Abstract: A storing and dispensing system (10) includes a first sliding element (12) and a sleeve (14). The first sliding element (12) has a base configured to hold at least one article, and the base incorporates a flange portion (71a). The sleeve (14) further includes a first side (16) or (18), an open end, and at least one guide rail (40). The first side (16, 18) is matingly connected to a second side (the other of 16, 18) to form a void for receiving the sliding element (12). The open end is configured to permit the sliding element (12) to translate between a first position and a second position. The at least one guide rail (40) includes a first retaining edge (42), positioned within the void, to cooperatively contact the flange 71a.

Abstract: A lockable container includes a lockable sleeve and a secondary package. The secondary package is configured as a slideable platform that can be stored in the lockable sleeve. The slidable platform includes at lease one receiving flange to hold a primary package. The lockable sleeve and the slideable platform can each have one or more of the engaging mechanism and a receiving mechanism, with reciprocal engaging mechanisms and/or receiving mechanisms being included at the other elements. A release button can be included in the locking assembly to disengage the engaging mechanism form the receiving mechanism.

Abstract: A package (150) includes an inner container (34) and an outer sleeve (56). The inner container includes an inner front panel (16), an inner back panel, and at least two end flaps (20). The inner front panel includes opposite ends and an access aperture (32). The inner back panel includes opposite ends and attached to said inner front panel. Each of said flap is attached to opposite ends of one of the inner panels. The inner panels and flaps are erected and attached to define an internal cavity. The outer sleeve includes an exterior front panel (44) and an exterior back panel (42). The exterior front panel includes an access aperture (54). The exterior panels are erected and attached to define a void for receiving said inner container.

Abstract: An insert package includes an insert and a container. The container is formed by assembling an upper housing member and a lower housing member, thereby creating a void bound by side walls and a closed end. The container includes rails or channels, and an open end with an engageable cover. When the cover is open, the open end provides access to the void. An insert can be passed into container through the open end. The insert is a package for storing and dispensing items, such as a blister card. The insert includes wings and the wings can include lugs or detents. The wings are designed to interface with the rails, to align the insert with the container during storage and dispensing of the items. A retainer in the container, and a retainer receiver on the insert (or vice versa) can selectively immobilize the insert. A release can disengage the insert and allow slideable movement of the insert into and out of the container.

Abstract: Disclosed is a product package which includes a packaging sleeve and a product container. The packaging sleeve has a first end that defines an opening and a closed second end. The sleeve includes at least one pair of locking tabs projecting from the first end, each locking tab including a locking edge and each locking tab being folded inwards into the opening. The product container has a body portion for receiving the product and a rigid end cap which sealingly engages with the body portion so as to house the product. The end cap is dimensioned to fit closely within the opening of the sleeve and includes a peripheral rim that, when the end cap is inserted into the sleeve opening, engages the sleeve end and prevents the end cap from being inserted further into the opening.

The end wall flaps (44) further includes securing apertures (52) for receiving and holding and item (A), as described. A secondary blank (100) has a plurality of foldably attached panels. Here an inner panel (102), a side panel (104), a front panel (106), another side panel (108), and an inner panel (110) are foldably connected along fold lines (112, 114, 116, 118), respectively. The inner panel (102) includes a stop tab receiving channel cutout (120) and the back panel (110) includes a stop tab keyhole (122).

Abstract: Packages that include security features to inhibit tampering or theft are provided. Such packages can include locking elements to secure the packages in a closed configuration or can include active alarm elements to prevent tampering or theft.

Abstract: A package for holding multiple media discs includes a hinged tray assembly, which includes a plurality of disc-holding trays, each tray having a hinge edge. The trays are positioned with respect to each other such that when the tray assembly is in a closed configuration, the trays are arranged in a stack with their hinge edges lined up with each other at a hinge side of the tray assembly. The trays are hinged to each other by a flexible hinge member that is affixed to the hinge edges of the trays. The package further includes a jacket, comprising a plurality of panels that fold around the tray assembly. The jacket includes an interior surface to which a bottom surface of the tray assembly is mounted, the plurality of panels folding around the tray assembly to close the package.
