LOCKABLE BOX AND BLANK FOR FORMING THE SAME
A lockable box includes a base portion, a lid portion movable into a closed position for closing the base portion, a latching formation formed on one of the lid and base portions and a slit formed on the other of the lid and base portions. The latching formation is receivable within the slit for locking the lid portion in a closed position. The latching formation includes one or more tabs resiliently foldable into a folded position for enabling the latching formation to be received into the slit and for moving out of the folded position for locking the latching formation within the slit once slotted therein.
AUTO-ERECTED CARTON BOTTOM AND ASSOCIATED CARTON BLANK
A carton has an automatically erected bottom that securely closes the bottom of the carton. In one embodiment, the carton blank has two major side panels and two minor side panels serially connected. The carton blank has two bottom flaps which form the bottom of the carton. Each bottom flap is connected to one of the major side panels and one of the minor side panels. The carton blank avoids the erecting and forming issues associated with prior art carton blanks which have an automatically erected bottom.

A carrier for holding a plurality of containers includes a plurality of panels forming a front portion, a back portion, and a central portion extending from the front portion to the back portion, the front portion having a front attachment panel for at least partially receiving a respective container of the plurality of containers, the back portion having a back attachment panel for at least partially receiving a respective container of the plurality of containers, the central portion having a central panel, and locking features for maintaining an erected configuration of the carrier, the locking features including at least one male locking feature extending from a respective panel of the plurality of panels and being at least partially received in a respective at least one female locking feature at least partially defined in a respective panel of the plurality of panels.
OPEN-WALLED PACK
Embodiments described herein provide for a pack made of a unitary blank that may be folded into a rectangular cuboid. The pack defines a bottom, a top that is approximately parallel to and opposite of the bottom, and four walls that are approximately perpendicular to and disposed between the top and the bottom. The four walls include a first wall, a second wall, a third wall, and a fourth wall. The first wall is opposite of the third wall and the second wall is opposite of the fourth wall. First and second openings extend from the first wall to the third wall of the cuboid in a direction parallel to a bottom plane of the cuboid and from the top to an upper edge of the second wall and fourth wall respectively in a direction normal to the bottom plane of the cuboid. The upper edge of the second and fourth walls is disposed at a height in the range of 50 percent or greater of a distance from the bottom to the top of the cuboid.
Closeable carton
A carton. The carton may include a floor panel; a plurality of side panels extending about a periphery of the floor panel, a front tab formed at an upper edge of a front side panel, upper side flaps extending from upper edges of a first end side panel and a second end side panel, and wherein each flap includes a side receiving slot; foldable corner gussets extending between adjacent side panels, wherein the floor panel, side panels, and foldable corner gussets are configurable to form a compartment region; a hingeable lid, including: a lid panel, a front edge flap, a side tab formed on each opposing side edge of the lid panel, and a front receiving slot formed in the front edge flap, wherein the lid panel is configured to cover the compartment region when in a closed position; and wherein the front tab of the front side panel is configured such that when the hingeable lid is in the closed position, the front tab aligns with the front receiving slot and is receivable therein and each side tab aligns with its respective side receiving slot and are receivable therein.
