Abstract: A lens box for safe storage and transportation of optical lens blanks having vertically spaced apart top and bottom panels; two side walls, opposite closure panels and a plurality of gussets therebetween, all connected to the top and bottom panels and defining an enclosure space therebetween. The gussets are inclined upwardly and inwardly from the bottom panel, tangentially contacting the lens blank restricting the vertical and horizontal movement of the lens blank.The invention also includes a method of packaging an optical lens blank for secure and safe storage, including, providing a lens box having at least inclined side gussets; inserting the lens blank in the box causing the lens blank side wall to contact and frictionally engage the gussets thereby restricting vertical and horizontal movement of the lens blank in the box; and closing the box.

Abstract: A package for an optical lens blank in the form of a parallelepiped carton includes an internal major side panel connected to a bottom major end panel by a foldline and extending generally parallel and adjacent to the front major side panel and an internal major end flap connected to the internal major side panel by a foldline. A strip of non-abrasive material or a surface coating extending over the facing surfaces of said back and internal major side panels.

Abstract: An improved foldably erected dispensing carton particularly for household wrapping materials such as polymeric film, wax paper, metal foil, and the like, wherein the carton embodies a double ply panel having a pressure sensitive adhesive layer interposed between and securing such plies. An aperture is die-cut or otherwise formed in the outer ply to expose a select area of the adhesive, and thereby present a recessed tack spot to which the leading end of the roll can be lightly adhered, and thus prevented from withdrawing into the carton. The double ply panel structure also makes available a folded edge about which the roll material can be dispensed with minimum chance of snagging or binding due to the smooth quality of such edge.
