    Abstract: A packing box for a weight lifting bar includes an elongate board having four parallel first folding lines to define the elongate board into a first portion, a second portion, a third portion, a fourth portion and a fifth portion. A second folding line is formed in each of two ends of the elongate board. Each of the two ends of the elongate board is defined into five end covers by the second folding line and the four first folding lines. The first portion is cut to have two side covers. The fifth portion is cut to have two openings. The elongate board is folded along the four first folding lines to form a quadratic body, and the end covers are folded inward to close the two open ends of the quadratic body. The bar in the packing box can be seen via the openings by opening the side covers.

  • Publication number: 20100127059
    Abstract: A water permeable sealed container for preservation of produce such as fruit, vegetables and flowers made out of three layer laminate corrugated to form, further three to five layer construct. The layers also include a layer of Kraft paper fluting and layer of polymer which is enclosed between two layers of Kraft paper. The container has a lid, which absorbs water vapor and transmits water vapor from the interior of the container to the exterior through micro perforations. The container can also regulate relative humidity within a range of 75% to 85% for some foods by removing moisture from the food generated from respiration and suppressing product decay due to microorganisms. The laminate may be die cut to be formed into a range of box designs for vertical profiles that provide ventilation spaces between containers in a vertical stack and to provide airflow channels within a stack.

  • Patent number: 6283363
    Abstract: In the production of packages made of relatively rigid packaging material, e.g. cardboard, it is not possible to directly fold the blank around the pack contents, if the pack contents are composed of articles which may not be mechanically strained, as for example, soft packs. A folding sleeve (47) which can be moved together with the pack contents makes it possible to fold a cardboard blank (28) around the pack contents. The folding sleeve (47) surrounding the pack contents absorbs the mechanical strain occurring in the folding process. Before completing the package, the folding sleeve (47) is pulled out of the region of the pack contents.
