A sleeve operable to at least partially contain a cylindrical article, the sleeve including opposing planar side panels; bowed dust flaps extending upwardly from said side panels; front and back panels, each having rounded, upper corner portions; and overlapping top panels in superposing relation to upper portions of said bowed dust flaps, said overlapping top panels being mutually secured, whereby said bowed dust flaps are retained in a bowed condition that conforms with said rounded upper panel portions of said front and back panels.

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.

Blanks for forming two-compartment containers and the resulting containers are described herein. The container includes a tray and four closure flaps hingedly connected thereto. The closure flaps can be closed to enclose food or other substances therein, or opened to provide access to and removal of the tray contents. The tray is separated into two compartments by an interior partition. Generally, each compartment is liquid tight. Each compartment includes a bottom, three sidewalls, one partition wall, and four corners; each corner is adjacent to a folded gusset. Two opposing sidewalls are located on a first set of opposing sides of the bottom and a third sidewall and the partition wall are located on a second set of opposing dies of the bottom. Each folded gusset generally adheres to an adjacent sidewall. In at least one compartment, each opposing sidewall contains an extension portion that adheres to its adjacent opposing sidewall.

A box of sheet material is provided which has a bottom wall, a top wall a side wall, and a rectangular cross-section with two opposite corners cut. The side wall is constituted by six panels, namely first and second opposite panels, third and fourth opposite panels orthogonal to the first and second opposite panels, and fifth and sixth corner panels inclined in respect of the first, second, third and fourth panels. The sheet material is cardboard or corrugated board.

Examples of the present disclosure relate to a build material container for a three-dimensional printing system. The container has an external casing with an upper surface, a lower compartment to receive a build material reservoir, at least one load-bearing element, and an upper compartment below the upper surface. The upper compartment and the lower compartment are separated by a lower surface. The at least one load-bearing element is arranged below the lower surface. The upper compartment has stiffening members arranged to distribute load received from the upper surface to the at least one load-bearing element.

The invention is directed to a stackable container having a gable type top wall and a gable type bottom wall. The top wall of the container can include an upwardly extending tab that cooperates with a slot in the bottom wall of a like container to facilitate stacking of two or more containers. The container includes a front opening.

A spout includes a base frame fittable about a designated package pour opening surface area, an opening assembly moveably coupled to the base frame and adapted to at least partially cut/rupture/open/pierce the pour opening surface area, and a control device configured to control the opening assembly. The control device comprises at least one interaction element connected to the opening assembly, at least one control ring rotatably coupled to the base frame and at least one interaction member connected/coupled to the control ring and configured to interact with the interaction element. In use, upon rotating the control ring, the interaction member interacts with the interaction element to induce translation of a cutter of the opening assembly for controlling the opening assembly from a rest configuration to an operative configuration and an axial end portion of the interaction member is arranged within a rotation plane fixed relative to the base frame.

A packaging unit for portioned packaging for the production of drinks, includes a carrier having multiple strips arranged at an angle to one another and on which respective recesses are formed for introducing a respective portioned packaging. The carrier has a tubular shape and the recesses of two neighboring strips are arranged in an offset to one another in a longitudinal direction of the strips. In this way, the portioned packaging can be arranged in a protected manner and in an efficient orientation in the packaging unit.

Aspects of the invention are directed toward a carrier (90) for containing a product. The carrier comprises first, second and third connected side panels (16a/16b, 116a/116b, 216a/216b, 316a/316b; 14, 114, 214, 314; 12, 112, 212, 312) which define a three-sided tubular structure having a triangular cross-section. The carrier has a substantially triangular-shaped, crash-bottom-style, bottom wall. Parts (24b/26b, 20b/32, 22b; 124b/126b, 120b/132, 122b; 224b/226b, 220b/232, 222b; 324b/326b, 320b/332, 322b) of the bottom wall are coupled to the first, second and third side panels. The carrier has a mechanical interlocking feature (T1, T2, S1, S2); and a multi-part mechanical locking mechanism. A first top-end closure panel (16a/16b 116a/116b; 215a/215b; 315a/315b) comprises a first part (A1) of said multi-part mechanical locking mechanism. A second top-end closure panel (20a; 120a; 220a; 320a) and a first handle panel (34; 134; 234; 334) coupled thereto, comprise a second part (N2; 334) of the multi-part mechanical locking mechanism; and a third top end closure panel (22a; 122a; 222a; 322a) and a second handle panel (36; 136; 236; 336) coupled thereto, comprise a third part (N1; 336) of said multi-part mechanical locking mechanism.

The invention relates to a packaging made from cardboard, paper or similar, including a front wall and a rear wall, respectively at least one lateral wall connecting the front and rear walls and designed to form respective lateral sides of the packaging. The packaging is designed as a prismatic body along a longitudinal axis, and a base construction includes at least one base closure coupled to the front or rear wall for closing the base of the packaging. A cover construction includes at least one cover closure coupled to the front and rear walls for closing the cover of the packaging.
