Corrugated boxes, box blanks, and systems for individually shipping a bag of liquid stored therein and converting into a bag-in-box dispenser are provided. An example system comprises a box with walls defining an opening. A perforation feature is defined on a front wall with a bottom thereof being spaced apart from the box bottom. The perforation feature is removable to enable a dispensing tap of the stored bag to be accessed and positioned to extend past/through the front wall. An insert is designed to be positioned within the box and includes a top surface that is positioned proximate the bottom of the perforation feature to support the stored bag. The box is configured to store a bag of liquid ranging from 2 to 10 liters and is designed to pass individual box shipping test standards, such as ISTA and SIOC test standards. Methods of forming the box are also provided.

A leak proof container and a method of forming the container from a blank. The blank includes a bottom panel, first and second side panels connected to the bottom panel at opposing lateral edges, and first and second end portions located at opposing longitudinal ends of the blank. Each end portion includes an inner end panel connected to the bottom panel, an outer end panel connected to the inner end panel, and first and second corner panels, each corner panel having an edge connected to a respective one of the first and second side panels and having an edge connected to the inner end panel. First and second locking tabs are defined in the outer end panel, each locking tab being defined by a lateral separation line located longitudinally inward from an outer longitudinal edge of the outer end panel and extending laterally to define a free tab end.

A cup, a blank for a cup, and a method for forming a cup. As an example, a cup includes a base having a circular bottom and a rim coupled to a perimeter of the bottom; a sidewall extending upwards from the base between an upper edge and a lower edge, the sidewall being continuously coupled to the rim at the lower edge; a plurality of closure panels integrally connected to and extending from the sidewall at the upper edge, the plurality of closure panels includes a first closure panel having a first cutout and a second closure panel having a second cutout; a straw connected to and extending from a second end of the sidewall and extending upwards from near the lower edge to beyond the upper edge; and a tab connected to and extending from a first end of the sidewall and attaching the first end of the sidewall to a second end of the sidewall.

A packaging container having excellent water repelling properties on the outer or inner surface of the packaging container includes at least an outer resin layer, a paper core layer, and an inner resin layer. Minute protrusions are formed on the surface of the outer resin layer or the inner resin layer, and the minute protrusion structure has a fractal dimension of 1.08 to 1.17, wherein the fractal dimension is a numeric value calculated by the box count method at a resolution at which the length per one pixel is 0.5-1.0 m.

A system and a method for a cup for retaining a liquid. The cup includes a base and a wall. The base and the wall define a container with a space to retain the liquid. A first closure flap and a second closure flap are attached to the wall and extend from the wall. The first closure flap and the second closure flap are foldable relative to the wall. The first closure flap and the second closure flap are foldable between an open position and a closed position. The first closure flap and the second closure flap define a lid when in the closed position. The lid is defined by the first closure flap being folded at least twice to a closed position and the second closure flap being folded at least once to a closed position.
