A box making machinery and a corrugated board running register method, include a feeding unit, a processing apparatus which carries out processing on a corrugated board, a running register device which adjusts the processing position of the processing device in a carrying direction of the corrugated board, and a control device which controls the running register device, wherein the control device includes a carrying misalignment amount calculation unit which calculates the carrying misalignment amount of the corrugated board from the feeding unit to a preset predetermined carrying position, and a control unit which adjusts the processing position of the corrugated board to be processed next using the running register device on the basis of the carrying misalignment amount after processing of the corrugated board has finished.

An analysis device and an analysis method for a preparatory work time in a paper converting machine, includes an operator position detection device configured to detect a working position of an operator in the preparatory work time of a box making machine, an action diagram creation unit configured to create an action diagram of the operator based on the detection result of the operator position detection device, a work content item table creation unit configured to create a work content item table indicating a work content in the preparatory work time for each item based on operation processing data and operation data of the box making machine, and an operation process improvement item selection unit configured to select an improvement item of an operation process in the preparatory work time based on a creation result of the action diagram creation unit and the work content item table creation unit.

A system and method of at least partially forming reinforced packages. The method comprises moving a construct in a machine direction on a construct conveyor. The construct conveyor can comprise a primary lug belt with a primary lug, the construct can be disposed on the primary lug belt, and the moving the construct can comprise moving the primary lug belt in the machine direction to push the construct in the machine direction. The method further can comprise positioning a liner on the construct conveyor so that the liner at least partially extends over the construct and moving the liner in the machine direction on a secondary lug belt of the construct conveyor. The secondary lug belt can comprise a secondary lug and the moving the liner can comprise moving the secondary lug belt in the machine direction to push the liner in the machine direction.

A foldable case and method of making same are disclosed. The foldable case is collapsible between a closed position and an open position without needing to re-fold the sheet of material. The foldable case is made of a sheet of material. The sheet of material has a central portion, opposing first and second portions, and opposing third and fourth portions. First and second portions adjoin a length of respective top and bottom edges of the central portion. Third and fourth portions adjoin a length of respective left and right edges of central portion. A number of folding lines are provided on the sheet of material. The foldable case can be made by folding along the folding lines and adhering first and second portions to the third and fourth portions so as to form a case in the folded configuration.

A sealed container for the storage of a plurality of articles comprising an open topped receptacle having a lip that defines an opening through which the articles may pass into and from said receptacle and closure means, including a cover that is hingedly connected to the receptacle and which is sealably connected to the receptacle, for closing the opening. The receptacle also includes a flap that is hingedly connected to the cover and wherein the flap in one position is adapted to overly the cover and wherein information relating to the contents of the container is displayed on the cover and on the flap.

A package system is provided. The package system comprises a carton having at least a first carton panel including a first tab having a first tab edge defined by internal walls of the first panel, a second carton panel opposing the first panel, and a third carton panel between the first carton panel and the second carton panel, the carton having a carton length that is defined as a first distance parallel to the third carton panel between the first carton panel and the second carton panel; and a drawer configured to slide into and out of an interior of the carton, the drawer having at least a first drawer panel opposing the first carton panel, a second drawer panel opposing the second carton panel, and a third drawer panel opposing the third carton panel, the third drawer panel adjoined between the first drawer panel and the second drawer panel.

It is generally a goal to reduce the height dimension of a case-making device. A case-making device 90 comprises a box-sheet-holding part 10 and an extraction part 20. The box-sheet-holding part 10 holds a plurality of box sheets S to be processed into container boxes B such that the box sheets S extend in an upright direction UR. The extraction part 20 extracts one box sheet S from the box-sheet-holding part 10. An upright-direction UR dimension of the box sheet S is a first dimension H1. The extraction part 20 moves the box sheet S in the upright direction UR by a second dimension H2 shorter than the first dimension H1.

Disclosed is a carton with an integrated partition formed from a single blank and that can be erected from a folded and glued configuration in a single step. The unerected carton is configured so it snaps automatically into an erected carton with integrated partition when a user simply applies slight pressure to the corners of the unerected carton. The erected carton with integrated partition can then be easily collapsed into the unerected configuration by simply squeezing opposing sides of the erected partition about the corners. Since the carton with integrated partition is configured to move easily and automatically between the unerected and erected positions, the carton with integrated partition is suitable for repeated use.
