The method includes making a blank from a single web of material, the making including first configuring a first side panel and a second side panel to extend from first opposing ends of a bottom panel, second configuring a ramp panel to extend from a first edge of the first side panel, and third configuring a top panel and a lid panel to extend from second opposing ends of the bottom panel.

The present invention relates to a composite container comprising a bottom film layer and a top film layer at least partially adhered to the bottom film layer. The top film layer is scored to form at least one resealable flap and at least one pull tab which is not adhered to the bottom film layer. The bottom film layer comprises at least one cavity opening. A cardboard layer is adhered on its lower surface to the upper surface of the top film layer, wherein the cardboard layer has at least one cavity opening which is substantially aligned with the scoring of the top film layer resealable flap and the cardboard layer is perforated to define a perimeter of at least one pull tab which is substantially aligned with and adhered, on its underside, to the upper surface of the top film layer pull tab.

Packaging for visually impaired and blind user is disclosed. In one embodiment, a package includes an exterior surface, a first sub-component package, and a second sub-component package. The first sub-component package and the second sub-component package are enclosed by the exterior surface in an interior region of the package. The package further includes a first non-visual message element associated with the first sub-component package, and a second non-visual message element associated with the second sub-component package. The non-visual message elements may be configured as tactile and/or audio non-visual message elements. In some embodiments, wireless signal emitter devices are provided within the package to actuate one or more speaker devices to thereby play auditory signals.

A storage box includes a single sheet of material that, when folded to define the storage box comprises a bottom, side walls, and a flap hinged to one of the side walls. The flap includes a stacking tab that is movable between a use position in which the stacking tab protrudes through a mounting slot and a hidden position in which the stacking tab does not protrude from the storage box. The storage box allows the stacking tabs to be used only when necessary and not protruding from the storage box when not in use.

A foldable container moveable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration defining an interior area for holding bulk material is provided. The container includes opposed side panels and a bottom flap extending from a bottom edge of each side panel. A tab member extends from a distal end of each bottom flap and a tab finger extends from each tab member so as to define a hook at a distal end of each bottom flap. The hooks are interconnected so as to hingedly connect the distal ends of the bottom flaps together, thereby causing the bottom flaps to rotate between their respective stowed and deployed configuration positions as the end panels are translated between their respective stowed and deployed configuration positions. Locking tabs extending from distal ends of end flaps extend into the interior area of the container to secure the container in the deployed configuration.

Locations and conditions of objects within a working environment may be tracked using RFID signals. A working surface within the environment may include a plurality of RFID antennas, and the objects to be tracked may include RFID tags. When one of the objects passes within an operational range of one of the antennas, an RFID signal is transmitted from the tag on the object to the antenna, and the location of the object may be determined based on the location of the antenna. Additionally, where a plurality of tags that are specially associated with a different aspect of a condition of an object are provided thereon, the condition of the object may be determined based on a number of the tags from which RFID signals are received, and the aspects of the condition with which each of such tags is associated.

The present application provides a carton for enclosing one or more products. The carton includes a pair of side walls, a top wall or a bottom wall, an end wall, and a tear away section extending across the pair of sidewalls, the top wall or the bottom wall, and the end wall in a number of perforations and a number of slits. The tear away section defines a notch on the end wall at the intersection of one of the pair of sidewalls.

The present invention relates to a container (1) comprising a bottom panel (2), a front panel (3), two side panels (4), a rear panel (5), and a top panel (6). The front panel (3) and the two side panels (4) each comprises a perforation line (7) so that a hingedly connected lid (8) is obtained when the perforation lines (7) are broken. The perforation line (7) in the front panel (3) is a row of perforations (23) arranged along a line or curve which forms an edge (24) of the lid (8) after the perforations (23) have been broken. Each of the perforation lines (7) in the side panels (4) is a row of perforations (23) each comprising two coherent first and second cuts (26,27) with a blunt angle (α) there between. These perforations (23) are arranged to provide a row of tooth-shaped regions (25), where each tooth-shaped region (25) is delimited by a first cut (26) and a second cut (27), respectively, from two mutually adjacent but non-coherent perforations (23). The first cuts (26) are arranged parallel to each other but staggered so that they are not arranged along one line.

An improved collapsible container configured with a base member and at least one multiple cavity or compartment divider either permanently or removably attached to the base member at a pivot point. The multiple cavity divider is configured to close into a relatively flat portion that can be rotated about the pivot point and positioned against the base portion in a storage state, and the multiple cavity divider is configured to be expanded into an open position about the pivot point to create a number of separate cavities. Further, the base member is configured to provide support for the bottom of each of the cavities when the multiple cavity divider is in the expanded position, and the base member is configured to provide support for the multiple cavity divider when it is in the fold down or storage position.
