A packaging box is formed of corrugated cardboard, wherein end portions of the packaging box are protruded relative to a middle portion of the packaging box so that the packaging box has a curved shape, and a corrugation direction of the corrugated cardboard is parallel to a longitudinal direction of the packaging box.

A container for articles, including: an upper end and a lower end; a first lateral wall and a second lateral wall; a bottom, including a first bottom wall and a second bottom wall. The container includes means for blocking the bottom, including a first abutment flap fixed to the inner surface of the first lateral wall and including a lower abutment edge; and a second abutment flap including an upper abutment edge and connected to the second bottom wall. The second abutment flap is folded against the inner surface of the first lateral wall for abutting, with the relative upper abutment edge, the lower abutment edge of the first abutment flap.

Unitary blank for forming a container includes a base panel, a back body panel, a front body panel, a first side panel, a second side panel, and a pocket portion. The pocket portion includes a support panel, a pocket flap, a first side tab, and a second side tab. The first and second side panels are configured to be joined to the back body panel such that the front and back body panels and the first and second side panels define a container. A support panel of the pocket portion is configured to be separated from the front body panel along a front upper edge and joined to the back body panel such that the pocket portion and the back body panel define a pocket therebetween. A container and a method for forming a container from a unitary blank are also provided.

A foodstuff packaging assembly for transporting a sandwich, said sandwich having, a top, a bottom and a circumferential outside edge, said packaging assembly comprising a substantially cylindrical transit guard having a top end edge at one end of the cylinder and a bottom end edge at the other end of the cylinder and a side wall having an internal side wall surface and an external side wall surface, the internal side wall surface of the transit guard being so sized, shaped and configured as to substantially correspond to the circumferential outside edge of the sandwich in order to restrain the sandwich and its contents during transit. Optionally the food packaging assembly further comprises a packaging box adapted to accommodate a cylindrical transit guard, said packaging box comprising a bottom portion having a lowermost-in-use internal bottom surface, a top portion having an upper-most-in-use internal top surface, and at least one side wall having an internal side surface, the top portion and the bottom portion being adapted such that the packaging box can adopt an open configuration or a closed configuration.

Provided is a cup comprising a frusto-conical shaped wall that is narrower on top of the cup, the top of the cup having an opening for passage of liquid, the cup having a circular bottom made from a material that is different than material of the wall of the cup, the wall of the cup having at least two fold lines; wherein the cup has a stowed configuration where the cup is collapsed along the fold lines and the cup has a deployed configuration so that the cup can hold a liquid.

A sleeve operable to at least partially contain two cylindrical articles in side-by-side or back-to-back relation, the sleeve including first and second openings or a single opening in a bottom thereof and the first and second cylindrical articles contained within the sleeve such that portions of the first and second cylindrical articles are exposed outside the sleeve.

A carton sleeve of a composite material for producing a carton is illustrated and described, including: a sleeve area, a longitudinal seam that joins two edges of the composite material to form an all-round carton sleeve, and two pseudo fold lines that pass through the sleeve area, wherein the carton sleeve is folded along both pseudo fold lines. In order to allow the production of cartons with a more complex geometry, it is envisaged that the carton sleeve in the region of the sleeve area has no further or no continuous fold lines apart from the two pseudo fold lines. In addition a carton of such a carton sleeve as well as a method for producing a carton from such a carton sleeve are illustrated and described.

A carton for holding at least one article includes a dispenser that includes a dispenser feature and at least two first panels extending at least partially around an interior of the dispenser. The carton also includes a sleeve including at least two second panels extending at least partially around an interior of the sleeve. The interior of the sleeve at least partially receives the dispenser, and the dispenser is in slidable engagement with the sleeve and is moveable between a first position in which the dispenser feature is inaccessible and a second position in which the dispenser feature is accessible.

A container for holding at least one article includes a body extending at least partially around an interior of the container includes a reclosable lid engaged with the body, the reclosable lid repositionable between an open position, in which the reclosable lid is moved away from the interior of the container, and a closed position, in which the reclosable lid at least partially overlies the interior of the container, a closed bottom engaged with the body, and a barrier member positioned in the interior of the container, the barrier member includes a central portion at least partially separably connected to a marginal portion, the marginal portion attached to the body.

A sheet packaging material for producing a sealed package with a pourable food product; the packaging material has a quadrangular configuration with two boundary edges parallel to a longitudinal direction and two other boundary edges parallel to a transversal direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction; the packaging material comprises two transversal crease lines extending transversally to the longitudinal direction and dividing the packaging material into: a bottom region containing a bottom crease pattern and configured to form a bottom portion of the package; a top region containing a top crease pattern and configured to form a top portion of the package; and an intermediate region contained between the transversal crease lines and designed to form a main portion of the package having a plurality of side wall portions; the intermediate region further comprises a plurality of V-shaped crease lines having respective vertices located on or adjacent to the transversal crease lines and at given points thereof destined to define the opposite ends of respective lateral edges delimiting the side wall portions of the package; each V-shaped crease line extending in proximity of the respective transversal crease lines.
