An apparatus includes a receptacle configured to hold contents in a defined cavity, a device configured to fasten and secure the contents within the receptacle, and a tag configured to attach from a first attachment point on the receptacle to a second attachment point on the receptacle after the contents are placed within the receptacle.

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to apparatus and methods for applying reusable wrapping device on goods to be transported on a transportation carrier, such as a pallet. More particularly, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a cart and wrapping device holder assembly for applying reusable pallet wrapping devices over palletized materials.

A process for safeguarding a product during transportation includes forming a package by surrounding a product with packaging material and accommodating the package in an external packaging that includes a carrier element and a bag element. The carrier element includes an upper side including a border and a lower side opposite the upper side, wherein the lower side includes a base. Further, the bag element includes a base and a bag opening with a border opposite the base of the bag element. The package is accommodated in the external packaging by loading the package onto the carrier element such that the package is carried by the carrier element and loading the carrier element via the bag opening into the bag element such that the bag element surrounds the carrier element and the bag element extends on the upper side of the carrier element beyond the border of the carrier element.

The present invention provides a package of a filter tow bale made of cellulose acetate packed with a packing material in a non-hermetic state, which can be stacked in multistage and in which tows in the same bale can be uniformly maintained. The package of the filter tow bale made of cellulose acetate is packed with the packing material in the non-hermetic state, in which the filter tow bale is tightened with the packing material in the package, the filter tow bale has a cubic shape or a rectangular parallelepiped shape with 800 to 1,400 mm in length, 800 to 1,150 mm in width, and 800 to 1,100 mm in height, and a packing initial pressure between a top surface of the filter tow bale and the packing material is 6.3 kPa or less.

A convertible pallet alternately displays and ships/transports associated product received thereon is disclosed herein. The pallet includes a substantially planar support member for receiving the associated product thereon. At least first and second wheels are mounted to the pallet. A convertible support surface is movably mounted to the pallet, the convertible support surface having (i) a first position where the convertible support surface receives loads imposed on the upper surface and transfers the loads directly to an associated surface, and (ii) a second position where the wheels extend outwardly from the lower surface for engagement with the associated surface so that loads imposed on the upper surface are transferred to the associated surface through the wheels and for converting the pallet into a movable cart.

A removeable band for confining a stack of cutlery pieces. The band can include a body having a first end and a second end. The body being an elongated strip of fiber-based material. A window can be formed through the body, and an adhesive can be disposed at least partially over the window. The adhesive can be configured to adhere a portion of the first end of the body to a portion of the second end of the body when the ends of the body overlap to form a continuous band.

A reclosable container for fluid products is provided. The reclosable container has a containment body provided with a neck ending in a dispensing mouth, and a closure member having a gripping element beneath which lies a stopper tip for closing the dispensing mouth and a removable collar associated with the gripping element along a preestablished break area and rigidly attachable to the neck. In a closed configuration, the dispensing mouth is completely covered by the closure member so that it is not possible for a user's fingers to come into contact with the dispensing mouth when opening the container, avoiding contamination of calibrated drops of the fluid products.

An assembly of stacked mattresses and a method for preparing such an assembly are provided. The assembly of stacked mattresses comprises a first pallet, a second pallet, a plurality of mattresses positioned between the first pallet and the second pallet and straps coupling the first pallet to the second pallet, the plurality of mattresses being in a compressed state between the first pallet and the second pallet and the straps restraining expansion of the plurality of mattresses. The second pallet is comprised of a supporting member and a plurality of elongated reinforcing members extending across the supporting member, at least some of the reinforcing members including respective strap guiding members extending longitudinally along the elongated reinforcing member. At least some of the straps engage respective ones of the strap guiding members of the plurality of elongated reinforcing member of the second pallet so that displacement of the straps is constrained by the strap guiding members. In accordance with another aspect, a pallet for using in shipping bedding products is provided.

Methods of positioning a protective sheet over a stack of goods comprise: engaging a lifting device to lift a first elongate member adjacent to a first side of the stack; projecting a positioning strap from a positioning strap projector, such that the positioning strap passes over a top of the stack and down a second side of the stack; securing the positioning strap and disengaging the first elongate member so that the sheet is free of the lifting device; applying tension to the positioning strap to pull the first elongate member across the top of the stack towards the second side of the stack whilst also lifting a second elongate member up the first side of the stack; and once the sheet is in place over the stack, securing the securing strap to a respective location at or near a base of the first and second sides of the stack.
