A container for receiving a gift, having an articulating closure feature such that arms extending from the flap mimic a waving or hugging motion of a character or other design depicted on the character. The container includes pleated sides to accommodate different size gifts and may further include a closing tab to securely close the container and a handle for carrying the container.

An adjustable container capable of being converted from an expanded position to a contracted position and comprises a bottom wall, opposite sidewalls, and opposite end walls foldably joined to one another to form an interior space for containing articles. Each of the opposite sidewalls includes a pair of first gusset panels each of which including two identical coextensive panels having the same height as the side walls and is configured to be perpendicular to the respective sidewalls and the bottom wall. The bottom wall includes a second gusset panels that is defined by two identical coextensive panels and having the same height as the side walls and is folded upwardly out of the plane of the bottom wall and perpendicular thereto when the adjustable container is in the contracted position. The adjustable container also includes an adjustable sleeve that is used to securely cover the container during shipping and transportation.

A package for food products including a first portion, a second portion, and at least one indicator. The first portion has a first closed end, at least one first side wall surrounding the first closed end, and a first open end opposite the first closed end. The second portion has a second closed end, at least one second side wall surrounding said second closed end, and a second open end opposite the second closed end. The first portion and second portion are movably connected at their respective open ends. The at least one indicator is placed in communication with the package such that when the package is expanded to a desired inner volume the indicator is activated. The closed end of either portion may be opened when a desired inner volume of a food product is reached.

The present disclosure provides low volume, highly adjustable packaging that reduces surface area by 25% and overall material by 60% compared with standard boxes. In some embodiments, the presence of a telescoping sleeve, that is slightly wider than and slides over a mating sleeve, allows the length of the packaging to be adjusted. These volume and length reductions save approximately two-thirds of shipping costs. Further, in some embodiments, strategically placed scoring allows the packaging to flex and contour to the shape of a three-dimensional object to be placed in the packaging. In addition, reinforced corners protect contents of the package, and, in some embodiments, portions of the packaging are designed to be repurposed as artwork.

A volume-adjustable package box is a device that can be easily reduced to retain a smaller amount of products. The device includes a foldable piece of boxing material designed to be easily assembled to retain an amount of product. The foldable piece of boxing material also enables the removal of sections of the boxing material to form a smaller package box. The foldable piece of boxing material includes a backing pair of folding lines, a cutaway pair of perforated lines, and a secondary lengthwise-tab-defining folding line. The backing pair of folding lines indicate where the foldable piece of boxing material can be folded to form the backing of the package box. The cutaway pair of perforated lines facilitate the removal of boxing material to reduce the size of the package box. The secondary lengthwise-tab-defining folding line enables the folding of a secondary lengthwise tab for the reduced package box.

A blank formable into packaging defining an interior and having a thickness includes a main panel, a first side expansion assembly connected to the main panel, a second side expansion assembly connected to the main panel opposite the first side expansion assembly, a bottom expansion assembly connected to the main panel adjacent both the first side expansion assembly and the second side expansion assembly, and a top panel assembly. The top panel assembly includes a selectable thickness bend element. The top panel assembly encloses the packaging by securing to the bottom expansion assembly. The selectable thickness bend element bends at varying locations within the top panel assembly. The first side expansion assembly, the second side expansion assembly, and the bottom expansion assembly are configured to expand such that the packaging can be arranged in a plurality of arrangements.
