Abstract: A hermetically sealed stand-alone paperboard folding carton having barrier properties integrated with a peelable, re-sealable closure. The container includes: a skived and hemmed portion of the laminated paperboard carton; a bottom film strip sealed to the inner side of the bottom carton flaps; and a top film assembly sealed to the inner side of the top carton flaps, the top film assembly comprising a re-sealable closure. The carton uses a flat, die cut, scored paperboard blank having a barrier film laminated to one side of the paperboard; an area of interior glue flap of the cut blank is skived to remove a thickness of paperboard material; a skived area of the blank is hemmed to seal the skived area over the un-skived area of the blank, a strip of barrier film is heat-sealed to the four bottom carton flaps; the bottom flaps are folded and glued; the container is filled; an additional strip of peelable, sealable film is heat sealed to top carton flaps; and the top carton flaps are folded and glued.

Abstract: Packaging for an object such as a digital recording medium that is contained within a plastic molded tray that is mounted on a panel. The tray is molded with extensions from opposite edges of one surface of the tray. Each extension folds to form a peripheral wall along that edge and it engages an element of the tray to permanently lock the extension in place. In their locked positions, the extensions fold around opposite edges of the panel so that the panel is locked in place under the tray.
