A self-contained continuous PDQ package system is provided for shipment and display of products. The PDQ package includes four adjacent sections of preferably corrugated material each with an inner facing and an outer facing surface, with a cut out within the bottom flap panel. Within the cut out, there is a section where an adhesive is placed adhering the inner facing portion of body panel and the inner facing of a section of bottom of the outer panel flap and adjacent mid-section panel. The self-contained continuous PDQ package system also provides an erectable reinforced shoulder to facilitate display of products in a stack of cartons.

A carton for holding an article. The carton can comprise a plurality of panels that extends at least partially around an interior of the carton. The plurality of panels can comprise a first panel and a second panel. An insert can comprise a central panel, an inner end panel disposed generally opposite to the central panel, an inner side panel foldably connected to the central panel, and an inner flap foldably connected to the inner side panel. The central panel can extend generally parallel to the first panel, the inner side panel can extend generally parallel to the second panel, and the inner end panel can at least partially overlap the inner flap.

A shipping and display container that can be formed from one or more blanks folded and formed according to a method for creating the container such that it encloses the storage space on all sides. A portion of the blank forming the front wall can be formed from two stacked, joined layers including an interior and an exterior blank layer. An interior separation line can be formed in the interior blank layer that creates locking teeth along the line to support the removable window in the front wall during shipping and storage. A plurality of nicks extend across an exterior separation line to also structurally support and retain the removable window while enabling it to be quickly removed to display the goods.

The present invention is a package having strengthened, reinforced lines of weakness. More particularly, the package, in its fully formed configuration, provides for a self-reinforced package and strengthened, reinforced lines of weakness for stacking and transport wherein the package is resistant to fracture at its lines of weakness due to jostling of its contents against the inside of the package and at its lines of weakness.

A blank for a package configured to retain an article therein can be configured to be wrapped around the article to form a circumferential case around the article and have a longitudinal length longer than the article. The blank can be configured to define the circumferential case to include one or more inward protrusions at or near one or more ends of the circumferential case that is configured to extend into the circumferential case above and/or below the article to retain the article longitudinally.

A single piece container is provided that is made from cardboard, paperboard or other lightweight foldable sheet material. The container includes an outer shell, an inner shell and at least one spacer tab. The outer shell has a first end and a second end, and includes a plurality of side wall panels hingedly connected to one other about respective outer shell sidewall foldlines and extending between the first end and the second end of the outer shell. The second end of the outer shell is a closed end. The inner shell includes a first end, an opposite second end, and a plurality of side walls hingedly connected to one another about respective inner shell sidewall foldlines and extending between the first end and the second end of the inner shell. The inner shell is integrally connected to the outer shell along a foldline. The at least one spacer tab connects the inner shell and the outer shell, the spacer tab being released from a respective side wall panel of the inner shell. A single piece blank for said container is also provided.

The invention relates to a polygonal container comprising a tubular polygonal body (10) with an even number of flat faces (11) numbering more than four, which is formed by a strip of corrugated cardboard (19) rolled up at least two full turns and adhered to itself by means of lines of glue (30) transverse to the channels of the corrugated cardboard, forming a multilayer wall (13); a base body (20) defined by a base panel of cut and folded stiff double-faced corrugated cardboard (24) attached around an end portion of the tubular polygonal body (10). The method comprises forming the tubular polygonal body by means of rolling the strip of corrugated cardboard around a polygonal rotary drum (51) and subsequently attaching to a base body (20).

A packaging structure for at least one article includes a pair of generally rectangular support structures with front, side, rear, and interior walls. The walls divide the rectangular support structure into a plurality of triangular sections. The front and interior walls contain a least one opening configured to correspond with the configuration of the article to hold and secure the article in place. The packaging structure is created from a rectangular blank made of foldable material that has a plurality of spaced vertical fold lines, panels, and aligned openings each configured to correspond with the configuration of the article. The packaging structure is formed by folding the blank along the fold lines and securing the blank in the folded condition. The blanks are formed first within computer aided design software by determining the dimensions and profile of a packaging structure, forming openings for an article in a packaging structure, unfolding the packaging structure within the design software into a flat pattern to form a master blank, and using the master blank to create cutting dies for forming additional blanks.
