A case for beverage containers comprising a single continuous waterproof surface having walls and a floor and defining a container space, the container space being expandable by the movement of at least one of the walls so as to expand the container space.

A tray for supporting a food product includes a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the tray, the plurality of panels including a central panel, at least one side panel, and at least one end panel. At least one corner flap is foldably connected to the at least one end panel, and at least one adjustment feature receives at least a portion of the at least one corner flap such that the tray is reconfigurable between an erected configuration and a collapsed configuration.

A collapsible container (200) for a product (202) that may be elastically compressible. The collapsible container design may reduce or prevent damage or permanent deformation of the collapsible container during lacement of a load on the container. The collapsible container includes a plurality of collapsible panels (106A-D) that articulate in a specific manner during placement of a load, resulting in a controlled and temporary partial collapse of the container from an expanded position to a collapsed position. After removal of the load from the collapsible container, the elastically compressible product may decompress and force the collapsible container to expand from the collapsed position back to the expanded position.

A box suitable for the packaging of a consumer product is formed by helically wrapping an elongated continuous strip of material around a mandrel to form a main body with a plurality of bands. In one embodiment, adjacent bands partially overlie one another to form a multi-paneled main body with an open top end and an open bottom end. An adhesive is disposed within the region of contact between adjacent bands to retain the shape of the main body. First and second sets of slots are formed in the main body to create flaps dimensioned to selectively enclose the open top and bottom ends, respectively. To define the flaps and promote pivotal articulation, the main body is also preferably provided with score lines. By adjusting the configuration of the mandrel, a customized box can be constructed that is sized to receive a consumer product with limited wasted space.

A package for holding at least one product includes a carton and at least one insert. The carton includes a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carton to form at least one corner of the carton. The at least one insert is at least partially disposed in the interior of the carton adjacent the at least one corner to reinforce the carton, and includes a first panel, a second panel, and an intermediate portion between the first panel and the second panel. Each of the first panel and the second panel is attached to a respective panel of the plurality of panels and the intermediate portion is free from attachment to the plurality of panels.

An overbox packaging system for a high aspect ratio inner box includes an outer box, at least four modular packaging inserts, and tape to seal the outer box closed. Four modular packaging inserts are adapted to a width of the high aspect ratio inner box by selective removal of zero or more first tear-away pieces and are adapted to a difference in a second dimension of the outer box in the inner box by selective removal of zero or more second tear-away pieces of at least two of the four modular packaging inserts. A second module of additional modular packaging inserts is removed, leaving a first module which is adapted to the width of the high aspect ratio inner box by selective removal of zero or more first tear-away pieces and placed in the outer box with its slot holding a section of the inner box.

A container for holding one or more articles includes a plurality of panels for extending at least partially around an interior of the container. The plurality of panels includes a front panel, a back panel, at least one side panel, a bottom panel, and a divider panel separably connected to a panel of the plurality of panels. The divider panel is pivotable relative to the panel of the plurality of panels to define a compartment in the interior of the container.

An insert formed from a one-piece blank of sheet material. The insert comprises a first half comprising a first plurality of connected panels; a second half connected to the first half and comprising a corresponding, second plurality of connected panels; a first and second end comprising lateral extensions extending from respective first and second opposing ends of two panels from each of the first and second plurality of panels; and a plurality of popout tabs extending outward from an outer surface of the insert. The first and second half define respective first and second internal receiving areas each surrounded on all sides and on opposing ends by (i) two layers of the sheet material and/or (ii) an air gap defined between the outer surface of the insert and an adjacent portion of an overwrap material. A one-piece blank of sheet material for forming a shipping insert is also provided.

The present invention relates to a box insert and a box system that uses said box insert. The box insert may have an insert bottom and four insert side walls extending from the insert bottom. A flap may extend from each insert side wall. Each flap may have a first panel connected to its respective insert side wall by a first score line, a second panel connected to the first panel by a second score line, and a third panel connected to the second panel by a second score line. The box insert may be configured inside of a box whereby one of the score lines of each flap is folded over a box edge to suspend the box insert inside of the box. A box lid may be configured over the box insert to help secure the box insert to the box.

A foldable pizza box and method of preparing the foldable pizza box for disposal. The foldable pizza box includes a plurality of perforations placed on several surfaces thereof, bisecting the foldable pizza box into two symmetrical halves and imparting flexibility to the foldable pizza box along the perforations. The foldable pizza box includes triangular punch-outs, formed by perforations, that add additional flexibility to the foldable pizza box when displaced or removed. The foldable pizza box may be easily folded along the perforations, thereby making the foldable pizza box more compact. After folding the foldable pizza box, the foldable pizza box may be easily disposed in a waste or recycling receptacle.
