A carton for holding at least one article. The carton includes a plurality of panels that extends at least partially around an interior of the carton and a plurality of end flaps respectively foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels for closing at least one closed end of the carton. The carton comprises at least one asymmetrical corner extending between a top of the carton and a bottom of the carton and that transitions between a first configuration at one of the top and the bottom of the carton and a second configuration at the other of the top and the bottom of the carton.

Blank (1) for assembling a device for packaging at least one windscreen wiper, said blank (1) being of elongate shape and comprising at least two adjacent longitudinal areas (2, 3) that can be articulated to one another via a longitudinal folding line (4), each longitudinal area (2, 3) being intended to form a longitudinal face of the packaging device, at least one of the longitudinal areas (2, 3) being further articulated at each of its longitudinal ends to an end area (21, 22; 31, 32), via a transverse folding line (5, 6; 7, 8), each end area (21, 22; 31, 32) being adapted to form a substantially transverse end face of the packaging device, said blank (1) being characterized in that it includes, at one of its longitudinal ends at least, longitudinal shock absorbing means (11) situated at the level of the longitudinal folding line (4) and spaced longitudinally and/or extending to a point spaced longitudinally from the transverse folding line or lines (5, 6; 7, 8) of the corresponding longitudinal end of the blank (1).

A pressure vessel transport system can have one or more handles that allow a pressure vessel to be efficiently and safely transported. The transport system can consist of a housing surrounding a pressure vessel with the pressure vessel having a valve. The housing may continuously extend along a longitudinal axis of the pressure vessel to position the valve within the housing.

Disclosed is a cartridge for medical and hospital waste, which comprises: a tubular body (1) provided with a base (3) and which is folded flat along the centre of the base (3) and along folding lines (12) on the tubular body, forming a flat body that can be stored easily; and a grid (2) made of sheets of card, which is disposed folded inside the tubular body (1) and which, when the cartridge is unfolded, opens to occupy the entire inside surface of the cartridge, defining cavities for receiving the medical waste. The base (3) can be formed from stiff card.

In a three-dimensional object formed by bending and deforming a sheet-like base material made of a thermoplastic resin at a ridge line, a surface of the base material bent and oriented outward at least at the ridge line is covered with a thermal expansion layer that expands when heated to a thermal deformation temperature of the thermoplastic resin or a higher temperature, and the thermal expansion layer is expanded at the ridge line.

A packet (10) for french fries comprising a bottom (11), side walls, a front- and a back-wall (12) and a closable lid (13), which packet has a total surface area and is provided with perforations (8, 8) that collectively have an open area which is set at a preselected ratio of the total surface area, wherein said perforations are provided in the lid and in the front- and back-wall. The packet is made from a one-piece plano (1) comprising a connecting member (2) that connects on opposite sides of said member to a first and a second side member (3, 4). The first and the second side member are each tapering with an increasing width with increasing distance from the connecting member, wherein said width is measured perpendicularly to a body axis (5) extending through the first and second side member and the connecting member.

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 receptacle for holding a foodstuff that is attachable to a beverage container is disclosed. The receptacle of the present disclosure allows a person to be able to hold a beverage and a foodstuff in one hand.
