An apparatus forms boxes with curved corners from a die-cut sheet. A forming matrix delimits a forming cavity by guides counterposed in pairs along two orthogonal axes. The guides define a die-cut sheet support plane. A forming head inserts inside the cavity to push the die-cut sheet to form a box. Vacuum gripping devices are arranged outside the cavity in opposite positions along the second axis and each grip from underneath the die-cut sheet to hold it on the support. Pusher devices are arranged outside and near one of the corners of the cavity. Each pusher device raises one side flap of the die-cut sheet from the support plane. An electronic control unit operates the main gripping devices, pusher devices and forming head according to the following sequence: actuating the gripping devices; actuating the pushers; deactivating the gripping devices; and inserting the forming head in the forming cavity.

A repulpable leak resistant poultry box having a composite corrugated structure with a fluted medium formed with a top backing board secured to one side of the fluted medium and a bottom backing board secured to the other side of the fluted medium, all of which are impregnated with a hydrogenated triglyceride and the backing boards are coated with an acrylic styrene copolymer. In one embodiment, the box has a bottom panel and end panels integral to bottom panel positioned at opposite ends of the bottom panel and separated by a fold line from the bottom panel. The side panels assemblies are integral with the bottom panel with each side panel being separated by a fold line and have a plurality of reinforcing end panels extending from opposite ends of the side panel and integral foldable cover members connected to the side panels by a fold line. The reinforcing end panels are connected to an adjacent end panel integral with the bottom panel by a corner tab formed by an angled cut adjacent each bottom corner of the end panel. A plurality of insert members are secured to opposing side panels, an end panel and the reinforcing end panels in the interior of the corrugated box.

Another box embodiment has a bottom panel, side panels assemblies integral with the bottom panel and end panels integral with the bottom panel. The side panel assemblies comprise a side panel and a plurality of reinforcing end panels positioned adjacent each side panel. Each of the reinforcing panels in the side panel assembly defines a U-shaped cut out which is aligned with a cut out in the end panel to present a single uniformly configured cut out. The end panels define a tab in each bottom corner connected to a reinforcing end panel to seal a bottom corner of the box.

A package for a gravity feed rack display system that is shipped with product includes a plurality of panels connected together at fold lines configured for extending at least partially around an interior space. The plurality of panels includes a front panel, a back panel, a first side panel, a top panel, a second side panel and a bottom panel. The interior space is configured to receive at least one product. The package includes a first extension flap foldably connected to a first side of the front panel and a second extension flap foldably connected to a second side of the front panel. The plurality of panels and the first and second extension flaps define a first depth in a first position for shipping, and a second depth in a second position for display.

A carrier for holding one or more articles. The carrier can comprise a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carrier and a bottom wall extending along the interior of the carrier. The bottom wall can comprise a first locking member and a second locking member, wherein the first locking member and the second locking member engage one another to form the bottom wall. The first locking member can comprise a first bottom panel and a first bottom flap in an at least partially overlapping relationship, and the second locking member can comprise a second bottom panel and a second bottom flap in an at least partially overlapping relationship. The carrier further can comprise a central wall foldably connected to one or more panels of the plurality of panels.

A container includes a plurality of panels connected together at fold lines configured for extending at least partially around an interior space. The panels include a front panel, a first side panel, a back panel and a second side panel. The back panel includes a first back portion and a second back portion. At least one of the first back portion or the second back portion is free from openings. A shelf panel is foldably connected to the front panel. The first back portion is adhered to the shelf panel.

A firearm target is formed from a cardboard substrate. A first target is printed on the cardboard substrate. The cardboard substrate is folded into a box shape. The cardboard substrate is cut to form a first flap and a second flap on a first side of the cardboard substrate. The first flap and second flap include notches. The first flap and second flap are folded over with the notches interlocked. The flaps can be oriented to the bottom of the box shape and weighted for stability. A second target can be mounted to the box shape over the first target.

A system and a method for a cup for retaining a liquid. The cup includes a base and a wall. The base and the wall define a container with a space to retain the liquid. A first closure flap and a second closure flap are attached to the wall and extend from the wall. The first closure flap and the second closure flap are foldable relative to the wall. The first closure flap and the second closure flap are foldable between an open position and a closed position. The first closure flap and the second closure flap define a lid when in the closed position. The lid is defined by the first closure flap being folded at least twice to a closed position and the second closure flap being folded at least once to a closed position.
