A solution for a logistical problem within the beverage industry, specifically related to hot beverages such as coffee and tea; namely, storing the means to sell the beverages, which generally includes a cup, a lid for the cup, and an insulation sleeve that allows holding the cup in a comfortable way for the consumer, avoiding burns due to the high temperatures of the liquid. Thus, the container presented here unifies the 3 elements, comprising a body formed by a base and a wall, where the upper edge of said container has a group of flaps that in their closed position enables liquid containment and prevents spillage in case the container is moved, and through a modification in the cross profile of the wall. Additionally, the container has an insulation sleeve that keeps the contact surface at a low temperature.

A carton for holding at least one article includes a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carton. The plurality of panels includes a top panel, a bottom panel, a front panel, a back panel, and at least one side panel. The top panel is recessed below a portion of each of the front panel, the back panel, and the at least one side panel to form a recessed top portion for receiving a portion of a vertically adjacent carton.

A leak resistant tray and a method of forming the tray from a blank. The blank comprises a bottom panel, first and second side panels, and first and second end portions connected to peripheral edges of the bottom panel. Each end portion includes inner end panel structure having a lower end panel and an upper end panel. Each end portion further includes first and second intermediate panels connected to the first and second side panels, first and second outer end panels connected to respective first and second intermediate panels, and first and second triangular gusset panels, each gusset panel connected between one of the intermediate panels and the lower end panel. First and second gusset trough panels are connected to a respective one of the gusset panels and to a lower edge of one of the outer end panels.

A carton for holding an article. The carton can comprise a plurality of panels that extends at least partially around an interior of the carton. The plurality of panels can comprise a first panel and a second panel. An insert can comprise a central panel, an inner end panel disposed generally opposite to the central panel, an inner side panel foldably connected to the central panel, and an inner flap foldably connected to the inner side panel. The central panel can extend generally parallel to the first panel, the inner side panel can extend generally parallel to the second panel, and the inner end panel can at least partially overlap the inner flap.

A carton with dual, separate, and independent, but adjoining chambers is described; wherein each separate, independent, and adjoining chamber has its own respective spout and removably coupled lid to provide removable closure and access to the given chamber. Such cartons may be used in methods for removably housing (and/or dispensing) a first liquid edible item from a first-chamber and for removably housing (and/or dispensing) a second liquid edible item from a second-chamber. Together the first-chamber and the second-chamber may form the carton. External dimensions of such a carton may be standard. In some embodiments, the first liquid edible item and/or the second liquid edible item may be selected from one or more of: different types of beverages; different types of milks (1%, 2%, skim, whole, non-fat, chocolate, strawberry, and the like); different types of juices, and/or the like.

A method for producing a paper container and a paper container for liquid. A method for producing a paper container for liquid according to an aspect includes a bonding step of bonding a first surface of a substrate and a vapor deposition surface of a barrier laminate film layer via a first adhesive resin layer without applying a corona treatment to the vapor deposition surface of the barrier laminate film layer, a lamination step of laminating at least a second adhesive resin layer on a surface of the barrier laminate film layer on a side opposite to the vapor deposition surface, and a forming step of forming a laminate into a box shape after the bonding step and the lamination step, the laminate including at least the substrate, the first adhesive resin layer, the barrier laminate film layer, and the second adhesive resin layer.

Procedures and devices to transform three dimensional flexible sealed containers of at least two faces or sides and which in their interior contain at least one fluid and, optionally or complementarily, solid or solids, granulates or powders, by folding at least once over itself, towards at least one direction: at least part of at least one flap/triangular shape (36) or strip (37) over at least part of another part of the same flap/triangular shape (36) or strip (37), alongside with also previously and/or posteriously there will be a seal of at least one part by at least one face or side of the flap/triangular body (36) or strip (37) generated and/or being this one folded at least once over itself.

This system supposes improvements regarding the inalterability of the container, economic and ecological considerations by not having to cut the flaps or triangular shapes, keeping it intact, without fissures or tearings in the initial container body, transformed in 3D.

At the same time, the following advantages are important:

by guaranteeing the conservation and useful life of the container without porousness or leaks, from the moment of the 3D transformation until its later opening and consumption of the product contained within.

by not requiring any sort of adhesive or contact glue to attach or fold the flap/triangular shape (36) or strip (37).

by impeding that the Production Facility generates any defective container transformed in 3D.

by having the invention containers be more stable because the support face or side is wider and more consistent, having at least part of the flap/triangular shape (36) or strip (37) as a support surface in the base.
