A packaging container (100) configurable between at least a loading configuration and a flattened configuration, the packaging container including a front wall major panel (110) and a rear wall major panel (130) connected to the front wall major panel, wherein the front wall major panel and the rear wall major panel define four side walls (122, 124, 142, 144) when the packaging container is in the loading configuration, and wherein the front wall major panel and the rear wall major panel define two side walls when the packaging container is in the flattened configuration.

A tamper-evident container (1) including: a store (2) for housing at least one product, a closure system (7) placed at a passage opening (5) of the store (2) and configured for obstructing said passage opening to define a closed condition of the container (1). The store (2) has at least one glued portion at which a layer (40) made of heat-sensitive material is arranged, configured for irreversibly varying, following a heating of said layer (40), an optical and/or physical property of the same layer to provide evidence of an attempted tampering of the container (1).

A method of transforming a meal box into a tray. Many fast-food companies sell children's meals in decorative boxes. These boxes can have games or entertainment printed on the inside and outside of the box. The first step of the method is removing the contents. The next step is cutting, tearing, or otherwise opening the box along a seam between sidewalls of the box, such as along the glue line preexisting on the box.

Unitary blank for forming a container having a body portion with a plurality of fold lines and a cover portion. The body portion with a plurality of fold lines define a plurality of body wall portions, and each body wall portion has an upper edge. A first body wall portion includes a closure tab extending from the upper edge of the first body wall portion. The closure tab includes a closure tab flap portion and a closure tab base portion. The cover portion extends from the upper edge of a second body wall portion. The cover portion includes a cover portion flap score line extending along an upper edge of the cover portion and a release flap. A food container having a body portion and a cover portion is also provided.

A tray comprises a foldable sheet including: a bottom having a first sector with a folding line that defines a first joining zone, and a second sector joined to the first sector in the first joining zone; end walls each having an interior surface; support surfaces each extending from an end wall, where the support surfaces are oriented to support the weight of another stacked tray; first flaps each extending from a support surface, where each of the first flaps is folded towards an interior of the tray and having a surface facing and separated from the interior surface of an end wall; side walls; and a second flap extending from a side wall. The second flap is placeable a first position on a side wall for reinforcement and in a second position substantially perpendicular to the side walls to serve as a lid.

A method of sealing reinforced packages. The method can comprise moving an open-ended package in a downstream direction on a package conveyor by engaging the open-ended package with a chain flight of the package conveyor moving in the downstream direction. The method further can comprise forming a bag with a closed end by engaging at least a seal portion of a tail section of an open-ended tube portion of the open-ended package between the chain flight of the package conveyor and a hot plate positioned adjacent the package conveyor. The chain flight can move with the tail section in the downstream direction relative to the hot plate, which can transfer thermal energy to the tail section to at least partially form a seal along the seal portion in the tail section to at least partially form the closed end of the bag.

The present invention relates to a box of one or more absorbent articles, the box comprising pairs of opposed side walls, pairs of opposed top flaps foldably connected to corresponding side walls, pairs of opposed bottom flaps foldably connected to corresponding side walls, and a weakened area defined by an external weakened line at one of first opposed side walls. The weakened area comprises a first section and a second section divided by an internal weakened line, and an adhesive tape having a tape width and a tape end, and covering adjacent edges of the second opposed top flaps to seal top of the box. The adhesive tape extends along a portion of the one of first opposed side walls in such a way that the adhesive tape covers part of the second section so as not to cover the internal weakened line.

A waste container comprises a foldable sheet provided with a plurality of folding lines, which, when folded to define the waste container, comprises: a bottom; side walls, including a first side wall and a second side wall; a lid; and a first holding element to hold a bag. The waste container defines an inlet mouth arranged on the first side wall for introduction of waste into the waste container.

Fastener-free packaging includes a plurality of main panels, each main panel comprising an upper panel, a central panel, and a lower panel; at least one attaching connection feature located on at least one lower panel; and at least one receiving connection feature located on at least one lower panel, wherein each lower panel is connected to at least two other lower panels by an attaching connection feature connecting to a receiving connection feature such that all lower panels are connected together thereby forming a bottom.
