  • Publication number: 20030209593
    Abstract: A stackable container formed from a unitary blank pre-cut and pre-scored with an improved design directed at providing material cost savings while achieving stacking stability and related benefits. The container includes a base with two sets of opposing walls. The first set of walls each include a first panel attached at a lower edge to the base and a second panel attached at an upper edge to the first panel and thereby forming at least one stacking tab having a two-ply thickness. The second set of opposing walls each include an outer panel attached to the base; two center flaps, each attached to the corresponding side edge of the first panel thereby forming a corner; and two inner flaps, each attached the corresponding center flap. The container further includes four reinforcement panels, each attached to the adjacent side edge of the corresponding second panel.

  • Patent number: 6443358
    Abstract: A stackable container formed from a single-piece blank pre-cut and pre-scored with an improved design directed at providing material cost savings while achieving stacking stability and related benefits. The container includes a base with two sets of opposing walls. Each wall of the first set incorporates a first panel and a second panel. The first panel is foldably attached at a lower edge to the base and is hinged at an upper edge to the second panel, wherein the upper edge also defines a shoulder. Each wall of the first set further incorporates at least one stacking tab that extends beyond the shoulder. The stacking tabs are two-ply and have a tab base and a sequencing panel. The tab base extend from the first panel and is foldably attached to the sequencing panel, wherein the tab base and the sequencing panel are formed from material cut from the second panel, thereby providing the benefits of two-ply stacking tabs and two-ply walls without expanding size requirements of the blank.
