A tamper evident food container 1 made from a foldable sheet material, including a base portion and a lid portion attached to the base portion. The container 1 further includes a locking tab insertable into a slot to retain the container 1 in a closed position. The container 1 further includes a release assembly for enabling release of the locking tab, the release assembly including a frangible line of weakness 15 for facilitating tearing of the release assembly, the frangible line of weakness 15 dividing the release assembly into sections 15, 17 which separate upon tearing of the line of weakness to expose the locking tab for release and opening of the container 1. As the container 1 needs to be physically damaged in order to open, a consumer is easily able to identify if their container 1 has been tampered with or opened prior to taking delivery.

An intermediate article for assembly to form a container, the intermediate article having a base which is polygonal in plan and having an annular peripheral edge with a plurality of edge portions surrounding a base wall structure, a plurality of wall elements around the base, each wall element being adjacent to a respective edge portion of the polygonal base, wherein each wall element has a pair of opposite outwardly extending edges having a sidewall structure therebetween, each outwardly extending edge comprising at least one member of a respective fixing mechanism for affixing adjacent outwardly extending edges of adjacent wall elements, wherein the sidewall and the base are composed of an injection moulded thermoplastic polymer, and a flexible sheet having a central part which is bonded to the base wall structure and a plurality of extending parts, each extending part being connected to, and extending away from, the central part, each extending part being bonded to the sidewall structure of a respective wall element, wherein each extending part is connected to the central part by a respective hinge part of the flexible sheet, whereby each wall element is hingedly connected to the base by the respective hinge part, wherein the wall elements can be hinged upwardly relative to the base to form a container having a sidewall which is polygonal in plan and defines a central concavity for packaging a product, wherein the sidewall has the plurality of wall elements which are connected in series to form an endless wall member extending upwardly from the base, each outwardly extending edge being affixed to an adjacent outwardly extending edge of an adjacent wall element by a respective fixing mechanism at a respective corner portion of the sidewall.

A foldable container includes a foldable supporting frame, at least one operation switch arranged on the foldable supporting frame, and a container body supported on the foldable supporting frame. The operation switch is actuated through a pulling operation to move the foldable supporting frame between an unfolded mode and a folded mode. The container has an edge and an opening formed within the edge. At the unfolded mode, the opening is opened. At the folded mode, the opening is closed. The container body is automatically folded as the foldable supporting frame is moved from the unfolded mode to the folded mode. Via a folding method, the foldable supporting frame is folded to reduce an overall size for occupying less storage space when it is not in use.

A packaging box includes a box body and at least one side cover. The box body includes a first sheet, a second sheet, a first opening, a second opening, and a first side portion. The second sheet is arranged opposite to the first sheet. The first sheet, the second sheet, and the first portion have a detachable sheet. The side cover covers the first opening and includes a first body sheet covering the first opening and a second body sheet fixed to the first opening with a protruding sheet. When the detachable sheet is detached, the box body is folded in half and the protruding sheet is bent and inserted into the second opening to fix the folded box body. A part of the box body where the detachable sheet is detached is used as a fixing portion. The packaging box serves packaging and supporting by changing shape.

A box assembly can include an exterior piece including a first middle portion, a second middle portion, a third middle portion, and a fourth middle portion; the first middle portion and the third middle portion positioned perpendicular to the second middle portion and the fourth middle portion; a plurality of insulator pads including a first side insulator pad, a second side insulator pad, and a third side insulator pad; the first side insulator pad contacting the first middle portion; the second side insulator pad contacting the first middle portion, the second middle portion, and the third middle portion; the third side insulator pad contacting the third middle portion; and an interior piece positioned within the exterior piece, the interior piece including a first side panel and a second side panel; the first side insulator pad positioned between the first side panel and the first middle portion.

A wedge shaped container formed from a folded web of flexible material. The container comprises a base (1), a rear wall (2) connected to the base, and a pair of upstanding side walls decreasing in height from the rear wall to the opposite end of the base. Each side wall is formed of two side wall panels (4, 6) connected at an edge of the base and connected by a hinge joint. From a fold-flat configuration, folding of the rear wall (2) away from the base (1) causes the side wall panels (4, 6) to be folded inwardly into the erected configuration. The container may have an integral lid (8). The invention also extends to a method of making a blank using a sequence of cuts to create unsupported file regions.

A packaging assembly includes a packaging enclosure with a bottom closure that folds into a flap with a latch that locks into an opening on a face of the packaging enclosure. Upper faces of the packaging enclosure allow for juxtaposing and superposing a plurality of the packaging enclosures and providing space for air to circulate between them.

A tray container includes a paper-based material having a number of sides extending from a container bottom. Each side has a proximal end that is contiguous with the container bottom and a distal end that is configured to fold into a bonding surface and a reinforced portion. The bonding surface and the reinforced portion each include two layers of the container material. The tray container has a perimeter bonding surface that includes each bonding surface of the container sides. A support ring is attached to the perimeter bonding surface, defining a cover bonding surface to which a film or mesh cover may be bonded.

A foldable container includes a foldable supporting frame, at least one operation switch arranged on the foldable supporting frame, and a container body supported on the foldable supporting frame. The operation switch is actuated through a pulling operation to move the foldable supporting frame between an unfolded mode and a folded mode. The container has an edge and an opening formed within the edge. At the unfolded mode, the opening is opened. At the folded mode, the opening is closed. The container body is automatically folded as the foldable supporting frame is moved from the unfolded mode to the folded mode. Via a folding method, the foldable supporting frame is folded to reduce an overall size for occupying less storage space when it is not in use.
