A packaging bag is a packaging bag made of a laminate formed in a bag shape which is in a rectangular shape in plan view, the laminate being composed of a sheet-shaped substrate made of a resin, a cushioning material made of a foamed resin sheet laminated on an inner side relative to the substrate, and a sealant layer laminated on an inner side relative to the cushioning material. The packaging bag includes a seal section in which the sealant layers are sealed to each other on one end edge in a flow direction (MD direction) of the foamed resin sheet, the seal section extending in a direction perpendicular to the flow direction of the foamed resin sheet, wherein a notch is formed in the seal section to be oriented to the other end edge in the flow direction of the foamed resin sheet.

Molded foam articles are provided. The molded foam articles are formed from polylactic acid and are capable of a number of post-processing or secondary uses. Forming the molded foam articles from polylactic acid advantageously extend the life of the molded bead foam article by permitting users to cut, heat, adhere, modify, and repurpose the molded foam articles.

A temperature insulated packaging system includes a container having interior surface bounding an interior volume and a liner disposed within the interior volume and at least partially bounding a compartment configured to receive an item for temperature insulated shipping. The liner includes a first sleeve made of cellulose material and at least partially bounds a channel. The first sleeve has an outside wall disposed adjacent to the container and an opposing inside wall disposed adjacent to the compartment configured to receive the item for shipping, the channel being disposed between the inside wall and the outside wall. At least one insulation sheet is disposed within the channel of the first sleeve, the at least one insulation sheet being made of a cellulose material and having a plurality of recesses formed thereon.

A piezoelectric generator structure disposed between an upper platform and a lower platform that includes a lower piezoelectric pad, an upper piezoelectric pad, and a connecting shaft. The lower piezoelectric pad coupled to the upper piezoelectric pad via the connecting shaft, where the lower piezoelectric pad is configured to compress under a downward motion of the upper platform during a compression movement due to an additional load being applied to an existing load on a top surface of the upper platform, where the lower piezoelectric pad produces a first voltage due to the compression movement. The upper piezoelectric pad configured to compress under an upward motion of the upper platform during a rebound movement of the upper platform, where the upper piezoelectric pad produces a second voltage due to the rebound movement. The generator structure configured to provide the first and the second voltage to a coupled power storage unit.

A hardened, aroma-trapping carrying case that is an airtight, water resistant, odor proof container assembly with first and second substantially polycarbonate container portions, the first polycarbonate container portion pivotally coupled to the second polycarbonate container portion and designed to be opened or closed, the rim portions designed to interleave contiguously to create a substantially airtight seal for true aromatherapy containment. An assembly of at least two flexible strips of metal or plastic with interlocking projections coupled to the rim portions of the container assembly is designed to coupled or uncoupled the rim portions to each other by pulling a slide assembly along the assembly of at least two flexible strips of metal or plastic with interlocking projections. At least one substantially polyurethane layer assembly and at least one substantially activated charcoal layer assembly contiguously lines the interior of the container assembly. A lock assembly is designed to prevent pulling the slide assembly when the container is closed.

This application discloses a pallet and a packaging device. The pallet includes: a plate body configured to support stacked cargoes; and a positioning structure connected to the plate body, where the plate body includes a bottom plate, a top plate, a plurality of foot piers, and a plurality of through holes, the bottom plate is located at the bottom of the plate body, the top plate is located at the top of the bottom plate, the bottom plate is arranged parallel to the top plate, the top plate and the bottom plate are fixedly connected through the plurality of foot piers, the plurality of through holes are located between the bottom plate and the top plate, and the positioning structure is arranged in the through hole.

Disclosed is a smart device housing configured to fixably attach to a beverage vessel comprising a domed surface at a distal end, the domed surface adjacent a wall terminating at a lip, the smart device housing comprising an exterior configured as a transformable shape enabling a locking fit between the lip and the domed surface of the beverage vessel. Also disclosed is a system wherein a smart device comprises at least one proximity, image or distance sensor having a beam of detection with a path, the sensor located and directed such the beam of detection covers a location where a coupler can be attached to the beverage vessel, the smart device configured to determine whether the coupler is attached to the beverage vessel by measuring whether the path is obstructed by the coupler. Also disclosed is a method of determining the fill status of a beverage container.

A composite board structure and a box structure. According to the composite board structure, by using through holes (214) and pits (21), under the condition of greatly reducing the material and manufacturing costs, the structural performance of the board is improved, and the bending strength of the board is improved, so that the board can replace the existing boards such as corrugated paper, can be applied to structures such as a box, can replace the existing board and box structures under the condition of greatly reducing the material and manufacturing costs, can also be repeatedly used, and has great contribution to environmental protection and related industries.
