Abstract: Container having a base portion defining a compartment and a lid portion moveable between an open position for access to the compartment and a closed position to cover the compartment. The base portion includes a bottom panel, a back panel extending from the bottom panel to a back panel upper edge, and back side tabs extending from the back panel and defining opposing sides of the base portion. The base portion further includes a front base panel extending upwardly from the bottom panel to a front angle panel, the front angle panel extending upwardly and inwardly from the front base panel to a free end. The lid portion is hingedly-coupled to the upper edge of the back panel. The container further includes a cutter disposed on the front angle panel. A blank and method for forming the container from a sheet of blank material is also provided.

Abstract: Gift card apparatus and methods of producing the same are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a substrate including a first panel and a self-erecting box having a lid, a first line of weakness defined by substrate to separate the first panel from the self-erecting box, the first panel to be folded about the first line of weakness to position a first surface of the first panel immediately adjacent the self-erecting box, a card to be coupled to a second side of the panel.

Abstract: A folding device having a rectangular bottom transports an animal such as a dog. In the unfolded state, upright first and second side walls are connected on the long sides and short sides of the bottom. Fold lines in the second side walls facilitate folding of the device from the unfolded state to the folded state and the bottom is divided into bottom portions by a fold line running parallel with the long sides to facilitate folding the device from the unfolded state to the folded state. Rigidity-providing wall portions are provided at the location of at least one of the corners, which stiffness-providing wall portions can be secured to the second side walls, which stiffness-providing wall portions are hingable about an axis transverse to the rectangular bottom at the location of the relevant corner for increasing the stiffness of the second side walls.

Abstract: A collapsible frame container assembly comprises a frame component comprising a plurality of panels connected to each other, the panels being movable relative to each other between a first substantially folded condition wherein the panels are collapsed and a second unfolded condition wherein the panels are opened to define a frame structure. Also provided is a container component comprising first and second sides defining a space therebetween of a size which can be varied according to the relative positions of the first and second sides. The frame component when in the unfolded condition and the container component are releasably coupled to each other to define a predetermined frame container assembly.

Abstract: A piece of luggage including at least one section of a stiff shell material is provided. The at least one section of the stiff shell material defines a first face of the piece of luggage and has at least one corner. A portion of the at least one section has been removed to define at least one notch proximate the at least one corner. First and second edges of the at least one section adjacent the notch are folded inward relative an inner surface of the at least one section forming first and second sides. The first and second sides define second and third faces of the piece of luggage. The piece of luggage further includes at least one rigid corner piece secured to the first and second sides proximate the at least one notch.

Abstract: A collapsible box with a pair of opposed, hinged sidewalls in which a lightweight frame structure holds the sidewall in a vertical orientation during assembly and provides load-bearing strength. The frame structure and sidewalls fold over one another, and lie substantially flat, when said box is collapsed.

Abstract: A folding collapsible box is constructed to include a box body, the box body having two cardboard reinforced upright sidewalls symmetrically disposed at two sides, each cardboard reinforced upright sidewall having a vertical folding line on the middle, and two locating members respectively detachably coupled to the cardboard reinforced upright sidewalls through a slip joint to hold the cardboard reinforced upright sidewalls in shape and vertically movable relative to the box body between a received position and an extended position.

Abstract: Conventionally, distribution containers, particularly, corrugated cardboard containers and EPS containers, have been used as containers for conveying perishable foods. These containers are disposed as waste after the containers have been used repeatedly by a few times. The amount of these containers disposed as waste is huge, and it has been necessary to reduce the waste, from the viewpoint of resource protection and environmental protection. Particularly, in the EPS containers, bacteria are easily propagated on the inner walls. Further, in the case of the corrugated cardboard containers, they have not been satisfactory from the viewpoint of heat insulation and cooling of the contents. The present invention provides a foldable distribution container for conveying perishable foods of which a foldable container main body and a lid unit covered on the upper opening of the container main body are manufactured as three-wall structures made of a transparent synthetic resin material and having two air layers.

Abstract: Liquid resistant containers having double walled construction and an upwardly projecting container bottom are suitable for use, e.g., as a flower vase. Preferably, the containers are formed from a unitary carton blank having fold lines such that the container is prepared by folding the blank along fold lines to form the open-ended container, the cavity of which is lined with a liner or open bag to provide further resistance against leaks.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a one piece blank of foldable sheet material cut and scored so that it is divided into a series of connected wall forming panels which when assembled provides an oval folding carton with an automatic closing bottom for packaging an article. The present invention is also directed to a one piece oval shaped carton with an automatic closing bottom for packaging an article.
