Abstract: A closed package for grouping a plurality of objects such as beverage containers comprises a first part having a central zone defining a horizontal wall and two other zones defining first and second generally vertical opposite walls, a second part which is separate from the first part and has a central zone defining another horizontal wall and two other zones defining third and fourth generally vertical opposite walls and connecting the first generally vertical wall to the second generally vertical wall in assembled condition, and a locking element provided in the region of two opposite ends of one of the parts and in the central zone of the other of the parts and locking the parts with one another.

Abstract: An outer pack for wrapping around at least one object has a top panel, two side panels, two base panel sections at least partially overlapping one another and forming a base, and a structure for connecting the base panel sections with one another. The connecting structure includes a plurality of hook-shaped closure elements provided in one of the base panel sections and composed substantially of two sections located one behind the other and including an inner section hinged to the one base panel section along a folding line and interrupted by a cut curving into the one base panel section and forming a projection, and an outer section hinged to the inner section along a further folding line with both sections having a substantially trapezoidal shape.

Abstract: Packaging of the tube type has a bottom wall (100) constituted by a single piece. In the bottom region of an end opening, a continuous skirting (101, 102) is hinged to the bottom and is connected laterally to adjacent portions of the packaging (300, 110) by flaps (103, 104) for holding the skirting in an upright position. At least one locking tab (410, 412) projects from an end edge of one of the walls (400) and includes a central portion (410) together with at least one wing (412). A locking opening (114) is provided in the opposite region of the blank, in the vicinity of a hinge (P3) between another main (100) and a locking flap (110). Each tab is inserted into a corresponding opening by temporarily deforming the associated wing(s). The invention is particularly suitable for providing the outer packaging of primary containers.

Abstract: Carry pack for bottles made from a single-piece board blank which has a top panel, two side panels and two end panels. The side panels are divided up into three sections by oblique folding lines and their free ends are glued to the end panels. As a result, the bottle carry pack can be flattened again after it has been glued together.

Abstract: Pack made from board for packaging one or more objects, with a blank (100) that has a top panel (110), to which two side panels (120, 130) are hinged, and a base panel consisting of two sections (140a,b). One of the base panel sections has tabs (200), while the other one has openings (220, 240) provided to accommodate these tabs. The tab is hinged to the base panel section and can be divided up along a folding line (206), which facilitates insertion in the openings.

Abstract: Pack made from board for packaging a number of objects (60) which have at least one cavity (64) in their base area, the pack forming a wrap-around sleeve (20, 30, 40, 50) that surrounds the objects and has locking elements which project into the cavities. The locking element (100) has at least one flap (102) that is die-cut from the base panel (50) of the sleeve and has a central section (112), which is joined to the base panel (50) by a first folding line (104) and is at least approximately the same size as the cavity (64), as well as two side sections (114, 116) which are located on either side of the central section (112), which are joined to the same by two further folding lines (118, 120) that together with the first folding line (104) form an angle of preferably less than 90.degree., and the length (L) of which is greater than the height (M) of the central section, measured at right angles to the folding line (104).

Abstract: A central panel (1) includes openings (01-04) and two first side panels (2,3) that are located opposite each other, each side panel being connected to the central panel along a folding line (15) and consisting of a middle section and two end sections (2', 2", 3', 3") located opposite each other, each of which is provided with a projecting tab (17) on one edge opposite the folding line; two second side panels that are located opposite each other and each consist of a first section connected to said first section by a second folding line (22) that is essentially parallel to the first one, at least one cut (21) being provided in the area of the second folding line of each second side panel; said tabs and said cuts are positioned in such a way that the blank is folded into an inverted tray shape when said tabs are moved towards said cuts and is held in this shape by folding said second sections against said first sections to lock said tabs and thus to secure said end sections in place.
