A blank is configured to be erected into a container including an inner tray and an outer carton frangibly connected to the inner tray. The inner tray includes an inner side wall and a bottom. The outer carton includes a top, an outer side wall, and a utility panel frangibly connected to the inner side wall.

A packing method and unit (26) for producing a rigid package (1) with a hollow rib (12; 13); an end portion of a blank (21) is folded about a contrasting body (36; 39) onto a panel (11′) of the blank (21) to form the hollow rib (12; 13); a fastening tab (16; 19), which forms the end part of the end portion, is glued to the panel (11′) to stabilize the hollow rib (12; 13); and the contrasting body (36; 39) is extracted from the hollow rib (12; 13) once the end portion is folded.

A blank for constructing a crush-tolerant container includes a first side panel, a bottom panel, a second side panel, and a top panel coupled together in series. At least one cutout and at least one bridge portion are defined along a first fold line between the top panel and the first side panel. The at least one bridge portion and the at least one cutout are configured to maintain the top panel in a plane spaced above a top edge of the first side panel when the container is formed and the top panel is not under a stacking load, and to allow the top panel to move downwardly such that at least a portion of the top panel is substantially co-planar with the top edge of the first side panel when the container is formed and the top panel is under the stacking load.

A woven laminated plastic bag having an easy open feature is provided. The easy open feature is generally defined by a weakened portion in the bag. In various aspects the bag can be fabricated from a woven polyethylene layer which can be laminated with a polyethylene film layer, can form a pinch bottom bag, and can have one or both sides include graphics and/or printing. The bag can also provide a top end and/or a bottom end either or both of which provide a discrete area which may contain discrete graphics and/or printing.

A blank of sheet material for forming a polygonal container, the blank including, a bottom panel, two opposing end panels, each end panel extending from an end edge of the bottom panel, two opposing outer side panels, each outer side panel extending from a side edge of the bottom panel, and an inner side panel extending from each top edge of one outer side panel of the two outer side panels and an outer side panel extending from each top edge of the one of the inner side panels, wherein each inner side panel includes a central portion, a corner portion extending from each side of the central portion, and an inner end portion extending from a side of each of the corner portions.

A blank of sheet material for forming a polygonal container, the blank including, a bottom panel, two opposing end panels, each end panel extending from an end edge of the bottom panel, two opposing outer side panels, each outer side panel extending from a side edge of the bottom panel, and an inner side panel extending from each top edge of one outer side panel of the two outer side panels and an outer side panel extending from each top edge of the one of the inner side panels, wherein each inner side panel includes a central portion, a corner portion extending from each side of the central portion, and an inner end portion extending from a side of each of the corner portions.

Packaging containers suitable for the transport, storage and retail display of individually packaged products are provided. The packaging container comprises a base having or being provided with an upper surface sloped from a back end to a front end thereof. The upper surface of the base is provided with one or more discrete areas of a slippery material. Packaging units are also provided comprising the packaging container and a plurality of individually packaged products. The containers and units are readily and easily manufactured and so methods for manufacturing both the container and packaging unit are also provided.

The invention relates to a container. In particular the invention relates to a container for receiving a food product which container is formed from a folded blank. The body of the container is formed from panels of the container blank and at least one flange section is provided at an edge of an opening of the container body. The flange section comprises two overlapping flange panels of the container blank, which are bonded together to maintain the shape of the container body.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a covering structure for a cardboard package comprising a tubular body made up a cardboard material. The covering structure comprises a flat assembly of three materials: (1) a cellulosic material covered with a reactivatable barrier material over the face thereof oriented towards a safety membrane, making up a lid cardboard, (2) a laminating part arranged between said lid cardboard and the safety membrane, with a shape conjugated to the shape of the opening of the tubular body, made from paper, or paper whereof the face oriented towards said lid cardboard is coated with a material having barrier and sealing properties, and (3) a safety membrane, made up of a paper coated with at least one reactivatable barrier material on the surface thereof not oriented towards the laminating part.
