Abstract: A dispenser container ballast for removably providing an additional mass to a light weight dispenser container. The container ballast includes a weighted mass that may be inserted between a sidewall of a dispenser container and a flap secured to the sidewall. The ballast permits single handed dispensing of carried by the dispenser, such as a tissue.

Abstract: A box includes a front connected to two front attachment panels, a back connected to two back attachment panels, first and second sides, a bottom, a first top panel connected to the front having flanges on opposite sides, each of the flanges being respectively connected to one of the front attachment panels, and a second top panel having flanges on opposite sides, each of the flanges being respectively connected to one of the back attachment panels. One of the top panels includes a tab and the other does not; the flanges of the top panel that includes the tab extend to the outer edge of such top panel; the flanges of the other do not extend to the outer edge of such top panel; and the flanges and tab are configured to lock the top panels in a closed configuration.

Abstract: In order to provide a package which is inexpensive to manufacture, sufficiently stable to protect the contents of the package and repeatedly and consistently openable and closeable, a package and a blank therefor is disclosed. The blank comprises front wall (10) , back wall (14) and side wall (12) segments, and the front and the back wall segments extend into congruent closure segments (20, 24, 32, 28). At least two (24, 26) of the closure segments are arranged to be foldable on top of one another to form a pocket with one open side (26) At least a further one of the closure segments (20) is arranged to be insertable into the pocket from the open side thereof in such a manner as to permit repeatable opening and closing of an end of the package.

Abstract: A blank and box therefrom forming a shallow disposable litter box. The box has four wall panels extending into bottom panels fastened to form a bottom. The wall panels extend remote from the bottom panels into four top panels for forming a top sealing the box. Two opposite top panels have an aperture and handle cooperating to releasably lock the four top panels in a closed position and enable the box to be carried horizontally with one hand. One of the top panels, other than the two cooperating top panels, when in an open position preferably provides an opening for an entry and exit way for different-sized pets.

Abstract: A new carton blank configuration and a method of folding it to provide a liquid-tight, nonwicking carton or container bottom is disclosed. The scoring pattern and bottom panel configuration of the carton make possible the formation of a carton bottom having no exposed edges of the carton blank on the inside of the container without folding or slitting any bottom panel prior to the carton folding and sealing process. The carton blank is shaped and scored for folding and is substantially a flat container bottom. An extension tab extending from one of the two bottom panels allows for a nonwicking surface to be formed and tucked into the interior of the carton bottom during the bottom-forming process as the edges of the two bottom panels contact each other. The inside surface of the bottom panel not having an extension tab contacts the extension tab, folding the extension tab back along a score line.
