Provided is a packaging cooler box for delivery, comprising a bottom portion to form a lower surface upon conversion into a box mode, a plurality of sidewall portions configured to connect with the bottom portion, a lid portion configured to connect with one of the sidewall portions, and to face said bottom portion upon conversion into the box mode, a crease portion formed along the edge of the bottom portion so that the sidewall portions can stand upright, joint portions configured to join said sidewall portions, to be folded to face itself and to be in close contact with the sidewall portions, upon conversion into the box mode, and easy adhesive portions provided in said joint portions and sidewall portions to maintain the box shape upon conversion into the box mode from a single plane consisting of said bottom portion, sidewall portions, said lid portion and joint portions.

A leak proof container and a method of forming the container from a blank. The blank includes a bottom panel, first and second side panels connected to the bottom panel at opposing lateral edges, and first and second end portions located at opposing longitudinal ends of the blank. Each end portion includes an inner end panel connected to the bottom panel, an outer end panel connected to the inner end panel, and first and second corner panels, each corner panel having an edge connected to a respective one of the first and second side panels and having an edge connected to the inner end panel. First and second locking tabs are defined in the outer end panel, each locking tab being defined by a lateral separation line located longitudinally inward from an outer longitudinal edge of the outer end panel and extending laterally to define a free tab end.

The present disclosure includes foldable forms that are foldable between a first planar state and a second non-planar state. The form can include at least two sectors, each comprising first and second sub-sectors that each comprise a set of cuts. The set of cuts can include first through fourth cuts, where a portion of the form between the first cut, second cut, third cut, a theoretical line connecting the second and third cuts, and the edge forms a flap. The form can be folded, with the flaps received through the fourth cuts to make a container. The container can be usable as a planter.

A cardboard blank for folding a box has a length and a width, wherein in the length direction five adjacent sections of panels are present, each panel of the first, third and fifth section having a length (H.sub.B) corresponding to the height of the box to be folded, and each panel of the second and forth section having a length (L.sub.B) corresponding to the length of the box to be folded, in the width direction (W) three adjacent rows of panels are present, each panel of the second row having a width (W.sub.B) corresponding to the width of the box to be folded, and each panel of the first and the third row having a width (H.sub.B) corresponding to the height of the box to be folded, between adjacent panels in the length direction (L) crease lines are provided, between panels of the second, the third and the forth section which are adjacent to each other in the width direction (W), crease lines are provided, adjacent panels of the first section are separated from each other by incisions, in the fifth section only a panel in the second row is present, between the panels of the second and the forth section in the first and the third row, a respective joint panel is provided, each of which being divided in triangular sections by crease lines between diagonally opposing corners of the each joint panel, the outer triangle being cut away.

A smoking device comprised of a rectangular middle panel comprising a central rectangular subpanel hingably joined to a lower rectangular subpanel, and hingably joined to an upper rectangular subpanel; a left panel hingably joined to a left edge of the rectangular middle panel and comprising a plurality of left panel facets hingably joined to each other; and a right panel hingably joined to a right edge of the rectangular middle panel and comprising a plurality of right panel facets hingably joined to each other. The lower rectangular subpanel and upper rectangular subpanel are pivotable with respect to the central subpanel to an opposed position forming an enclosed cavity. The left panel facets and right panel facets are pivotable so as to collapse and be contained within the enclosed cavity. Alternative embodiments with additional multifunctional capabilities are also described.

A leak proof container and a method of forming the container from a blank. The blank includes a bottom panel, first and second side panels connected to the bottom panel at opposing lateral edges, and first and second end portions located at opposing longitudinal ends of the blank. Each end portion includes an inner end panel connected to the bottom panel, an outer end panel connected to the inner end panel, and first and second corner panels forming gussets connected to a respective one of the first and second side panels and connected to the inner end panel. An adhesive area is located on one side of the blank and comprises at least a portion on each of the outer end panel and the inner end panel. The adhesive area adheres the gussets to the inner end panel and to the outer end panel.

The invention relates to a folded bag and a method for forming a bag from a square or rectangular shaped sheet, which method comprises the steps of dividing the sheet into nine fields arranged such that eight fields surround a central field; folding the sheet along folding-lines between and across the fields in such a way that the central field forms the bottom of the bag and the eight surrounding fields form the sides of the bag and at least one inner wall providing separated compartments in the bag.
