The present invention provides an improved product holding and dispensing package and an improved method for manufacturing, holding, and storing products, especially comestible products. In an embodiment, a package for comestible products may be provided. The package includes a package blank having walls that define a package interior. The package also includes a sheet disposed inside the package interior. The sheet wraps around a stack of comestible products and maintains the products in a stacked formation. The sheet also retains the comestible products against lateral movement within the sheet. In an embodiment, the plurality of comestible products are releasably attached to the sheet to prevent the comestible products from sliding out of the sheet. In an embodiment, the sheet may be attached to the package interior.

A packaging unit (301) for hygiene articles that is formed from a sheet of material having an inner surface (302) comprises an edge zone (304) comprising an inner edge portion (305, 308) and an outer edge portion (306, 307). At least one of the outer and inner edge portions comprises at least one region provided with a resealable adhesive (12). The sheet has at least one folding axis (309, 309) dividing said sheet into a first and second regions region. The sheet is folded about said at least one folding axis with said first and second regions in an overlapping configuration, thereby providing a packaging unit. Overlapping outer edge portions of the sheet layers are at least partly adhesive-free and are at least partially connected to each other by a mechanical interaction providing a sealing strength of 0.2 to 1.5 N. A method for forming the packaging unit is provided.

A carrier tape for transporting a plurality of components includes a flexible substrate extending along a longitudinal axis of the carrier tape, a plurality of pockets formed in the substrate and spaced apart along the longitudinal axis of the carrier tape, and an adhesive layer. Each pocket includes a bottom wall and a side wall extending from the bottom wall to a top surface of the flexible substrate. The adhesive layer is disposed on the bottom wall of each pocket in the plurality of pockets, such that when a component is placed in a pocket in the plurality of pockets, the adhesive layer in the pocket permanently bonds to the component, and such that when the adhesive is exposed to UV radiation the adhesive bond strength is sufficiently reduced so that the component can be removed from the pocket.

A collection of stackable articles is disclosed. Each stackable article of the collection of stackable articles has a bottom, at least one sidewall, and a top. The collection of stackable articles comprises a supporting medium, a first slip sheet disposed upon a surface of the supporting medium, and a first plurality of the stackable articles arranged in a first layer upon the first slip sheet.

A packaging unit for hygiene articles, the unit being formed from a sheet of material having a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction. The sheet has an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface includes an edge portion being provided with a resealable adhesive for closure of the packaging unit. Furthermore, the sheet has at least one transversely extending folding axis dividing said sheet into a first region and a second region. The sheet is provided with at least one sync mark for indication of a positioning of the sheet of material during manufacturing of the packaging unit, the sync mark being provided on the outer surface. A blank and a method for forming the packaging unit are also provided.

The present invention provides an improved product holding and dispensing package and an improved method for manufacturing, holding, and storing products, especially comestible products. In an embodiment, a package for comestible products may be provided. The package includes a package blank having walls that define a package interior. The package also includes a sheet disposed inside the package interior. The sheet wraps around a stack of comestible products and maintains the products in a stacked formation. The sheet also retains the comestible products against lateral movement within the sheet. In an embodiment, the plurality of comestible products are releasably attached to the sheet to prevent the comestible products from sliding out of the sheet. In an embodiment, the sheet may be attached to the package interior.

A collection of articles is disclosed. Each article can be generally provided as a parallelepiped container having a bottom, sidewalls, and a top. The collection of articles comprises a supporting medium, a first slip sheet disposed upon a surface of the supporting medium, and a first plurality of the parallelepiped containers arranged in a first layer upon the first slip sheet. Each parallelepiped container of the first plurality of parallelepiped containers is disposed adjacent each other to define a first space therebetween. A first portion of the first sidewall of the first parallelepiped container disposed within the first space is bonded to a first portion of the first sidewall of the second parallelepiped container disposed within the first space when the first parallelepiped container and the second parallelepiped container are placed into contacting engagement.

The present invention relates to a packaging of containers comprising a plurality of containers and packaging material, wherein the packaging material is free of plastic and wherein the packaging material comprises a bottom piece made of cardboard or paperboard, wherein the bottom piece is a bottom sheet or a bottom tray, and at least one first paper tape comprising an adhesive. In one embodiment, the packaging of containers further comprises a top cover made of cardboard or paperboard, wherein the top cover is a top tray or a top lid, and wherein the at least one first paper tape connects the bottom piece with the top cover. In another embodiment, the first paper tape extends vertically around the packaging of containers from one side edge of the bottom piece to an opposing side edge of the bottom piece and is formed into a handle on top of the packaging of containers.
