The present disclosure is directed to various packaging devices or arrangements and the blanks configured to form the inner and outer packages that make up the devices. The blanks typically include a plurality of panels that are folded and bonded together to define a compartment when formed into a package. The compartment may be employed to store a consumable product, such as cartridges for an aerosol delivery device. Related methods for forming the blanks into the packages are also provided.

A material storage and transport system is disclosed. The material storage and transport system can include a material storage tray forming a storage volume defined by a bottom and walls extending up from the bottom along a perimeter of the bottom. The material storage and transport system can also include a releasable strap adapted to extend across the bottom when in a securing configuration and a sample carrier, including at least one sample secured to a sample support substrate by a molded sheet. The material storage and transport system can include a hinged lid that is integrally connected to a wall of the material storage tray, and configured to convert between a folded-in position, an opened position, and a closed position.

Medical packaging for the sterile storage of medical articles in a hermetically and sterile sealable packaging sleeve. The packing generally includes at least two parts, with a sealed, film-like outer packaging, which at least partially encloses the packaging sleeve in a form-fitting manner and provides a pressure that is reduced with respect to the atmosphere. At least one end face of the packaging sleeve may be designed to be flattened, wherein a length of the outer packaging is generally longer than a length of the packaging sleeve and projects beyond the end face region of the packaging sleeve. A sealing or welding seam may be arranged at least in the end face region of the packaging sleeve, wherein at least one of the end faces of the packaging sleeve, preferably both end faces, are designed so as to be flattened off. The end-sided transition from the packaging sleeve into the outer packaging is substantially wrinkle free.

The invention is directed to a balanced process for extrusion of a plastic corrugated sheet or blanks, and subsequent converting of the blanks into plastic boxes. The process includes conveying the blanks to a plurality of forming stations for incrementally forming features on the blank needed for forming a box. The present process is performed at a slower speed than typical paper corrugated forming.

A system and method for storing, shipping, and displaying produce in a box which has a tamper-evident closure. The box may be formed of folded cardboard and a transparent plastic lid which engages top edges of the box. The lid has a plurality of tabs around its periphery that may be bent and inserted into slots or notches formed in the box edges, and then expand to a larger relaxed size. The slots or notches have perforated lines enabling the lid to be ripped upward to open the box, thus indicating that the container has been tampered with.

A container configured for at least partially containing fresh meat can include a base panel above which an interior space of the container is defined. The base panel can be configured to support fresh meat, and elongate interior passageways can be at least partially defined by the base panel. Openings can be respectively open to the plurality of interior passageways for allowing fluid from the fresh meat in the interior space of the container to flow into the interior passageways. The container can be configured to at least partially retain the fluid in the interior passageways, including opposite end sections of at least some of the interior passageways being closed to at least partially define compartments for receiving and retaining the fluid.

A covered container manufacturing device for manufacturing a resin covered container that includes: a container main body; an outer cover portion that opens and closes the container main body; and a hinge portion that couples the container main body with the outer cover portion, and wherein the container main body, the outer cover portion and the hinge portion are integrally formed, the covered container manufacturing device including: an angle regulator that regulates a relative angle of the outer cover portion with respect to the container main body to a predetermined angle of less than 180 degrees, wherein the angle regulator comprises: a heater that comprises a heating portion that generates heat and heats the hinge portion; and a bender that bends the outer cover portion relative to the container main body at the heated hinge portion, wherein the heater heats inside of the hinge portion.

A display ready case configured to be transformed from a transportation configuration to a display configuration. The display ready case including a top, bottom, left, right, front, and rear side, the top side including a tuck flap including two or more locking tabs configured to be inserted into two or more corresponding locking slots defined in the respective left and right sides, wherein an application of an external force to the tuck flap causes the two or more locking tabs to disengage from the two or more locking slots, thereby releasing the top side from the left and right sides, and where upon release of the top side from the left and right sides, the top side is removably coupled to the rear side via a perforation line, thereby enabling transformation of the display ready case to a display ready configuration.

A material storage and transport system is disclosed. The material storage and transport system can include a material storage tray forming an open-top storage volume defined by a bottom and walls extending up from the bottom along a perimeter of the bottom. The material storage and transport system can also include a releasable strap adapted to extend across the bottom when in a securing configuration and a sample carrier, including at least one sample secured to a sample support substrate by a molded sheet. A lid element and the sample carrier can be adapted (i) to fit within the storage volume when arranged parallel to the bottom, and (ii) to be secured to the material storage tray by the releasable strap.
