A box is made by folding a sheet of material. Preferably, the box is formed by applying adhesive and folding using a machine, and a waterproof or water resistant coating is applied so that the box is configured for use as a cooler. The box includes (a) a storage portion, including a bottom panel, a first end panel, a second end panel, a first side panel, and a second side panel; (b) four corner panels; (c) a top panel including tabs; and (d) a latching panel attached to the first side panel and pivotable relative thereto about a fold line, the latching panel including first and second subpanels. The latching panel includes cuts extending between and dividing the first and second subpanels through which the tabs respectively extend when the cooler is in a closed position.

A one-piece blank for a cuboid folding box includes five main panel segments arranged in a row and separated from one another on transverse sides via main fold lines, a second secondary panel segment adjoining a second main panel segment on a longitudinal side, including an edge, and adjoining the second main panel segment via a second secondary fold line, and a third secondary panel segment adjoining a third main panel segment on a longitudinal side via a third secondary fold line. The secondary fold lines are perpendicular to the main fold lines, a first perforation line extends over the third main panel segment and at least partially over the third secondary panel segments. The third secondary panel segments are each divided by the first perforation line into a first region adjacent to the second secondary panel segment and a second region adjacent to the fourth secondary panel segment. Shapes of the second secondary panel segments and a course of the first perforation line are such that, in a folded state, the second secondary panel segments overhang the first perforation line in a region of the third secondary panel segments.

An exemplary, nonlimiting embodiment of the present disclosure provides a box, as well as a method of use for the box, which may be opened and closed without substantially compromising the structural integrity of the box. The box comprises a base, at least four walls, and a segmental lid. The segmental lid comprises a first, second, third, and fourth flap. The first and fourth flaps further comprise a first and second pivotable tab, respectfully. The pivotable tabs are pivotally configurable and are preferably configured to be oriented in substantially opposing directions, relative to one another when the first and fourth flap are disposed in their respective closed or open positions. The method comprises disposing each of the flaps into their closed positions, respectively, such that the box may be subsequently opened without substantially compromising the structural integrity of the box.

Described herein is a food holder including a multiple-panel sleeve that may include a front panel, a rear panel, two front-side panels and two back-side panels that form an irregular shape. The multiple-panel sleeve includes a bottom member connected to bottom edges of the front and rear panels. The irregular, tapered shape of the bottom member promotes the structural integrity of the food holder.

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 pizza box for containing a baked pizza is provided. The pizza box is suitable for assuming a box-like configuration and has a base, a lid, side walls, a front wall, a rear wall, and flaps joined to the side walls, the flaps being suitable for being removably constrained by engagement in flap coupling seats on the front wall. At least one flap has a gripping portion which, when the pizza box is in a closed configuration, extends externally, allowing a pulling force to be applied to the gripping portion to disengage the at least one flap from at least one of the flap coupling seats and to bring the pizza box into a laterally open configuration. A blank for producing a pizza box in a single piece is also provided.

A container for holding a food product. The container can comprise a flange comprising a central panel. An opening can extend in the central panel. The container further can comprise a sidewall comprising at least a panel foldably connected to the central panel and a denesting feature extending outwardly from the sidewall. The denesting feature can be for engaging a nested container positioned below the container in a stacked arrangement and for forming a denesting gap between the flange and the nested container.
