Abstract: There is described a shipper/display carton that has high structural integrity as a shipper carton, is easy opening, and is functional as a display carton. The carton comprises a front panel with a weakened area near a bottom edge, two side panels, each having a weakened area extending substantially diagonally across the sidewall, and a weakened area across a top edge of the rear wall. Additionally, there can be a further weakened region where the rear panel weakened area intersects the weakened areas of the side panels. There is a grip aperture in the rear wall. Due to the placement and structure of the weakened areas, the carton with these weakened areas is sufficiently strong to function as a shipper carton.

Abstract: The invention comprises a container, preferably of paperboard or other packaging materials, with an easy open feature including an opening tab in a wall or panel of the container for providing a dispensing aperture in the container. The opening tab is formed by a first cut line located in the inner surface of a wall or panel of the container and a second cut line located in the outer surface of the wall or panel container, offset a predetermined distance from the first cut line. The first and second cut lines create a frangible area in the wall or panel, which allows the opening tab to separate from the container wall. The frangible area further is provided with restraining portions to control and resist the inadvertent or unexpected separation of all or part of the tab from the container wall.

Abstract: A business form or mailer intermediate having a built-in laminated portion is provided. The form or mailer includes a base ply provided on or in one panel and a film ply provided in a second panel. When the form or mailer is folded about a fold line, the film ply adheres to the base ply with a laminating adhesive. The base ply to be laminated may be a card or label.

Abstract: A package comprising a flanged tray and a wrapper for covering the tray includes an easy opening feature for providing access to the contents of the tray. The wrapper is formed from a substantially rectangular blank of paperboard which is cut and scored to provide a top panel which is adhered to the tray flange, at least one side wall foldably attached to the top panel which lies adjacent to a tray side wall and a bottom flap foldably attached to the side wall which is adhered to the bottom of the tray. The easy opening feature includes a tab element formed from a part of the side panel which is connected to a removable lid portion of the top panel. The tab element and removable lid portion are formed by spaced apart, partial depth cut lines located on the inner and outer surfaces of the top panel and the side panel.

Abstract: A window-containing mailer is provided which is suitable for use in nonimpact printers using heated fuser rolls. A heat and moisture resistant adhesive which resists picking at temperatures encountered in the fusing rolls secures a transparent polymeric film or glassine patch to the mailer substrate.

Abstract: In order to permit opening of a box for Compact Discs regardless of the orientation of the box in a rack system, the box has two tear strips (42, 52) extending around the box at right angles to one another. The base and sides are formed as panels (6,8a,b) , the ends are formed from end panels (14a-18b) connected by fold lines to the base and side panels, and the top is formed by flaps (10a, 10b) connected by fold lines to the side panels, wherein the end panels and side panels are formed with perforations (34a-d) to define a first tear strip (42) extending around the periphery of the box between the top and base for separating the box into two halves (60, 62) and wherein the end panels and the base panel are formed with perforations (50a, b) to define a second tear strip (52) for separating the box into two further halves (64, 66), with one side panel in each half.

Abstract: A folding pack (10) is produced from a single foil sheet (12) which is so folded round an article to be packaged and is so closed that the article is surrounded by it on all sides in an airtight manner. The closure is obtained by means of an adhesive bonding of the in each case mutually opposite edge regions of the foil sheet which laterally frame the inner region of the foil sheet. According to the invention, two mutually opposite edge regions (26, 28) each have at least one not permanently adhesive region (50, 60, 72, 74), these regions being located one above the other (24) in the state folded together to form a folding pack (10), and one of these two edge regions (50, 72) is partially separated materially along its peripheral line (54, 70, 52) from the remaining edge region (26).

Abstract: A letter blank has leading and trailing edges (1 and 2) and side edges (3 and 4). The blank includes a central oblong rectangular letter section (108) and a marginal edge section (205), the latter being joined by perforations (216) and carrying adhesive areas (218, 219 and 220). The letter section (108) can be folded into four portions (212, 213, 214 and 215) by folding along crease lines (9, 10 and 11), forming its own envelope which can be secured by means of the adhesive areas. In the folded configuration the shorter portions (213 and 214) are fully enclosed between the longer portions(212 and 215).

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a carton for containing and protecting a single, wedge-shaped piece of dessert-type pie is provided. The carton comprises generally parallel, triangular top and bottom panels each having a base edge and converging side edges. A trapezoidal rear wall is foldably coupled to the base edges and extends between the top and bottom panels. An inner side wall panel is foldably coupled to each of the converging edges of the bottom panel and extends generally straight upwardly therefrom. An outer side wall panel is foldably connected to each of the converging edges of the top panel and extends generally straight downward therefrom. The outer side panels are closely adjacent to, overlying and affixed along one edge to the inner side wall panels. Each outer side wall panel has an opening structure comprised of a generally central, deflectable, finger-receiving opening tab and a line of weakness generally collinear with the opening tab.

Abstract: A bag for packaging products includes a generally parallelepiped-shaped body of composite sheet material having a rectangular closure zone formed at one end. A closure line extends across the closure zone between the upper and lower sides of the closure zone and a through cutout is formed in the closure zone at the closure line to facilitate opening of the bag. Preferably, the cutout is defined by first and second edges which are generally perpendicular to one another. The first edge is substantially perpendicular to the upper edge of the closure zone and the second edge adjoins the lower end of the first edge and extends substantially parallel to the upper and lower edges of the closure zone. The upper end of the first edge also extends above the upper edge of the closure zone.

Abstract: The book cover is unique in that the unit can be sent in the normal manner through the mail as a card, and instead of being discarded when received, it is usable as a book cover for different thicknesses of books particularly those of the paperback type. The undesirable picture and title on the outer cover will be hidden. The cover folds into post card form and is secured by a tab disposed in an end slot, the tab being usable as a bookmarker when the cover is applied to a book.
