Abstract: An animal transfer box for containing and transporting live animals, such as quail, includes two ventilated end panels opposite each other, two ventilated side panels opposite each other and connected to the end panels, a substantially non-ventilated bottom panel connected to the side panels, and a ventilated top panel connected to the side panels. Feet are secured to the bottom panel for supporting the bottom panel above a surface upon which the animal transfer box may be resting. The animal transfer box is formed from a single blank of cardboard having tabs and slots formed therein for securing the shape of the animal transfer box upon assembly. The end panels each comprise double-wall panels and one of the end panels has a full-length door while the other end panel has a partial-length door.

Abstract: A corrugated plastic box and a method for manufacturing a corrugated plastic box from a blank are provided. The method includes the steps of forming rounded edge seals on the perimeter edges of the blank, pre-sealing portions of the blank—including providing air vents to allow trapped air to escape during the pre-sealing process—to form a plurality of areas in which major and minor flap slots and a glue tab are desired, ultrasonically scoring the blank to form a plurality of flap score lines, and cutting the blank through the plurality of pre-sealed flap slots and glue tab, leaving a sealed edge.

Abstract: An interlocking three dimensional display system is described that includes a plurality of interlocking units. The interlocking units are easily coupled together and may be coupled in multiple varied orientations utilizing various combinations of an upper and base unit. The interlocking units are easily collapsed and fold flat for transportation.

Abstract: A blank includes a top, the top connected to a first top side tab, a second top side tab, a top front tab, and a back tab; a bottom, the bottom defining at least one connection aperture, the bottom connected to a first bottom side tab, a second bottom side tab, a bottom front tab, and the back tab; the first bottom side tab connected to a first cover tab, the first cover tab connected to a first connection tab; the second bottom side tab connected to a second cover tab, the second over tab connected to a second connection tab; the blank formable into a box by connection of the first connection tab to at least one connection aperture and by connection of the second connection tab to at least one connection aperture.

Abstract: A panel including a portion of material having a top surface and a bottom surface; and a plurality of drain apertures formed through the panel at spaced apart locations, wherein the drain apertures provide determined locations for a flow of fluid between the top surface and the bottom surface of the panel, wherein each of the drain apertures defines a resiliently deformable projection that extends into the drain aperture.

Abstract: A cricket box formed from a foldable blank of material, such as paperboard. The cricket box includes a first side panel with a window allowing for visible inspection of any crickets in the box. The box further includes a top panel, a second side panel, a bottom panel, and a partition panel. The partition panel is folded into the interior of the box to provide a crawl space for the crickets. The partition panel is provided with a plurality of perforations and a plurality of holes to allow the crickets to crawl around the panel.

Abstract: A multi-pack packaging sleeve comprises first and second pack receiving pockets each constructed and arranged to receive at least one product pack. A sliding connection between the first and second pack receiving pockets includes a lock slot on the first pack receiving pocket and a slide lock flap on the second pack receiving pocket slidably received within the lock slot on the first pack receiving pocket. The sliding connection enables the first and second pack receiving pockets to move relative to one another between abutting positions and a position where the pack receiving pockets are slightly spaced apart from one another to thereby define a notch between the pockets for cooperative engagement with the rails of a product display and dispensing rack.

Abstract: A cricket box has a bottom wall; a top wall; a rear wall integral with the bottom and top walls; a front wall integral with the bottom wall, and side walls integral with the bottom wall. Each of the side walls has at least one substantial opening in it. The rear and front walls have end flaps at each end, folded inwardly substantially perpendicularly to the front and rear walls and bottom wall to lie alongside and inboard of the side walls, the end flaps having openings complementary to the side wall opening or openings. The side walls have side wall panels folded over the end flaps, those panels having openings complementary to the opening or openings in the side walls and the end flaps. The side wall panels engage the bottom wall along their outer edges, and cage a screen between the side wall panels and the end flaps. The screen extends over the opening or openings.
