A carton for holding at least one article includes a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carton and including a front panel, a back panel, at least one side panel, a first top panel, and a second top panel, a plurality of end flaps including at least one hinge end flap foldably connected to the first top panel, and a reconfigurable dispenser including the first top panel, the second top panel, and the at least one hinge end flap, the reconfigurable dispenser is reconfigurable between a first and second configurations, the at least one hinge end flap for being positioned in the interior of the carton when the reconfigurable dispenser is in the first configuration, the at least one hinge end flap for being at least partially withdrawn from the interior of the carton when the reconfigurable dispenser is in the second configuration.

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.

A collapsible bulk material container with a unique outer support sleeve and method of manufacture thereof are disclosed. The initial inner circumference of an oversized continuous woven tubular support sleeve is adjustably sized to mattingly match the outer peripheral circumference of a bulk material container forming member which it is designed to support. One or more adjustment tails are formed from the continuous sleeve material to accurately reduce the initial inner sleeve circumference to an adjusted inner circumference. The sizing operation can be performed during initial manufacture of the sleeve or prior to assembly of the sleeve to the forming member.

Packaging structures that are adapted for insertion into an outer container and containers including packaging structures are disclosed. The packaging structures include a support frame including at least a platform panel having first and second opposed faces, the support frame further including an article-loading aperture. A flexible sheet overlies at least a portion of the first face of the platform panel and the article-loading aperture. An article-receiving area between the flexible sheet and the platform panel is accessible to an article only by loading through the article-loading aperture.

A dough product packaging assembly includes one or more dough pieces arranged a first container having a closed, internal cavity, a second container supported upon the first container with an open top portion, a third container housing one or more additional ingredients, such as icing, within the second container, and an outer container extending across the open top portion of the second container and encapsulating each of the first, second and third containers. In connection with production, transportation and consumer displaying of the product, the second container provides support and transfers weight from any cartons stacked above a lower dough product directly onto the first container, thereby allowing the outer or fourth container to act as a containment vessel only, versus something needed to directly provide vertical structural support.

A container for receiving foodstuff or dried beverages comprising a surrounding container wall, an upper container opening and a bottom part opposite to the container opening and connected to a lower end section of the container wall, wherein the bottom part includes an essentially flat bottom section and an abutment flange which protrudes at least in some locations from the bottom section in the direction of the container opening, and the lower end section of the container wall includes a support ring protruding radially inwards from the end section. The bottom part and the lower end section is connected between the abutment flange, an inner side of the container wall, and between the lower side of the bottom section and an upper side of the support ring.

Arrays of closely-spaced holes or cross-grain grooves are formed on the inside surfaces of the staves of a barrel, and/or on an elongated wooden member to greatly increase the amount of end grain wood exposed to the liquid and thereby increase the rate of aging the liquid. The holes and grooves in the staves extend only part-way through the wood in order to maintain the structural integrity of the staves.

A mesh for insert molding is formed from a single mesh sheet. The mesh for insert molding includes a side wall part that has a band shape extending along the longitudinal direction and includes two joining margins at the longitudinal end parts thereof, a bottom part positioned in the width direction of the side wall part, and a connecting part for connecting the bottom part to the side wall part. The mesh for insert molding is configured so as to be arranged in a die in a state of being molded into a cylindrical shape.

A portable cosmetic container is disclosed. The portable cosmetic container includes a tube that has a receiving space with an opening at one end, and a crease is located at a bottom portion of the receiving space, so that a user can easily break the tube from the crease to form the opening of the receiving space. Substance is partially filled in the receiving space, and air therein is extracted to form a negative pressure status. It is advantageous that when a user breaks the tube from the crease, the substance will not randomly spray out since the air pressure moves towards the opening to keep the substance in the receiving space.
