  • Patent number: 12540004
    Abstract: Packaging may include a base box having a cavity to receive a product. Cushioning cells formed as rollover structures are configured to hold the product within the cavity. When the rollover structure rotate away from the cavity, a product support panel raises, thereby raising the product within the packaging. The packaging may also easily fold flat, without the need to remove adhesive, thereby enhancing recyclability.

  • Patent number: 12492056
    Abstract: Packaging with paper posts for securing accessories such as electronic adapters to packaging. Such packaging includes a base panel and a paper post. The paper extends from the base panel and includes two side walls and a top panel. The side walls couple to and extend away from the base panel. The top panel extends between and is joined to the two side walls along fold lines. The top panel is spaced away from the base panel by the side walls. The two side walls taper toward each other in a direction parallel to the base panel and in a direction perpendicular toward the base panel.

  • Patent number: 12214943
    Abstract: A hang tab assembly includes a paper outer layer and inner layer. The outer layer may include a hanging panel, a tear-away panel adjacent to the hanging panel, a first kiss-cut path on an upper surface of the outer layer, and a second kiss-cut path on a lower surface of the tear-away panel, the second kiss-cut path offset from the first. The assembly may include a first adhesive disposed on the lower surface of the tear-away panel, and a second adhesive disposed on a lower surface of the inner layer facing away from the outer layer. The outer layer may include a tear-away portion that tears transversely between offset kiss-cut paths to unseal a sealed package and expose internal paper material to provide visual indication that the package has been unsealed.
