A reinforced package comprising a carton comprising a front panel, a first side panel foldably connected to the front panel along a first fold line, a back panel foldably connected to at least the first side panel along a second fold line, and a second side panel foldably connected to at least one of the front and back panels. A bag is at least partially attached to the carton. An access feature can be selectively opened for receiving products into the interior space of the bag. The access feature extends in at least a portion of the carton and the bag. The carton can be positionable in a non-erect position wherein the interior space of the bag is at least partially collapsed and in an erect position wherein the interior space of the bag is increased. The first side panel and the second side panel comprise retention features for retaining the carton in the erect position.

A container, movable between collapsed and expanded conditions, has a plurality of walls connected between bottom and top structures. A first wall of the plurality of walls includes first and second sections that connect together at a fold line about which the sections are rotatable between first wall collapsed and expanded conditions. The first section is connected to the bottom structure and the second section is connected to the top structure. The first wall is expandable by rotation of the first section relative to the second section in a first direction of rotation about the fold line from the first wall collapsed condition and into engagement with an abutment at the first wall expanded condition which arrests further rotation of the first section relative to the second section. The first wall is maintained in the first wall expanded condition by a load applied to the first wall.

The disclosure relates to a box having an inner part and an outer part for receiving the inner part in a closed arrangement of the box. The inner part has a base wall and at least two inner side walls, each inner side wall having a respective inner locking tab abutting the outside of a respective one of the at least two inner side walls and forming a respective inner locking edge. The outer part has a cover wall and at least two outer side walls, each outer side wall having a respective outer locking tab abutting the inside of a respective one of the at least two outer side walls and forming a respective outer locking edge. The inner locking edges are in engagement with the outer locking edges in the closed arrangement of the box to prevent separation of the outer part and the inner part.

The invention is directed to straight, consistent body scores on plastic corrugated boxes and a process for making the body scores.

Aspects of the invention are directed toward a carrier (90) for containing a product. The carrier comprises first, second and third connected side panels (16a/16b, 116a/116b, 216a/216b, 316a/316b; 14, 114, 214, 314; 12, 112, 212, 312) which define a three-sided tubular structure having a triangular cross-section. The carrier has a substantially triangular-shaped, crash-bottom-style, bottom wall. Parts (24b/26b, 20b/32, 22b; 124b/126b, 120b/132, 122b; 224b/226b, 220b/232, 222b; 324b/326b, 320b/332, 322b) of the bottom wall are coupled to the first, second and third side panels. The carrier has a mechanical interlocking feature (T1, T2, S1, S2); and a multi-part mechanical locking mechanism. A first top-end closure panel (16a/16b 116a/116b; 215a/215b; 315a/315b) comprises a first part (A1) of said multi-part mechanical locking mechanism. A second top-end closure panel (20a; 120a; 220a; 320a) and a first handle panel (34; 134; 234; 334) coupled thereto, comprise a second part (N2; 334) of the multi-part mechanical locking mechanism; and a third top end closure panel (22a; 122a; 222a; 322a) and a second handle panel (36; 136; 236; 336) coupled thereto, comprise a third part (N1; 336) of said multi-part mechanical locking mechanism.

A system and method of at least partially forming reinforced packages. The method comprises moving a web of material in a downstream direction through a web forming section, at least partially forming at least a bag portion in the web of material during the moving the web of material through the web forming section, forming an attached web by adhering a construct to the bag portion of the web of material, and moving the attached web through a separating station. The moving the attached web can comprise moving the construct with the web of material. The method further can comprise separating the bag portion from a remainder of the web of material to form a bag during the moving the attached web through the separating station, the bag being attached to the construct.

A box comprising: a first pair of opposing side panels; a second pair of opposing side panels connecting the first pair of side panels; a pair of top panels, each top panel joined to one of the side panels of the first pair of opposing side panels; and a handle assembly, the handle assembly comprising: a handle portion, the handle portion attached to one of the pair of top panels, the handle portion comprising a tab at a side end of the handle portion, and a locking panel, the locking panel attached to one of the side panels of the second pair of side panels, the locking panel defining a cut pattern, the cut pattern defining a space therewithin; wherein the space within the cut pattern is configured to receive the tab; and wherein the handle portion is configured to fold from an upright configuration to a folded-down configuration.
