A system and method for producing a board product made from paper products that have a pre-scored facing in addition to a medium (sometimes called fluting). Conventional corrugated board may feature a cross-corrugated medium and one or more facing that have no score lines that are impressed (at least prior to assembly with the corrugated medium). Such a conventional board product may be inferior because any score lines that are impressed will damage the underlying corrugated medium in some manner. A breakdown in the strength of the underlying medium leads to poor precision when the eventual board product is scored, cut, and folded. A lack of precision in folding a board product leads to gap variation and fishtailing as any articulated portion of the board product may not maintain a precise plane of articulation when folded.

The present invention relates to a box of one or more absorbent articles, the box comprising pairs of opposed side walls, pairs of opposed top flaps foldably connected to corresponding side walls, pairs of opposed bottom flaps foldably connected to corresponding side walls, and a weakened area defined by an external weakened line at one of first opposed side walls. The weakened area comprises a first section and a second section divided by an internal weakened line, and an adhesive tape having a tape width and a tape end, and covering adjacent edges of the second opposed top flaps to seal top of the box. The adhesive tape extends along a portion of the one of first opposed side walls in such a way that the adhesive tape covers part of the second section so as not to cover the internal weakened line.

Example aspects of a dual use box can comprise a side panel enclosure defining a top end and a bottom end; a first primary top panel extending from the top end of the side panel enclosure and comprising a primary address label and a primary adhesive; a second primary top panel extending from the top end of the side panel enclosure, wherein the primary adhesive is configured to attach the first primary top panel to the second primary top panel; a first secondary top panel extending from the top end of the side panel enclosure and comprising a secondary address label and a secondary adhesive; and a second secondary top panel extending from the top end of the side panel enclosure, wherein the secondary adhesive is configured to attach the first secondary top panel to the second secondary top panel.

A retail-ready container includes internal corner supports. The container is erected from a preassembly formed from a combination including a primary blank and a secondary blank. The primary blank includes a side panel, a bottom panel, and a top panel. The secondary blank is selectively adhered to the side panel of the primary substrate. Each of the side panel and the secondary blank include a plurality of sections connected by respective fold lines. Fold lines of the side panel are laterally offset from fold lines of the secondary blank so that unfolding of the preassembly yields the container with internal corner supports.

A container for detergent pods includes a container body and a movable cover, wherein the movable cover has a pair of engagement tabs which, in a closed configuration, engage respective windows to form child-proof engagement formations. The container body and the movable cover are entirely made of paper or cardboard and can be recycled as a paper waste without the need of removing any plastic part.

A machine a mandrel assembly includes a mandrel having an external shape complimentary to an internal shape of at least a portion of a container, a first lift mechanism operatively coupled to a first servomechanism to wrap a first portion of a blank about the mandrel, a second lift mechanism operatively coupled to a second servomechanism to wrap a second portion of the blank about the mandrel, and a folding arm coupled to the first lift mechanism and operatively coupled to a third servomechanism. A control system is in communication with the first servomechanism, the second servomechanism, and the third servomechanism and is configured to transmit a signal to each of the servomechanisms to independently control movement of the first lift mechanism, the second lift mechanism, and the folding arm to wrap at least the first and second portions of the blank about the mandrel to form the container.

A packaging box is fabricated by bending a corrugated cardboard plate and includes a quadrangular tube-shaped body that is rectangular in cross section and a cover for closing an opening of the body. The first cover plate is connected to a first end edge of one of the pair of first circumferential surface plates on a side near the opening and closes the opening. The second cover plate is connected to a second end edge of the other of the pair of first circumferential surface plates on the side near the opening and is adhered to an outer surface of the first cover plate. The second cover plate is split into an adhesive piece that is adhered to the first cover plate and a peeling piece that has one side connected to the second end edge and is peeled off from the adhesive piece along a breaking line.

A retail-ready container includes internal corner supports. The container is erected from a preassembly formed from a single blank. The blank includes a side panel, a bottom panel, and an auxiliary panel. Each of the side panel and the auxiliary panel include a plurality of sections connected by respective fold lines. The auxiliary panel is folded against the side panel and sections of the auxiliary panel are adhered to corresponding sections of the side panel. Fold lines of the side panel are laterally offset from fold lines of the auxiliary panel so that unfolding of the preassembly yields the container with internal corner supports.

A retail ready packaging system includes a convertible carton with a first plurality of slots are defined in a bottom wall adjacent a first side wall, and a second plurality of slots defined in the bottom wall adjacent a second side wall. A plurality of cards are included, wherein each card is seated in one of the slots of the first plurality of slots and in an opposed one of the slots of the second plurality of slots. Each card has a respective foot panel foldably attached to a main panel of the card, wherein the foot panel sits adjacent the bottom wall, and wherein the main panel of the card extends upward from the foot panel toward a top wall of the carton.
