Abstract: A method of forming a board into a curved panel, including: providing a cutting tool having a support portion and a cutting portion, the cutting portion having a first cutting edge, and a plurality of second cutting edges disposed adjacent each other and recessed relative to the first cutting edge by a defined offset dimension; placing a corrugated board on the support portion such that a b-facing-layer is disposed facing the support portion, and an a-facing-layer is disposed facing the cutting portion; advancing the cutting portion toward the board such that the first cutting edge cuts completely through both the a-facing-layer and the b-facing-layer of the board, and the plurality of second cutting edges cut completely through the a-facing-layer, but not completely through the b-facing-layer; and, retracting the cutting portion away from the support portion and removing the panel to facilitate further manipulation of the panel into the curved panel.

Abstract: A container includes: a plurality of panels integrally arranged with respect to each other via a plurality of fold, score, or perforated lines, being formed from a fluted corrugated sheet product material, and being foldable to create the container; the plurality of panels having a plurality of planar panels, and a curved panel; the corrugated sheet product material having an inner facing, an outer facing, and a corrugated material therebetween; the inner facing of the curved panel having a plurality of side by side cuts or scores, wherein each of the plurality of side by side cuts or scores pierce at least partially through the inner facing but not through the outer facing; wherein the plurality of side by side cuts or scores extend substantially from one side of the curved panel to substantially an opposing side of the curved panel.

Abstract: The present application provides a carton. The carton may include a first pair of opposed panels and a second pair of opposed panels. The first pair of opposed panels and the second pair of opposed panels may define a closure feature. The closure feature may include a horizontal fold line and a pair of diagonal lines positioned on each of the second pair of opposed panels.
