigid material and has a rectangular prism-like shape, one or two opposite faces have an inspection port which is closed with transparent material and is flanked by a graduated scale used to determine, according to the level reached after one or more partial removals, the weight of the short pasta or rice left in the box and any corresponding calories. The removal outlet, closed by a tear-open tab, is provided in one of the two faces that are normal to the face or faces provided with the inspection port and the graduated scale; the handle that makes it easier to grip the box protrudes on the opposite face.

Abstract: A carton with an opening through which the contents can be poured. An opening in an end panel is normally covered by a closure flap connected to the top panel. The flap is maintained in closed position by another flap which includes a tear strip. Removal of the tear strip permits access to the closure flap, enabling it to be opened for pouring. A slot in the end panel receives the closure flap when the closure flap is reclosed.

Abstract: A stackable bulk-material packing or container is disclosed, which can have a simple opening for pouring out the contents. The packing uses a folding-box carton with a bag inside it. The bag has an opening for pouring out the contents. The opening has an annular shoulder and is located behind a removable section of the carton. Removal of this section produces an opening in the carton giving access to the opening in the bag. The removal section of the carton is located at one of the upper corners or one of the upper edges of the carton. Because the removable section of the carton and the opening in the bag are co-located at one of the upper corners or one of the upper edges of the carton, the contents do not exert any pressure on them, and the closure can thus be of a simple design.

Abstract: A carton of the type having; first and second main panels and first and second side panels which are connected to one another so as to articulate between a knocked-down compact configuration and an open sleeve configuration. First and second main flaps hingedly are connected to the first and second main panels respectively and first and second side flaps hingedly connected to the first and second side panels respectively. Each of the flaps has a proximal end adjacent and a distal end remote from its associated main or side panel. Pour spout sub-panels are initially formed as integral parts of adjacent first main and first side flaps and are severable from the remainder of the adjacent first main and first side flaps respectively to form a pour spout in use. The adjacent first main and first side flaps each have marginal edge portions located at their distal end outwardly from the pour spout sub-panels with respect to their associatd first main and first side panels respectively.
