  • Patent number: 11844406
    Abstract: A container assembly which is especially adaptable to form a final presentation enclosure is constructed from a flat blank of material, optionally having fold lines delineating a bottom, side, and top wall portions which act in conjunction with one another to enclose a space. The side walls may be connectable by joining portions constituting bellows-type folding members. From flat, the container is constructed by folding. Joining members are folded inwardly thereby drawing up respective side walls to which they are attached. The top walls are formed so as to be exposed at the top of the container to allow securing of the top wall portions by any suitable means. There is also provided a variable volume container by means of the joining members which extend into the interior of the container. The joining members act to center and protect a smaller item within the container or can be completely moved to make available the total volume of the container.

  • Patent number: 11820576
    Abstract: A ventilated container for produce includes a bottom, sidewalls extending upwardly from the bottom, and a rim having a flattened top surface. The sidewalls include at least one ventilation opening located proximate the rim of the container thereby permitting the rim of the container to be generally flat and uninterrupted. The location of ventilation opening(s) proximate the rim of the container allows the flow of rising ethylene gas within the container to exit near the top of the container improving ventilation within the container. A plastic film can be applied over the top of the container and is adhered to the container with an adhesive to form a secure and rigid seal between the film and the container. The flattened surface of the rim improves the adherence between a film and the container to enclose and seal the container, aids the rigidity of the container, and lessens the likelihood of the edges of the rim being bent or folded when pressure is exerted to protect produce provided within the container.
