Abstract: A seal end carton having a feature that creates an aperture and that may be opened and reclosed. The carton may be constructed from a flat carton blank that is then folded and sealed. The carton further includes an opening and reclosing feature that can be opened and reclosed multiple times.

Abstract: A dispensing device includes a container that elevates slightly at an inclined end so that at least one substantially cylindrical container is urged to roll to an opening at a dispensing end of the container. Each individual cylindrical container within the container is continuously forwarded to an opening in the dispensing end, due to the gravitational pull created by the incline. A base surface provides a foundation for the container to rest on a ground surface. A protruding portion folds out from the base surface on the inclined end to form the incline. Two terminal portions on the protruding portion fold inwardly and enter into at least one slot to form a more stable U-shaped base for supporting the inclined end.

Abstract: A package for holding a food product that has a tray and a lid. The tray has a central panel for supporting a food product. The package includes various closing and opening features.

Abstract: A carton is formed from an inner blank and an outer blank. The outer blank ply of the carton includes a pivoting, reclosable lid that allows a top end of the carton to be accessed and subsequently closed. A latch feature is included in the carton to allow the lid to be securely closed over the open top of the carton. The inner blank may form a closed and/or sealed liner vessel within the outer blank ply of the carton.

Abstract: A confectionery container (10) has a main body (12) defining an inner volume in which articles can be held. A closure member or lid (14) is pivotably attached to the main body for movement between an open position in which articles within the inner volume can be dispensed and a closed position in which the articles are retained within the container. To assist the user in opening and closing the container, an over-centre mechanism (34) is provided which is configured to bias the lid (14) towards the open and closed positions. The container (10) is preferably formed from a unitary blank of foldable material (48) and the over-centre mechanism may comprise two co-operating panels (36, 40) connected between the main body (12) and the lid (14). A blank (48) for forming the container and a method of dispensing articles from the container are also disclosed.

Abstract: A container assembly having an inner container and an outer cover that fits over the inner container. The inner container is positioned within the outer cover. The outer cover includes an overlay formed in the outer cover sidewalls by a tear line allowing the overlay to be detached from the outer cover. An adhesive secures the inner container and the outer cover together with the adhesive being provided between the inner container and the overlay so that the overlay can detach from the outer cover and remain attached to the inner container over the adhesive when the outer cover is removed from the inner container. A knockdown assembly that can be erected into a container assembly is also provided.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, a container is provided for shipping a plurality of items, such as pre-wrapped reams of cut-sized paper, more particularly, a container for shipping items is provided, comprising: a base portion sized to receive a plurality of items therein; a lid portion sized to fit over the base portion, thereby enclosing the plurality of items therein; wherein at least a portion of either the base portion or the lid portion includes a break-away section for at least partially opening the container to permit removal of at least one of the plurality of items therefrom.

Abstract: A childproof package consists of a rectangular folding box of cardboard with at least one strip-like blister pack inside, which can be pulled out from one of the short, narrow sides of the folding box. The folding box is designed so that it can be reclosed in such a way as to be childproof again, and the folding box and the blister pack have cooperating means, which are designed so that the blister pack cannot be pulled completely out of the folding box.

Abstract: A carton and a blank for forming a carton for holding a plurality of articles, for example bottles, comprising a collapsible tubular corner post formed from an extension of a carton side wall. The corner post is adapted to move from a flat collapsed condition when extending outwardly of the carton to be automatically erected by folding the corner post inwardly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cardboard pallet-like container which also acts as an exhibitor. The container is obtained from a single sheet of die-cut and folded cardboard by means of which the entire structure is obtained. The container is a parallelepiped which is cut, on each lateral face, along a diagonal so as to obtain a base semi-container provided with legs and a top semi-container which can be fitted over the base semi-container.

Abstract: A paperboard container for releasably dispensing contents contained therein is convertible from a substantially sealed orientation to a substantially open, dispensing orientation and back to the substantially sealed orientation. The paperboard container comprises a tubular container member, a bottom member and a top member, with the top member being telescopically received within the container member to seal the top member to the container. The top member is pivotable about the hinge portion and is pivotable to the sealed orientation to substantially reseal the container member.

Abstract: A paperboard container adapted to hold pastries or the like is fashioned from a unitary blank. The blank is provided with a plurality of generally rectangular panels defined by fold lines. The container assumes two forms, with each having a bottom panel with upstanding side walls therefrom to define a bottom tray, a top panel with depending side walls therefrom to define a top tray, and two latching tabs. One latching tab is carried by the front wall of the lower tray, while the other latching tab is carried by the front wall of the upper tray. The two front walls are overlapping and in substantial surface contact with each other. Each latching tab is outwardly bendable from its respective front wall, with each latching tab being coated on at least one surface with a cohesive material. Such a material has the property that it adheres only to other cohesive material coated surfaces.

Abstract: A carton has a pour spout located at the edge of two side walls. The spout is formed by two cut lines which extend from the edge into each of the side walls. The spout also consists of four folds lines which cooperate to allow the spout to flex outwardly when opened. The fold lines extend from the edge at positions above and below the cut lines and arc into the sidewalls to a junction with the cut lines.

Abstract: A cardboard carton lid is constructed so that the carton may be securely packed and shipped without the necessity for plastic strapping, and using lower strength paperboard than is conventionally provided, yet allow the carton lid to be reused. The lid has elongated side panels with first and second parallel lines of weakness (e.g. perforations) formed in them. The bottom, fastening portion of the side panels is secured--as by adhesive--to the carton body side walls. A blank, and enlarged grasping portion in the carton lid side panels at the lines of weakness allow a user to grasp the strip between the lines of weakness and detach the lid from the securing portions of the side panels. The lid can be reused after detachment. The carton is packed with nondeformable material such as business forms which extend above the top edge of the carton.
