A method of displaying an article, a package configured to display a selected portion of an article, and a blank for forming a rectangular box, which is configured to contain an elongate body are disclosed. The method includes establishing a box structure having an inner cavity and a side portion; dividing the side portion into a lower retention portion, and upper retention portion, and a window recess portion, the dividing including: establishing a side recess panel at a location along a side panel of the box structure; establishing a front recess panel along a front panel of the box structure, the front recess panel adjacent the side recess panel, the front recess panel having a greater width than the side recess panel; and establishing the window recess portion by folding the first and front recess panels into the box structure.

The plastic bag may include flexible thermoplastic sidewalls that have a pattern imparted onto them. The wrinkle pattern may be a plurality of linear ribs formed into the sidewall that may be arranged adjacent and parallel to one another. To impart the pattern to the sidewall, a thermoplastic web used to make the sidewall may be directed between a first cylindrical roller and a second cylindrical roller, each of which may have a plurality of spaced ridges extending about their peripheries. When the web is directed between the first and second rollers, the meshing of the ridges may form ribs into the web.

An apparatus 10) and a method for manufacturing plastic bags (20) from at least two layers of plastic film (30, 40). The apparatus (10) comprises a lower tool plate (300) and an upper tool plate (400); the lower tool plate (300) is driven by a crank (650) on a servomotor (675). The servomotor (675) is connected to a measuring device (680) for measuring the power consumption.

A container blank (100) containing: a main panel (102); a main flap (106) separated from the main panel (102) by a main crease line (108) parallel to a transversal direction (x); a secondary panel (112) separated from the main panel (102) by a longitudinal crease line (104); a secondary flap (116) separated from the secondary panel (112) by a secondary crease line (118) parallel to the transversal direction (x), the secondary flap (116, 616, 716) having a thickness (e); wherein the secondary crease line (118) is offset longitudinally with respect to the main crease line (108) of a distance (D1) comprised between 100% and 200% of the thickness (e) of the secondary flap (116), the main panel (102) containing a longitudinal free edge portion (103) adjacent to the secondary flap (116) and having a length (L1) corresponding to the distance (D1).

A vented carton. The vented carton may include a container portion; a closure portion, wherein the closure portion may be configured to secure a top opening of the container portion; and an arrangement of vent openings, wherein the arrangement of vent opening may be formed in either or both of the container portion and the closure portion.

Upon cutting a corner of a plastic bag, the cut-out portion is prevented from attaching to the plastic bag. A plastic film (1) is trimmed by a trimming cutter (7) to form a selvage (8). Every time that the plastic film (1) is intermittently fed, the trimming cutter (7) is moved by a trimming cutter moving mechanism, so that a corner of the plastic bag is cut by the trimming cutter (7) and the cut-out portion (11) is continued from the selvage (8).

A fruit bag having a body and an entrance formed on the body to insert young fruit thereinto, the body having a front surface, a back surface, and side surfaces is provided. The fruit bag includes: a cover protruding from the front surface to cover the entrance; multiple folding portions formed by folding each side surface at least one or more times; and an opening part attached to the form of a band to the end portion of the body forming the entrance and having flat portions attached to the front surface and the back surface and grasping portions attached to the side surfaces, the grasping portions forming hinges together with the multiple folding portions so that if a pressure is applied to the grasping portions, the entrance is expanded by means of the flat portions.

A bagmaker interoperable with an item processor is disclosed, the bagmaker being configured to produce bags for packaging items for sterilization, such as medical instruments. The bagmaker may include a controller interoperable with a bag production device, the bag production device including a bag cutter and a heat sealer, such that tubing may be sealed and cut, such that a bag of a specified length is formed. Operation of the bagmaker may include identifying tubing corresponding to a bag width of the bag, advancing tubing to correspond with the length of the bag, sealing at least a first end of the tubing, and then advancing and cutting the tubing; ejecting the bag from the bagmaker and retracting remaining uncut tubing, wherein the retraction and ejection may occur contemporaneously or interchangeably in order.

A firearm target is formed from a cardboard substrate. A first target is printed on the cardboard substrate. The cardboard substrate is folded into a box shape. The cardboard substrate is cut to form a first flap and a second flap on a first side of the cardboard substrate. The first flap and second flap include notches. The first flap and second flap are folded over with the notches interlocked. The flaps can be oriented to the bottom of the box shape and weighted for stability. A second target can be mounted to the box shape over the first target.

A paperboard packaging container for bulk solids and a method of forming a paperboard packaging container for bulk solids. The container having a container body closed at one end by a lid formed by sequential insertion and attachment of a first paperboard insert and a second paperboard insert.
