A line and method for the production of covered cardboard boxes are disclosed. The line includes a conveyor unit including a belt and a conveyor actuator that drives the belt intermittently in an alternating sequence of movements and stops. A feed unit individually feeds covering blanks from a reservoir to the conveyor unit in a sequence of feed instants. An erecting machine folds box blanks into corresponding boxes. A positioner individually positions the boxes from the erecting machine, in alignment on corresponding covering blanks disposed on the belt of the conveyor unit. A gluer spreads glue on one face of the covering blanks. A covering machine folds the covering blanks into contact with their respective boxes to cover the boxes. A control unit connected to the feed unit adjustably sets a phase displacement of the feed instants relative to the sequence of stops of the belt.

A container for liquids has a top, a bottom and a mid-section. A plurality of side panels forming the mid-section, and a plurality of top panels enclose the top of the container. One of the top panels has an openable seal for removing liquid from the container when the seal is broken. A plurality of bottom flaps are provided for closing the bottom of the container, and a baffle is secured inside of the container. The baffle has at least one opening for mixing liquid contained in the container when the container is closed and shaken.

A coated paperboard including a single-ply paperboard substrate having a first major side and a second major side, and having an internal sizing agent incorporated therein, and a barrier coating on the first major side of the single-ply paperboard substrate, the barrier coating having an elastic modulus of at least 1.5 GPa.

The present invention refers to a container precursor, comprising a composite sheet which comprises a) an outer polymer layer, b) a colour application, c) a carrier layer, and d) a barrier layer;
wherein a wall of the container precursor comprises a first wall region and a second wall region. The invention further refers to a closed container, obtainable from the container precursor; and to a closed container having the above composite sheet, the first and the second wall region.

A blank for producing a three-dimensional structure, from paper, cardboard, or plastic, includes at least three lateral surfaces and at least one bottom and/or top tab for forming the three-dimensional structure in a folded state of the blank. At least two of the lateral surfaces and/or at least one of the lateral surfaces having the bottom and/or cover tab being connected to one another by means of at least one mechanically produced creasing line. The creasing line is produced without ablation or other removal of material from the blank, at least one groove being produced by means of a laser within at least one of the lateral surfaces connected by means of the creasing line. The groove being configured to run at an angle to the creasing line and impinging on or intersecting the creasing line. A three-dimensional structure and a folding box produced from the blank are also disclosed.

A portable and disposable litter box includes a bottom tray, a top tray, and an insert. The insert includes insert sidewalls that are attached to the bottom tray. The litter box is configurable in open and closed states. In the closed state, the top tray is disposed on the bottom tray and a litter box cavity is defined between the bottom and top trays, and the insert sidewalls are pivoted inwardly such that the insert sidewalls are disposed in the litter box cavity. In the opened state, the top tray is pivoted away from the bottom tray, and the insert sidewalls are pivoted outwardly such that the insert sidewalls extend from the bottom tray to the top tray.

A blank for producing a three-dimensional structure, from paper, cardboard, or plastic, includes at least three lateral surfaces and at least one bottom and/or top tab for forming the three-dimensional structure in a folded state of the blank. At least two of the lateral surfaces and/or at least one of the lateral surfaces having the bottom and/or cover tab being connected to one another by means of at least one mechanically produced groove line. The groove line is produced without ablation or other removal of material from the blank, at least one groove being produced by means of a laser within at least one of the lateral surfaces connected by means of the groove line. The groove being configured to run at an angle to the groove line and impinging on or intersecting the groove line. A three-dimensional structure and a folding box produced from the blank are also disclosed.

In a method for manufacturing a fibrous paper-plastic disc-shaped product, a pulp sheet is prepared, sent to a cutting machine, and cut into a primitive sheet. The primitive sheet is formed by at least one primitive material for manufacturing a desired fibrous product and has a surface coated with a solution containing an additive. The primitive sheet is set still to achieve an osmotic balance inside the primitive sheet, and passed through a hot-press machine for hot pressing to press and dry the primitive sheet into a dry molded plate. Each primitive material of the original primitive sheet is pressed into a shape of the desired fibrous product to form a dry molded product. Finally, the dry molded plate is sent to a trimming machine for trimming and cutting, so that each dry molded product on the dry molded plate is formed into the fibrous product.

A portable and disposable litter box includes a bottom tray, a top tray, and an insert. The insert includes insert sidewalls that are attached to the bottom tray. The litter box is configurable in open and closed states. In the closed state, the top tray is disposed on the bottom tray and a litter box cavity is defined between the bottom and top trays, and the insert sidewalls are pivoted inwardly such that the insert sidewalls are disposed in the litter box cavity. In the opened state, the top tray is pivoted away from the bottom tray, and the insert sidewalls are pivoted outwardly such that the insert sidewalls extend from the bottom tray to the top tray.

The present invention refers to a container precursor, comprising a sheetlike composite; wherein the sheetlike composite comprises as a layer sequence in a direction from an outer surface of the sheetlike composite to an inner surface of the sheetlike composite a) an outer polymer layer, b) a colour application, c) a carrier layer, and d) a barrier layer; wherein the sheetlike composite forms a wall of the container precursor; wherein the wall a. at least partly surrounds an interior of the container precursor, and b. comprises a first wall region and a second wall region; wherein the first wall region partly comprises as a layer sequence from the interior outwards a first ply, a second ply, and a third ply, in each case of the sheetlike composite; wherein in the first wall region the first ply is bonded to the second ply and the second ply is bonded to the third ply; wherein the second wall region partly comprises as a layer sequence from the interior outwards the first ply, the second ply, and the third ply, in each case of the sheetlike composite; wherein in the second wall region the second ply is bonded to the third ply; wherein at least the carrier layer and the barrier layer extend into the first ply, the second ply, and the third ply; wherein in the first wall region: in the second ply a layer thickness of the carrier layer is less than in the first ply, or in the third ply, or in both; wherein in the second wall region: in the third ply a layer thickness of the carrier layer is more than in the first ply, or in the second ply, or in both. The invention further refers to a closed container, obtainable from the container precursor; and to a closed container having the above sheetlike composite, the first and the second wall region.
