The invention relates to a method, a device and packaging obtained by way of the method, for fitting at least one reinforcement at a given location on a cutout of cardboard sheet or corrugated cardboard suitable for forming the packaging. The blank is removed from a store with the aid of unstacking means comprising a longitudinal structure with a given shape, the blank is transferred horizontally above a template for forming said blank, the blank is compressed between the template and said longitudinal structure, the blank thus configured is transferred with glue being applied to the side edges and the blank thus glued is applied to the cutout at the given location so as to form the reinforcement of said packaging.

A container blank (1) of the RSC type having a material web (2) attached thereto to retain an article within a container formed from the blank (1). The web material (2) is selected from one or more materials having substantially identical recycling characteristics to the material from which the blank (1) is formed. The web material is coated in a cohesive film and can be stacked and handled without tack.

An exemplary container for consumer goods includes a rigid outer box and a rigid inner box. The outer box has a hinged top configured to provide access to an inner volume of the outer box. The inner box is a laminate of paperboard and an inner liner and pre-cut opening configured to provide access to an inner volume of the inner box. A pull tab covers the opening. The pull tab includes a first adhesive that releasably adheres an edge portion of the pull tab to the inner box and a second adhesive that permanently adheres the pull tab to the inner box and the outer box.

An article or portion of an article comprising a combination of at least two foldable modules that mutually hinder either their folding or unfolding during normal operation until additional force is applied on particular spots along the mutual foldable edges that connect the modules. The article or the portion of the article not only can perform almost as well as non-folding equivalents but also can have the advantages that foldability offers. Such foldable modules can define not only tubular cylindrical shapes but also conical ones and mixtures between them. They can also be built as closing collapsible modules.

An insulated container may include a rigid container surrounding an insulation layer formed from a post-industrial, pre-consumer card waste. The insulation layer may be characterized by a lack of any wrapping material. The insulation layer may be manufactured using a variety of converting processes including, carding, airlay, and needle punch to form a non-woven material for providing consistent density throughout the insulation layer. The insulation layer may include a natural fiber lamination layer on an outer surface of the insulation layer. The insulation layer may be biodegradable in an anaerobic environment.

Method for manufacturing a cup from a conical sleeve and a pot-shaped base. The base has a base face and a circumferential wall starting from the base face and inserted from a large opening in the conical sleeve into the sleeve in the direction of a small opening in the sleeve. The method includes: partially covering a radially outer circumferential face of the wall of the pot-shaped base with an annular covering sleeve, positioning the covering sleeve together with the base in the direction of the small opening in the sleeve until the predefined relative position between the sleeve and the base is reached, pulling out the covering sleeve between an inner side of the sleeve and the radially outer circumferential face of the base, the base remaining in the predefined relative position, and connecting the radially outer circumferential face of the base and the inner side of the sleeve in an essentially fluid-tight manner.

A bottom heater for use in assembling a container bottom and a sleeve includes a body having a peripheral wall and a heated air passage terminating in an outlet in the peripheral wall. A shape of at least a portion of the peripheral wall defining the outlet is such that heated air exiting the outlet is fluidly attached to an adjacent portion of the peripheral wall after exit because of the Coanda effect.

A tray for holding one or more food products includes a plurality of panels including a central panel, at least one end panel, at least one side panel, and at least one bottom panel, a sidewall extending at least partially around an interior of the tray and including the at least one end panel and the at least one side panel, a flange extending outwardly from the sidewall and including the central panel, a bottom wall including the at least one bottom panel, and divider features including at least one divider in the interior of the tray, the at least one divider extending upwardly from the bottom wall.

A package for containment and display of articles comprises: a box-shaped body provided with a bottom and with side walls adapted to bound a housing compartment; at least one first supporting structure comprising at least one housing cavity for the housing of a respective article; at least one second supporting structure side by side to the first supporting structure and comprising at least one housing cavity for the housing of a further respective article; wherein the supporting structures are configured to be at least partly fitted inside the housing compartment, and wherein the package also comprises a covering layer superimposed on the first supporting structure and on the second supporting structure and having a plurality of through openings, each superimposed on a respective cavity of said supporting structures.

A beverage carrier for holding, storing, and carrying beverages is provided. The carrier has a handle and six or more individually detachable sleeves arranged in two rows on each side of the handle. When a sleeve is detached from the carrier, with a beverage remaining within the sleeve, the sleeve serves as an insulating device for the beverage. The beverage carrier is manufactured from a template, which is a single, continuous piece of generally flat material such as cardboard or paperboard. The end sleeves of each row of sleeves is attached directly to the handle, and the middle sleeves are attached to the handle via a hinge that allows the middle sleeves to be folded into place between the end sleeves. The hinges allow the template to be made from a single piece of material without any overlapping material. Because the carrier is made from such a template, a high volume of carriers can be manufactured using automated machinery.
