A compressed hollow coreless roll of absorbent paper sheet produced by way of providing a roll of absorbent paper sheet by winding the sheet about a forming core member having a diameter in the range of 30 mm to 50 mm; removing the forming core member such that there is provided a hollow coreless roll of absorbent paper sheet with an axial cavity having a diameter in the range of 30 mm to 50 mm and compressing the hollow coreless roll such that, the axial cavity is substantially collapsed. The compressed hollow coreless rolls are readily re-formed into cylindrical shape. Space-saving packages of the rolls are overwrapped with tubular polymer film to provide a flexible reconfigurable package of a series of individually encased rolls. Volume reductions of about 10 to about 20%, about 14% to about 20%, 30%, 40% and more as compared with conventional products are realized.

A layer pad (10) comprises a substantially flat sheet (12) having first and second opposite substantially planar faces (14, 16). The layer pad (10) further includes at least one raised formation (18) on at least one of the faces (14, 16).

There is provided a method of producing a packed body that does not fall off and collapse during transportation and does not cause damage to cartons and paper material locally and around which a packing film can be wound easily. A packed body production method includes a first step in which a layered body is formed by stacking cartons containing toilet paper rolls and in which an insertion section into which a fork unit of a forklift is inserted is formed at a predetermined position in the layered body, a second step in which a first packing film is wound spirally around at least side surfaces of the layered body, and a third step in which a second packing film is wound around the layered body so as to close an opening of the insertion section.

A molded container assembly includes a pallet, a molded container, and a plurality of connection systems. The pallet supports the molded container thereon and includes stacking alignment structure for stacking the pallet on another molded container assembly. The molded container includes a tank portion, several leg supports, and several buttresses. The tank portion includes several curved sidewalls and a fill opening. The leg supports include lower sections and upper sections that extend above the fill opening for spacing a pallet stacked on top of the molded container above the fill opening. The upper sections include pallet engaging structure for engaging pallets of at least two different types. The buttresses extend between the tank portion and the leg supports. The connection systems include washers that allow for shrinkage and expansion between the molded container and the pallet in a number of directions.

The present disclosure provides an herb tray for providing provision to facilitate cone fillers. The herb tray includes a constituent holding tray, a dispensing chamber, a primary spout, and a secondary dispenser. In addition, the dispensing chamber is attached to the constituent holding tray to hold a rolling paper cartridge against underside of a first ledge. Further, the primary spout is created by bottom and cover of the dispensing chamber. Furthermore, the secondary dispenser is attached to the constituent holding tray at the second dispensing side and is configured for dispensing the at least one of the plurality of constituents from the constituent holding tray into the at least one of the plurality of cone fillers. Moreover, the at least one of the plurality of cone fillers is attached to at least one of the primary spout and the secondary spout with facilitation of a cone holder.

A storage unit for storing one or more storable members. The storage unit includes a housing configured to support at least one storage tunnel. The storage tunnel is defined by a circumferential wall extending about a central axis with the circumferential wall having a minimum distance from the central axis. A support cradle is defined along a lower portion of the tunnel and includes at least one longitudinal rail extending parallel with the central axis. The at least one longitudinal rail has a support surface which is at a distance from the central axis which is less than the minimum distance of the circumferential wall.

A method, apparatus and program product may determine load stability for a load to be wrapped based upon sensing the response or reaction of the load to a disturbance applied to the load, e.g., through intentionally moving, shaking, tilting, pushing, impacting or otherwise applying an input force to the load and sensing the response using one or more sensors. The sensed response may then be used to determine a load stability parameter that may be used in the control of a load wrapping apparatus when wrapping the load.

A pack includes compressible insulation products that each have a longitudinal axis, a peripheral surface, and first and second ends. The pack includes a stack of at least two modules, where each module includes a row of insulation products positioned next to one another along a first direction. The modules of the stack are superimposed along a second direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the insulation products and to the first direction. The pack also includes a cover that wraps the stack by covering five faces of the stack including the two end faces of the stack formed by the ends of the insulation products and at least the periphery of the sixth face of the stack.

An arrangement of Expanded Polystyrene boxes grouped into a tower on a pallet, said boxes being distributed in at least seven rows each comprising three boxes separated by a separation and ordered such that two boxes are placed in parallel side by side along the long axis of the pallet and the third is placed perpendicular to the former, said box arranged perpendicular being at one end of the tower opposite the end of the upper and/or lower row. An Expanded Polystyrene box is also disclosed.

A tray (10) is provided for supporting a plurality of articles (8), such as cartons, where the tray (10) is configured for supporting one or more additional like trays in a stacking arrangement. The tray (10) includes a generally rectangular base (20) and a centrally-located, upstanding divider (30). The divider (30) can be configured to bear compressive loads when one or more like trays with articles are stacked, and the divider (30) having planar sides facing adjacent front and rear ends of the base (20). To help support the divider, a pair of braces (50, 60) extend from the divider (30), with one on each end of the divider (30), to the base (20).
