Abstract: The present invention is useful with any variety of bulk container designs that incorporate an internal bag within the container. The present invention uses a simple structure formed in the side walls of the container that will not only hold the bag open within the container during filling, but will also keep the bag attached to the container when the container in emptied. The bag catch assembly includes various cut lines that define a bag catch tab. Additionally another cut line(s) forms a bag retainer slit.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention provide a blank foldable material that may be configured to form a container. When formed, the container is self-locking and includes top panel assemblies that form additional bearing surfaces. The blank is configured to form a container that includes corners having multiple thicknesses. However, despite the multiple thickness of the corner assemblies, the panels are only adhered in one location per corner. The single adhesion/corner arrangement provides a multi-wall corner arrangement that is strong, yet has flexible applications. The single adhesive/corner adds vertical stacking strength and lateral stability between the panels. The unique approach of only adhering at one place per corner is a space and cost saving improvement that maintains a container integrity and usefulness.

Abstract: A blank for a stackable shelf and the shelf formed from it. The blank comprises a substantially rectangular shelf member having side edges and side walls. Each of the side walls has an integral extension. Each of the side walls is attached to its side edge by score lines. Each of the side walls has a height which is perpendicular to its score line. The heights of the side walls are substantially equal. The integral extensions extend into the shelf member and are detachable from the shelf member. Each of the integral extensions has a height which is perpendicular to the score line which attaches its side wall to the shelf member. The height of the integral extension is greater than the height of the side wall. Each of the integral extensions has a transverse score line which divides the extension into an upper and a lower section. The score line is substantially parallel to the score line which attaches its side wall to the shelf member.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a stackable container and container blank. In accordance with the present invention, a single sheet of foldable material is cut and scored to define container blank. The blank includes a bottom panel and a side panel connected with the bottom panel. An end panel is connected with the bottom panel. A top panel is connected with said side panel opposite the bottom panel. Also, a top panel flap is connected with said top panel. The blank further includes a corner first panel that is connected with the end panel. Also, a corner second panel is connected with the corner first panel opposite the end panel. Further, a corner third panel connected with said corner second panel opposite said corner first panel, said corner third panel defining a corner third panel cutout.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a hand-set tray type container with corner posts and the associated container blank. In accordance with the present invention, a single sheet of foldable material is cut and scored to define container blank. The blank includes a bottom panel and a side panel connected with the bottom panel. An end panel is also connected with the bottom panel. An end flap is connected with the end panel opposite said bottom panel. The end flap is connected with the end panel by a pair of spaced apart fold lines. Further, a corner first panel is connected with the side panel. A corner second panel is connected with the corner first panel opposite the end panel. Also, a corner third panel is connected with the corner second panel opposite the corner first panel.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of reducing a container's folding resistance, and improving a container's overall ability to tolerate score line misregister. The method includes forming a container blank having a panel wherein the panel includes a score line. Also, the method includes interposing a relief region along the score line, wherein the score line is aligned with the relief region. The relief region includes a plurality of relief profiles or cuts through the blank/container's material. The relief profiles may be of any geometric shape.
