Abstract: A blank for constructing a crush-tolerant container includes a first side panel, a bottom panel, a second side panel, and a top panel coupled together in series. At least one cutout and at least one bridge portion are defined along a first fold line between the top panel and the first side panel. The at least one bridge portion and the at least one cutout are configured to maintain the top panel in a plane spaced above a top edge of the first side panel when the container is formed and the top panel is not under a stacking load, and to allow the top panel to move downwardly such that at least a portion of the top panel is substantially co-planar with the top edge of the first side panel when the container is formed and the top panel is under the stacking load.

Abstract: A cold chain packaging system is disclosed that includes a first enclosure for receiving a payload, a second enclosure for receiving the first enclosure, wherein the first enclosure is adapted and configured to create a moat between an exterior surface of the first enclosure and an interior surface of the second enclosure for receiving a phase change material, a third enclosure for receiving the second enclosure, a plurality of spacer blocks for encapsulating the second enclosure within the third enclosure to create a void barrier between an exterior surface of the second enclosure and an interior surface of the third enclosure, and a fourth enclosure for receiving a phase change material, wherein the fourth enclosure is dimensioned and configured to be received within the second enclosure positioned above the first enclosure.

Abstract: A container includes a base panel. An opposed pair of end panels extends from the base panel at opposite ends of the base panel. A front panel extends from the base panel and extends from a first one of the end panels to a second one of the end panels. A back panel extends from the base panel and extends from the first one of the end panels to the second one of the end panels. The end panels taper so top edges of the front and back panels are either longer or shorter than bottom edges of the front and back panels. Each end panel includes a plurality of overlapping end flaps adhered to one another. The end flaps of each of the end panels are connected to a respective one of the base panel and each of the front and back panel at respective fold lines.

Abstract: A packaging system includes a container with a bottom wall, a first end wall connecting to the bottom wall, a second end wall opposed to the first end wall and connecting to the bottom wall, at least a portion of a first side wall connecting between the first and second end walls, at least a portion of a second side wall opposed to the first side wall and connecting between the first and second end walls, and a plurality of corner walls. At least one corner wall connects the first end wall to the portion of a first side wall.

Abstract: A blank for forming a container includes a plurality of panels connected together at fold lines configured for extending at least partially around an interior space, including a front panel, a top panel, a back panel and a bottom panel. A first back flap, a first top flap, a first front flap, and a first bottom flap are configured to form a first side panel that is parallelogram shaped. A second back flap, a second top flap, a second front flap, and a second bottom flap are configured to form a second side panel that is parallelogram shaped and is opposite the first side panel.

Abstract: A blank for forming an insulated carton including a front panel hingedly attached to a first side panel, the first side panel hingedly attached to a rear panel, the rear panel hingedly attached to a second side panel along a longitudinal axis of a blank, wherein each panel includes a central portion disposed between and hingedly attached to at least one flap arranged transverse to the longitudinal axis, an end tab hingedly attached to the central portion of the second side panel, and wherein the blank defines an interior space of a carton when folded along each hinged attachment and at least one surface of the blank includes a reflective barrier for energy-insulating the interior space of the carton.

Abstract: A corrugated insert for supporting products within a shipping container is disclosed, which includes a plurality of panels foldably connected to one another in such a manner so as to form an accordion configuration that includes an upper panel, a lower panel and a plurality of medial panels, each medial panel having a matrix of apertures formed therein, wherein the matrix of apertures formed in each medial panel is aligned with the matrix of apertures formed in an adjacent medial panel when the medial panels are in the accordion configuration to receive and support a plurality of products within the shipping container.

Abstract: A corrugated insert for supporting products within a shipping container is disclosed, which includes a plurality of rectangular panels foldably connected to one another along longitudinally extending edges thereof in such a manner so as to form an accordion configuration that includes an upper panel, a lower panel and a plurality of medial panels, each medial panel having a set of longitudinally spaced apart apertures formed therein, wherein the apertures on each medial panel are aligned with the apertures formed in an adjacent medial panel when the medial panels are in the accordion configuration for receiving supporting the products within the shipping container.

Abstract: A blank of foldable sheet material for forming a container includes a top panel comprising a front edge, and a tuck flap extending from the front edge of the top panel to an edge of the blank. The blank also includes at least one releasable locking assembly located along at least a portion of the front edge of the top panel. The at least one releasable locking assembly includes a first locking assembly panel coupled to a second locking assembly panel along an intermediate fold line. The intermediate fold line is offset from the front edge of the top panel towards the edge of the blank.

Abstract: A blank for constructing a crush-tolerant container includes a first side panel, a bottom panel, a second side panel, and a top panel coupled together in series. At least one cutout and at least one bridge portion are defined along a first fold line between the top panel and the first side panel. The at least one bridge portion and the at least one cutout are configured to maintain the top panel in a plane spaced above a top edge of the first side panel when the container is formed and the top panel is not under a stacking load, and to allow the top panel to move downwardly such that at least a portion of the top panel is substantially co-planar with the top edge of the first side panel when the container is formed and the top panel is under the stacking load.
