Abstract: A method is disclosed for forming a covered cardboard container from a single template. The template is configured such that, when side panels are lifted off the top face of the template, a front panel and rear panel are lifted together with the side panels. The container is formed when the two side panels, the front panel and the rear panel are all in a substantially vertical position. After the container is formed it is filled with product, such as apples, pears, avocados, and the like. The container has two top panels that are folded over the product and adhered to one another to form a lid. Score lines in the top panel allow the container to accommodate products of varying size.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for forming a package of a non-weldable material on a vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machine or a horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) machine. The method comprises providing a continuous web of the non-weldable material having exposed areas of adhesive. In an embodiment the method is implemented on a VFFS machine that has a fill tube designed and configured to avoid interaction with the adhesive exposing areas of the web. In a preferred embodiment the adhesive exposing areas are formed by providing a repeating pattern of sets of apertures in the web, and fully covering each set with a label that is coated with adhesive.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for forming a windowed packaging material. According to the method a web of packaging material is cut in substantially the machine direction along a non-linear path. The cutting action provides two subwebs, each having protruding edge portions and recessed edge portions. The two subwebs are displaced relative to one another so that the protruding edge portions face one another. In this configuration opposing recessed edge portions form windows. The two subwebs are adhered to one another at the opposing protruding edge portions. The resulting windows may be covered with a material that is transparent and/or breathable. A strip of handle material may be applied spanning the respective windows.

Abstract: A greenhouse for growing plants includes a growing area for growing crops and a climate control system for controlling the greenhouse interior climate in the growing area. This control system includes a condenser for dehumidifying greenhouse air, a greenhouse air heat exchanger for heat-exchange between greenhouse air derived from the growing area upstream of the air inlet of the condenser and in the condenser dehumidified greenhouse air downstream of the air outlet of the condenser, a first controllable bypass for allowing greenhouse air to bypass the greenhouse air heat exchanger, a controllable fan, a mixing chamber in fluid communication with the air discharge of the heat exchanger and with the growing area and having a controllable inlet for introducing ambient air from the greenhouse exterior environment, and an outlet having a controlled fan for air in fluid communication with the growing area.
