  • Publication number: 20180022523
    Abstract: Containerized goods are packaged for transit using a partial or fully circumferential wrapper about which a tensioned-strap is secured, to form an integrated structural package that facilities rapid loading of a machine magazine or picking platform such as a shelf with pre-oriented articles as well as shipping the units palletized in several tiers for distribution and display. The wrapper may be of sheet wood-fibre origin or other materials, the open wrapper ends permitting clear display of the goods labels. D-cuts into the wrapper provide displaceable tabs, for locating and/or separating the adjoining containers, and further integrating the wrapper with its contents, when strapped to form transit packages, able to withstand the rigors of palletized transit.

  • Publication number: 20130140350
    Abstract: A composite integrated package for withstanding the loads encountered in vigorous transportation comprising a one-sheet blank, which when folded, forms double-walled spacers in the center of the package, calls and base for the package. Substantially identical articles are inserted in compartments formed between the double-walled spacers and the vertical walls, and the base supporting the articles in the compartments. At least one tensioned inelastic binding member contacts and applies a compressive force in a horizontal plane to the side walls and the double-wall center spacers of the package and further compressing the articles to form a stable, unitary, and load-bearing structural unit.

  • Publication number: 20130068829
    Abstract: A composite unitary package for transporting goods in containers includes a wrapper assembly having two side portions extending vertically from a bottom portion and around the outside of a plurality of the containers. Spacers partially or fully extend between certain of the containers, and one or more inelastic tensioned straps extends around the side portions of the wrapper assembly, and compressively binds the side wrapper assembly portions, the spacers and the containers together such that the frictional forces on the combination of wrapper assembly, spacers and containers form a stable, load-bearing package that withstands transportation forces.
