Abstract: A foldable carton having side walls and end walls hingedly connected together along their side edges, and a bottom panel hingedly connected to the lower edge of each wall. The bottom panels of two adjacent side and end walls are hingedly connected together and the bottom panels of the other two adjacent side and end walls are also hingedly connected together. The bottom panels move from a location between the side and end walls, when the carton is collapsed, to a location perpendicular to the side and end walls when the carton is erected. One of the bottom panels is larger than the others, and overlies and is supported by the other bottom panels when the carton is in erect condition. The larger panel has a hinge line along which it bends during its movement when the carton is folded and unfolded between its collapsed and erect conditions. The hinge line of the larger panel extends at an acute angle to the hinge between the larger bottom panel and its respective carton wall.

Abstract: An eight-sided foldable container having a bottom of the glued-automatic variety is disclosed. The container is constructed from a single sheet of foldable material which comprises eight side panels, a plurality of which are provided with bottom panels which extend angularly downwardly from the side panels via fold lines. These bottom panels are folded inwardly at their respective fold lines toward the center of the formed container such that two pairs are bonded together so as to enable the remaining bottom panels to interlock with and be supported by said bonded bottom panels, thereby forming a container bottom capable of supporting substantial weight, as well as being folded to a relatively flat condition. The blanks used for the construction of the container are also disclosed.

Abstract: A packing container e.g. for sterile milk is manufactured from laminated material which is folded and sealed to the desired container shape. In the seal, cut surfaces facing towards the inside will occur which have to be sealed so as to prevent the central paper layer of the material from absorbing some of the contents. Usually this is done by means of a strip of a plastic material which is impermeable to liquid. When the packing material is sterilized and exposed to high temperatures these strips are often damaged, because the moisture present in the paper layer of the laminate is converted into vapor and penetrates the strip softened by the heat. In accordance with the invention the seal is now ventilated with the help of ducts extending through the seal in such a manner that the vapor can escape to the surrounding air without affecting the sealing strip which thus remains intact and can fulfil its intended sealing function.
