A system of decorating a housing that includes a base and a plurality of decorative elements. The decorative elements are irremovably disposed on or partially in the base. The width and depth of the base is less than or equal to the width and depth of the bottom inner surface dimensions of the housing such that the bottom inner surface area of the housing is entirely covered by one or more bases.

What is disclosed is a container for transporting and storing goods, having a floor and side walls extending from the floor. In accordance with the invention, at least one of the side walls or a part thereof is formed by a grid-like structure which is extensible and compressible or able to be pulled apart and squeezed together at least in one direction and within the side wall plane so as to demarcate or to close the container toward the side in a first position and to release the container toward the side in a second position.

A system for elevating polymeric crates with mounted sidewall assembly is described; a respective method of elevating polymeric crates with sidewall mountable assemblies and a kit-of-parts implementable for elevating polymeric crates with sidewall mountable assemblies are further described; the system comprises: a polymeric crate comprising a pair of longitudinal sidewalls and a pair of flanking sidewalls, at least one sidewall mountable elevating assembly comprising a pair of longitudinal members and a pair of flanking members; the method comprises: providing polymeric crate, providing pair of longitudinal members, providing pair of flanking members, mounting flanking members on polymeric crate, mounting longitudinal members on polymeric crate, assembling flanking members to longitudinal members; the kit-of-parts comprises: at least a pair of longitudinal members and at least a pair of flanking members.

A modular and reusable packaging system has a plurality of interconnecting pieces. The pieces have a rigid construction and are configured to connect with adjacent pieces to form the walls of the shipping container. The system also has a closure piece having a locking mechanism configured to releasably engage with at least two of the plurality of pieces when the locking mechanism is operated to securely lock the pieces together. Container forming pieces may have tracking devices that can be used to track location and use, for example. The tracking device may be an RFID tag attached to one or more of the plurality of pieces.

Disclosed herein are modular container systems having child-resistant containers, tray inserts and tray frames. Also disclosed are methods using the modular container systems and methods of storing substances in containers. The containers have a container base and a container cap and provide for child-resistant containers. A user can releasably remove the container cap from container base with a squeeze and lift sequence. For example, the user squeezes opposite sides of the container base, which releases a locking mechanism and allows for removal of the cap by lifting or pulling the container cap off from the container base. The components of the modular container system are modular and stackable. The modular system allow for organized, efficient, accessible and storage of the child-resistant containers. The modular container system also allows for easy counting, sorting and processing of the containers.

A container assembly includes a first component, a second component, and a third component. Each component has an outer wall, a side wall extending upward from the outer wall, and a lip extending outward around a perimeter of the side wall. Each of the lips of the components are releasably lockable with another lip to form a modular container assembly.

A rollingly conveyable transport unit (1) comprises a container shell (10) and an internal space (28), provided within the container shell, for accommodating a product (90) to be packaged. The container shell comprises two or more shell parts (11, 12) that are reversibly connected to one another in a force-fit manner by a closing element.

Disposable containers with a tamper indicative hatch for sample removal, methods of manufacturing and using the same are described; the containers are configured with a closure essentially obstructing the hatch, so that upon opening the hatch, the container bears a visually apparent indication that the closure has been subjected to tampering and opening.

A carton includes a tray having at least one locking tab; and a sleeve having an inner wall having indentations, in which the tray and the sleeve are shaped and sized to enable the tray to move within the sleeve. Then at least one locking tab is configured to engage at least one of the indentations to allow the tray to move in a first direction relative to the sleeve and provide a resistance to discourage the tray from moving in a second direction opposite the first direction relative to the sleeve.
