Abstract: A container has a plurality of panels integrally arranged with respect to a set of orthogonal x, y and z axes, the z-axis defining a direction line in which the container is configured to support a stacking load. The panels are folded to define a form having a plurality of folded edges oriented perpendicular to the z-axis. At least one of the plurality of folded edges has a cutout region having a planar edge oriented perpendicular to the z-axis. The plurality of panels includes a plurality of cut edges oriented and disposed inline with respective ones of the plurality of folded edges. At least one of the plurality of cut edges has a projection disposed contiguous and planar with a respective panel. The projection includes a planar edge oriented perpendicular to the z-axis, the planar edge being disposed within an adjacently disposed cutout region.

Abstract: A plurality of integrally arranged panels include a first panel and a second panel with a fold line therebetween. A compression reinforcement feature has a planar edge oriented orthogonal to a first planar surface of the first panel and perpendicular to a z-axis that defines a stacking load direction, the planar edge being disposed at a distance away from the fold line of half a thickness of the first panel, the first panel having a void between the fold line and the planar edge. The compression reinforcement feature is formed by at least four cut lines that define at least a portion of a closed perimeter of a cutout. One of the cut lines defines a location of the planar edge of the compression reinforcement feature.

Abstract: The present application provides a multi-piece box. The multi-piece box may include a body blank with a number of body panels and a number of second blanks with a second blank panel. The second blanks may be attached to the body blank. One or more of the body panels may include a first dimension along a first direction, the second blanks may include a second dimension along the first direction, and the second dimension may be greater than the first dimension such that the second blank panels may create a protruding end with respect to the one or more body panels.

Abstract: A container includes a plurality of panels integrally arranged with respect to each other and with respect to a set of orthogonal x, y and z axes, the z-axis defining a direction line in which the container is configured to support a stacking load. The plurality of panels include a first panel having a first planar surface, and a second panel having a second planar surface, wherein the first panel and the second panel form a contiguity with a fold line disposed therebetween, and wherein the first planar surface is disposed parallel to the x-z plane or the y-z plane. The container further includes a compression reinforcement feature having a planar edge oriented orthogonal to the first planar surface and perpendicular to the z-axis, the planar edge being disposed a distance away from the fold line but at a distance no greater than half a thickness of the first panel, the first panel having a void between the fold line and the planar edge.

Abstract: The transfer tool of this invention includes a handle, a substantially rigid rod extending from the handle, and a peg attachment end. The rod should be long enough to hold a plurality of packages to facilitate the quick transfer of a large number of packages from the shipping container to the display peg. The peg attachment end is configured to temporarily abut and align with the end of the display peg extending from the display case. Specially designed shipping containers are used to orient the packages in alignment to facilitate transfer of the packages to the display peg with the transfer tool A system and method of using the transfer tool and shipping container of this invention are also disclosed.

Abstract: A carton having improved structural integrity and stacking strength and an easy opening feature. The carton is formed from a paperboard blank having modified end panels that provide improved stacking strength and includes perforations arranged along a top panel of the carton to provide an easy opening feature for the carton.

Abstract: A shipping container, e.g., tray, formed-up from a unitary blank of sheet material improves upon known triangular cornerpost-type containers by providing reinforcing layers formed from a fold-over flap attached to an upper edge of a wall panel having post-forming corner panels at its lateral ends. The fold-over flap is laid-up against, and is secured to, a diagonal panel of the triangular post structures formed at each container corner, as well as adjacent portions of the corner-forming walls. Tabs formed by a hinged connection of the wall panel and fold-over panel are aligned with notches formed in lower edges of the walls, allowing for interengagement of multiple trays in a stacked configuration. The construction results in superior stacking strength and improved stacking stability, thereby facilitating material handling, shipping and display.
