Abstract: A method of manufacturing a custom sized plastic tote lighter in weight than heretofore known custom sized plastic totes is provided. The method comprises separating an injection molded tote into upper and lower portions by cutting the injection molded tote. A sleeve or middle portion of plastic material is secured to the upper and lower portions of the injection molded tote to create a custom sized plastic tote of a desired height. Alternatively, portions of different injection molded totes may be used to create a custom sized plastic tote. The sleeve may be made from different materials and may be made of multiple pieces.

Abstract: A dunnage structure comprising a partition matrix made up of folded partitions, each of the partitions having two plies fused together in select locations. The partitions may be made by folding a partition blank and securing a portion of the folded partition blank to itself in predetermined locations. Passages extend through portions of the partitions to allow multiple partitions to be secured together using connectors.

Abstract: A partition assembly comprising a partition matrix made up of intersecting first and second slotted partitions, each of the partitions having at least one slot and a rounded edge. The slots of the partitions are engaged with each other at a plurality of intersections. The partitions are made by rounding an edge of a multi-layered blank using a rotatable tool and then cutting the partition material to a desired size. Slots may then be formed in the edge sealed material.

Abstract: A lightweight horizontal dispensing container comprises a pallet base, a pallet cover and a three sided sleeve extending between the pallet base and the pallet cover. The container may be stacked on top of similar pallet covers or below similar pallet bases. A rectangular frame is secured to opposed walls and defines an opening on a fourth side of the container. Dunnage is located inside the container to provide horizontal access to parts inside the container. This container enables a horizontal dispensing container to be stacked above or below conventional pallet loads.

Abstract: A container for holding product therein during shipment and comprises a body including a base, rigid side walls and a removable cover. The body has at least one open side and a first product grid is positioned in the body and forms a first plurality of generally horizontally disposed product bins. The product bins have outside open ends and are disposed such that the outside open ends face outwardly of an open side of the container for horizontally receiving a product to be shipped and for providing horizontal access to the product from a side of the container. A second plurality of bins is juxtaposed with the first plurality and flexible wall is positioned between the two bin pluralities to form end walls for the bins. The flexible end walls create an expansible bin. The container body also includes a mounting structure thereon for securing at least one additional rigid side wall to the body for forming a container body closed on all sides.
