Method and apparatus for keeping insects out of shipment loads
An apparatus and method for storing and transporting a load (12) of goods, having been treated or fumigated for insects. The apparatus comprises a bag (10) and a sealing means (14) that seals bag once load (12) is inserted. All or a portion of bag 10 is made with netting, screen, or other porous material (13) that keep insects out of bag (10) but allow for sufficient ventilation of load (12). Bag (10) may be a single piece or multiple pieces and the location of porous material (13) on bag (10) may vary depending on the type of goods contained in load (12). The apparatus may also contain securement means (24) that help hold load (12) in place. The method comprises loading, sealing, transporting, and unloading goods using the described apparatus.

On-the-go package of absorbent articles and method of making
A substantially cuboid reclosable flexible package (8) for transporting multiple personal hygiene absorbent articles on-the-go is disclosed. It has a front wall (81), a rear wall (82), two opposed side walls (83,83) and two opposed end walls (84,84). It includes a stack of at least two personal hygiene absorbent articles (1,100) comprising a garment attachment adhesive covered by a removable release paper (2), and which are folded inwardly with the removable release paper (2) exposed. The folded absorbent articles are free of an individual wrapping pouch and comprise closure means (7) for securing said folding. The package (8) is made of a plastic or paper wrap sealed at one position on either the front (81), the rear (82), or one of the two side walls (83,83), and on the two end walls (84,84). It comprises, on at least one wall, a tear-open flap (86) limited by at least one tearing line (87).
Nesting container carrier
A container carrier and manufacturing method therefore are provided. The container carrier may include a plurality of annular structures connected by bridges. The annular structures may include a side wall formed of side wall portions separated by side wall voids. Each side wall portion has an upper and a lower side wall segment joined at a ledge, with the upper side wall segment having a smaller diameter relative to the lower side wall segment of the side wall portion. Flanges are positioned at the bottom of each side wall void to collectively engage containers. The bottom portion of the lower side wall segment has an inner diameter that is larger than the outer diameter of the upper side wall and smaller than the outer diameter of the ledge such that the bottom of a first container carrier will rest upon the ledge of a second, same-shaped container carrier when stacked.

Transport and storage system
The present invention relates to the field of the transportation and storage of goods and to a transport and storage system and, in particular, a system for the transportation and storage of goods such as palletized goods and self-standing goods. The present invention seeks to provide a system that can enable goods to be securely and reliably horizontally, vertically and offset stacked, despite different sizes of goods and support members therefor, such as pallets, whereby wasted volumes arising from the presence of irregular loads, pallets or pallets of different levels or different load ratings in storage and transport can be minimized.
Load cap
A load cap (10) comprises a central portion (12) having an edge (14), and a rim arrangement (16) on the edge. The rim arrangement comprises a plurality of corrugations (20) extending substantially parallel to the edge.

INTEGRATED EXTERNAL CONNECTORS
Connectors, systems with connectors and processes with connectors are described. These include how connectors can actively hold external portions of two frames or other components together during transport and before final installation, as well as, how the connectors can be repositionable on the frame or other component so as to provide a mechanical connection in one position and not to provide a mechanical connection when moved into a second position. The connectors can also function to provide spacing or alignment or both between frames or other components grouped together using the connectors.
