The present invention relates to a composite container comprising a bottom film layer and a top film layer at least partially adhered to the bottom film layer. The top film layer is scored to form at least one resealable flap and at least one pull tab which is not adhered to the bottom film layer. The bottom film layer comprises at least one cavity opening. A cardboard layer is adhered on its lower surface to the upper surface of the top film layer, wherein the cardboard layer has at least one cavity opening which is substantially aligned with the scoring of the top film layer resealable flap and the cardboard layer is perforated to define a perimeter of at least one pull tab which is substantially aligned with and adhered, on its underside, to the upper surface of the top film layer pull tab.

A box is made by folding a sheet of material. Preferably, the box is formed by applying adhesive and folding using a machine, and a waterproof or water resistant coating is applied so that the box is configured for use as a cooler. The box includes (a) a storage portion, including a bottom panel, a first end panel, a second end panel, a first side panel, and a second side panel; (b) four corner panels; (c) a top panel including tabs; and (d) a latching panel attached to the first side panel and pivotable relative thereto about a fold line, the latching panel including first and second subpanels. The latching panel includes cuts extending between and dividing the first and second subpanels through which the tabs respectively extend when the cooler is in a closed position.

A one-piece blank for a cuboid folding box includes five main panel segments arranged in a row and separated from one another on transverse sides via main fold lines, a second secondary panel segment adjoining a second main panel segment on a longitudinal side, including an edge, and adjoining the second main panel segment via a second secondary fold line, and a third secondary panel segment adjoining a third main panel segment on a longitudinal side via a third secondary fold line. The secondary fold lines are perpendicular to the main fold lines, a first perforation line extends over the third main panel segment and at least partially over the third secondary panel segments. The third secondary panel segments are each divided by the first perforation line into a first region adjacent to the second secondary panel segment and a second region adjacent to the fourth secondary panel segment. Shapes of the second secondary panel segments and a course of the first perforation line are such that, in a folded state, the second secondary panel segments overhang the first perforation line in a region of the third secondary panel segments.

Described herein is a food holder including a multiple-panel sleeve that may include a front panel, a rear panel, two front-side panels and two back-side panels that form an irregular shape. The multiple-panel sleeve includes a bottom member connected to bottom edges of the front and rear panels. The irregular, tapered shape of the bottom member promotes the structural integrity of the food holder.

A carrier for packaging one or more articles, includes outer walls (12, 16, 18, 22a, 22b, 24a, 24b) which define an interior of the carrier. An intermediate wall (30a, 30b) at least partially segregates the interior of the carrier in a first direction. A partition structure (50a, 52a) divides the interior of the carrier in a second transverse direction. The partition structure is struck, at least in part, from one (16) of the outer walls. The partition structure is configured and arranged to be automatically erected in the interior of the carrier in response to unfolding a flat collapsed folded blank when the carrier is erected.

A method for collapsing a collapsible box can include pressing inward on a first side panel and a second side panel of the collapsible box along a lateral hinge, the collapsible box defining the lateral hinge extending at least partially across a front panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, and a rear panel of the collapsible box; and pressing a top panel and a bottom panel of the collapsible box together until the collapsible box is substantially flattened, the top panel and the bottom panel being hingedly coupled to the rear panel.

A composite package, in particular a beverage carton package for liquid foodstuffs is depicted and described which consists at least partially of a package laminate, having a package base body including package edges, an at least partially angular package base and package gable wherein the package base body defines, in an idealised manner, a package front side, package rear side and at least two lateral package sides attaching to the package rear side as well as a package laminate and a package sleeve blank for manufacturing such a composite package. In order to improve grip and ergonomy for an easy to manufacture package, provision is made for the package front side to have a positive arching at least in sections which in each case passes into a lateral package side for a grip panel to be formed at least in sections in the region of the package rear side.

A system and method for producing a board product made from paper products that have a pre-scored facing in addition to a medium (sometimes called fluting). Conventional corrugated board may feature a cross-corrugated medium and one or more facing that have no score lines that are impressed (at least prior to assembly with the corrugated medium). Such a conventional board product may be inferior because any score lines that are impressed will damage the underlying corrugated medium in some manner. A breakdown in the strength of the underlying medium leads to poor precision when the eventual board product is scored, cut, and folded. A lack of precision in folding a board product leads to gap variation and fishtailing as any articulated portion of the board product may not maintain a precise plane of articulation when folded.

A container for holding a food product. The container can comprise a flange comprising a central panel. An opening can extend in the central panel. The container further can comprise a sidewall comprising at least a panel foldably connected to the central panel and a denesting feature extending outwardly from the sidewall. The denesting feature can be for engaging a nested container positioned below the container in a stacked arrangement and for forming a denesting gap between the flange and the nested container.

A leak resistant bliss-type container comprising a first blank defining a bottom wall, opposed first side walls hingedly connected to longitudinal edges of the bottom wall and extending upwardly from the bottom wall, a vertical side flange hingedly connected to each of a pair of opposing lateral edges of the first side walls, and opposing bottom flanges hingedly connected to lateral edges of the bottom wall and extending upwardly in overlapping relation to the vertical side flanges. Second and third identical end blanks are provided, each end blank defining at least an end wall secured in overlapping relation to the vertical side flanges. A corner piece is defined by a web of material, each corner piece extending between a longitudinal edge of one of the vertical side flanges and a longitudinal edge of the bottom flange to define a leak resistant corner.
