Abstract: A container knockdown assembly capable of opening into an erected container assembly. The knockdown includes an unopened outer sleeve having first and second outer side panels opposing and substantially parallel to one another when in the knockdown form, and an unopened inner sleeve having first and second inner side panels opposing and substantially parallel to one another when in the knockdown form. The inner sleeve is secured within the outer sleeve in a positional relationship of the assembled container. A cutout is formed in a section of one of the outer corners of the outer sleeve to expose at least a portion of a corner of the inner corner. A container formed from such a knockdown is also provided.

Abstract: A shipping container includes a first wall assembly and a first shelf support member secured to the first wall assembly. The first shelf support member includes a first shelf bearing portion. A second shelf support member is secured to the first wall assembly, and is separate from and spaced apart from the first shelf support member. The second shelf support member includes a second shelf bearing portion. A first slot is defined adjacent to the first shelf bearing portion on the first shelf support. A second slot is defined adjacent to the second shelf bearing portion on the second shelf support. A shelf member includes a first tab and a second tab, the first tab being fixed within the first slot, and the second tab being fixed within the second slot. A portion of the shelf member spans a distance between the first and second shelf support members.

Abstract: A box wrapping assembly and method incorporates a framework having a special top hold-down platen that functions with a cooperating fixture that is affixed to a rotatable turntable. Using this assembly and method, the operator can place four sidewall panels in a self-positioning fixture and panel-capturing platen prior to wrapping. Stretch film is connected to the fixture by a hook device and the stretch film is automatically pre-stretched to a rope of stretched film for particular application where the box contents are intended to be contained within the box under pressure.

Abstract: A container (10) for stackable articles includes a base assembly (20), a plurality of side assemblies (30), a top assembly (70), and a plurality of shelf assemblies (50). The base assembly (20), side assemblies (50), and top assembly (70) are preferably constructed of a multiple layer, corrugated laminate, and are attachable to one another, defining an interior storage space (45). Each shelf assembly (50) includes a plurality of shelf support blocks (52) with a plurality of face sections (53) distributed along a length (37), and a shelf flap (54). The shelf assemblies (50) are secured to the sidewall assemblies (30), and positioned in the storage space (45) to engage manufactured articles, for example sunroofs, positioned therein.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method for producing food product packages which produces packaging having the desirable characteristics of the conventional overwrap food tray with printed film and excellent storage and display characteristics achieved with modified environment packaging. The fresh food products suitable to be packaged by the method include fresh meat, particularly ground beef, fruits, and vegetables, particularly mushrooms. The method has an advantage of using generally conventional tray wrapping apparatus and generally conventional trays and involves the use of a flexible plastic wrap material preprinted and also perforated with microperforations of predetermined size and density to be permeable to air while inhibiting any flow of liquids from the package.
