Abstract: A waste container comprising an opening, a permanent closure member, and an adhesive attached to the closure member for irreversibly sealing the closure member to another part of the container so as to, in use, permanently close the opening in the container.

Abstract: Multi-layered bags include an outer layer or bag and an inner layer or bag that is shorter than the outer layer or bag. The shortened inner layer or bag can stretch or expand to the outer layer or bag when loaded with objects or otherwise strained. Such multi-layered bags can allow for a reduction in thermoplastic material without compromising the strength of the multi-layered bag. In various implementations, the inner layer or bag may be non-continuously laminated, continuously laminated, or joined only along one or more edges to the outer layer or bag. Implementations including non-continuous bonds securing the inner layer or bag to the outer layer or bag can provide additional strength to the bag. Methods of forming multi-layered bags with a shortened inner layer including inserting an inner layer within an outer layer and then joining the layers to form a bag.

Abstract: Corrugated container assemblies, such as bulk bins, that include corrugated container bodies and drain fitment retainers. In one embodiment, a corrugated container assembly includes a rectangular corrugated container body having a bottom portion and a top portion. A rectangular liner tray is installed within the container body toward the bottom portion. A flexible and impervious liner is installed on the liner tray within the container body for containing liquid contents, and includes a drain fitment for dispensing the liquid contents. In one aspect of this embodiment, the container body includes a corner structure that can facilitate folding. In another aspect of this embodiment, the liner tray includes a fitment retainer that can accessibly position the drain fitment and at least restrict the drain fitment from moving or rotating.

Abstract: A package for a flowable dry food product includes an outer rectangular box with a removable portion for forming an opening in a portion of the top, and a bag inside the box, having a reclosable portion extending substantially the length of the opening, but less than the entire width of the package.

Abstract: A packaging box includes a rectangularly configured box having an impact-resistant inner bag attached to a first side interior surface. The attached inner bag has an opening for inserting the article to be packaged. The inner bag is then closed about the article using tape elements. When properly closed the inner bag will be spaced from the box interior surface when the first side is facing up. An additional support for the inner bag includes tie members extending from the first side interior surface and about the closed inner bag, the tie members being joined into a twist knot, where further twisting tightens the tie members about the inner bag, thus supporting it generally and providing additional means for spacing the inner bag from the box interior surfaces when the first side is facing up.

Abstract: A gabled, gussetted resealable lined container having an outer carton with foldable closure flaps and a liner within the carton. The upper inner surfaces of the liner are releasably sealed together after filling with product and at least one of the liner upper outer edges adhered to the closure flaps on the carton, whereby when the closure flaps are opened, the inner liner is pulled opened and when the closure flaps are closed, the inner liner is resealed to maintain product freshness.

Abstract: A reclosable thermoplastic bag having an offset fastener. The bag includes first and second sidewalls, each having a top, a bottom and two opposing side edges, the first and second sidewalls being attached together along the respective bottom and side edges; an inwardly folded top pleat positioned across the first sidewall; a reclosable fastener having at least two cooperating closure members, one closure member being positioned proximate to the top of the first sidewall above the pleat, the other closure member being positioned proximate to the top of the second sidewall, such that when the bag is filled and closed, the reclosable fastener is offset.
