A holding structure includes receptacles formed by peripherally formed side walls, an annular gap being formed between a side wall of a container or device and one of the peripherally formed side walls when containers or devices are received therein, the receptacles being compressed in a first direction and expanded in a second direction transversely thereto, with the result that the gap is widened to form a widened clearance for handling containers or devices which are received in the receptacles, the holding structure further including an upper side, the peripherally formed side walls including an upper edge which forms a closed, smooth curve having at least one local maximum and at least one local minimum in a direction perpendicular to the upper side of the holding structure, the at least one local minimum being situated in a region of the widened clearance that is respectively assigned.

Disclosed is a drum stacking assembly 100. The assembly 100 comprises a first set of plurality of drums 108a and a second set of plurality of drums 108b, positioned relative amongst each other via a first connector 101 and a second connector respectively. Further, said assembly 100 comprises a pallet 109, wherein a top surface of the pallet 109 comprises a plurality of support shells 601 further comprising at least a plurality of ribs 602 adapted to support the first set of drums 108a. An outer reinforcing ring of the bottom surface of the first set of drums 108a is guided in the plurality of ribs 602. Further, a bottom surface of the pallet 109 comprises a plurality of grooves 202 further comprising at least a plurality of indentations 603 adapted to engage an outer reinforcing ring 301 of the upper surface of the second set of drums 108b.

An ammunition package includes a three panel single piece tri-fold container which folds from an open configuration to a closed configuration via hinges provided for the purpose. The ammunition package further includes a cartridge stabilization plate. Ammunition cartridges stored within the container lie flat, e.g. roughly parallel with respect to the base or bottom of the package. Converting between the open configuration and the closed configuration takes place by folding or unfolding the left and right panels at the hinges with respect to the center panel.

The present invention generally relates to providing a solution or storage vessel, a stackable bottle rack for storing bottled water, namely a Drink Stacker. An improved lightweight rack containing bottles made of plastic such as Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). The stackable bottle rack discloses a two-tier rack, a top and bottom rack. The racks are interchangeable and both racks are comprised of a 12-cylindrical compartment slot where the bottle sits vertically inside the rack. Desirably, complementary corrugated depressions are formed atop the surrounding borders (sides) of the mating rack to provide stable stacking, secure positioning, and support against slippage when racks are stacked. As support when beverages are inserted, the interior has two elongated mating sides which extend from end to end, which permits secure positioning and supporting of the bottles and prevent bottles from dropping or falling out while inserted.

A tray includes a bottom portion including a plurality of protrusion patterns and a sidewall portion protruded from the bottom portion. The sidewall portion includes a first side portion provided with a groove defined therein and extending from the bottom portion, an upper surface extending from the first side portion to a direction away from the bottom portion in a plan view, and a second side portion extending from the upper surface and facing the first side portion.

A delivery tray for medical items includes a plurality of receiving spaces each intended to receive a single medical item. The lower face of the tray has a plurality of caps, the caps being arranged and sized such that when the tray is stacked on a second identical tray, the caps of the tray are able to close the receiving spaces of the second tray. A packaging system comprises a vessel having an opening, a bottom and a peripheral wall. The system also includes a stack formed by a plurality of trays, and a porous lid that is sealed on the upper edge of the peripheral wall of the vessel (10) to close it. The disclosure also relates to a packaging method, in particular, comprising a vacuumization step.
