Aspects of the disclosure relate to a package (92), a carton or tray (90) for packaging one or more articles and a blank (10A, 10B) for forming the carton (90) and a lid (L). The carton comprises a main panel (12), and a plurality of side walls (14, 16, 18) forming a tray (90). The tray (90) may be substantially triangular in shape. At least one of the side walls (14, 16, 18) comprises a major recess (R1, R2, R3) for receiving a portion of a lid (L). The major recess (R1, R2, R3) defines a support edge (SE.sub.1, SE.sub.2, SE.sub.3) for supporting a portion of the lid (L).

Food tray and food related features that provide a structure having a rounded corner appearance and assembly by mechanical folding are provided, among other features. The tray can have a flap directed adjacent and continuing from a series of triangles formed by fold lines wherein the flap is positioned to have a surface that is flush with the surface of an adjacent sidewall when assembled. A series of tab are positioned above the triangles and when assembled the outer edges of the triangles adjoin the tray sidewalls to close the junctions. A heat and pressure process adheres the adjacent surface. The tray can be made from material is recyclable, compostable and/or biodegradable.

A foldable carton is provided. The carton includes a bottom panel, a front panel, a rear panel, end panels, each foldably connected to the edges of the bottom panel. The carton further includes front end flap panels connected to the lateral ends of the front panel and rear end flap panels connected to the lateral ends of the rear panel. Each front end flap panel includes a connecting end section and a triangular fold flap connected to the connected end section. The triangular fold flap is connected to a side edge of the adjacent end panel by a hinged fold line. The connecting end section is secured to the front panel in an overlying arrangement and the triangular fold flap is configured to about the hinged fold line to allow the front panel to freely move between a fully upright position and a partially upright position.

The present invention is directed to a foldable transport container suitable to receive and hold multiple plates with samples in it. The container is comfortable to load, transport and unload. The invention also relates to a strip of material for providing such a foldable transport container. Finally the invention relates to a method for assembling such a foldable container.

A method for producing a bowl formed by a tray closed by a sealing film involves preparing a blank where a first and a second couples of crease lines delimit a bottom panel, two first and two second side walls, each first side wall provided of an internal flap and an external flap delimited by respective third and fourth crease lines, each second side wall provided of an internal flap and an external flap delimited by respective fifth and sixth crease lines, erecting the blank into a tray, folding the internal and external flaps of each first side wall about the respective third crease line and the internal and external flaps of each second side wall about the respective fifth crease line, applying adhesive on the internal and/or external flaps of each first and second side walls, folding the external flap of each first side wall about the respective fourth crease line and the external flap of each second side wall about the respective sixth crease line, forming a rim, applying adhesive on gaps between abutting ends of rims of adjacent first and second side walls, and attaching the sealing film on the rims.

A carrier for holding one or more products. The carrier can comprise a plurality of panels that extends at least partially around an interior of the carrier, the plurality of panels comprising at least a front panel and a side panel. A central panel can at least partially divide the interior of the carrier into a front portion and a back portion. The side panel can extend at least partially from the front panel to the central panel. A lid can at least partially close a top of the carrier.

A cardboard tray folded from an unfolded sheet of cardboard includes: a bottom wall with a circumferential edge formed out of an even number of straight edges; wall parts each arranged to a straight edge of the bottom wall; and first flange parts alternately arranged to subsequent wall parts along the circumferential edge. The first flange parts include at least a first, a second, and a third elongate flange part section, which are connected parallel and along an elongate edge to each other. The first elongate flange part section is arranged to the respective wall part, the third elongate flange part section is connected parallel and along an elongate edge to the second elongate flange part section, the third elongate flange part section is adhered to the outside of the respective wall part, and the second flange part section is double folded against the first flange part section.

A blank for forming a box for packaging and displaying objects includes a flexible sheet with a plurality of panels that fold into a box. Perforated lines of weakness extend between rows of the plurality of panels. A lateral row along the plurality of panels includes a plurality of tabs from which to display the objects.
