Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for controlling scent delivery by a scented article for beverage containers such as box cartons. In some aspects, a scent delivery system includes a cap removably attachable to a carton container at an opening of the carton container, the cap being moveable between an open position that allows a fluid beverage within the carton container to flow outward and a closed position that prevents the beverage to flow outward; and a scented article that couples to the carton container or the cap and operable to generate a scent capable of stimulating an olfactory sensation of a user including during consumption of the beverage when the cap is in the open position, and when the cap is in closed position, a seal is created by the cap and a base region of the carton container to enclose the scented article and lock in the scent.

A single piece container made of cardboard, paperboard or other flexible sheet material which provides improved strength properties, but without the need to laminate layers of sheet material together by having an outer shell comprising sidewall panels (3, 5, 7, 9) and a set of inner sidewall panels (11, 13, 15, 17) connected to the outer shell at foldlines. The set of inner sidewall panels includes a first inner sidewall panel in facing relationship with the inner surface of a first outer shell sidewall panel and integrally connected to one of the outer shell sidewall panels along a foldline, and a first set of further inner sidewall panels integrally connected to the first inner sidewall panel along a foldline, the sidewall panels of the set of further inner sidewall panels being hingedly connected to one another about respective foldlines. The set of inner sidewall panels also includes a second set of further inner sidewall panels integrally connected to the first inner sidewall panel along a foldline, the sidewall panels of the second set of further inner sidewall panels being hingedly connected to one another about respective foldlines.

A single piece container (200) made from cardboard, paperboard or other lightweight foldable sheet material is provided. The container (200) includes an outer shell and an inner shell. The outer shell has first and second ends (202, 204), and includes a plurality of outer shell sidewall panels (3, 5, 7, 9) hingedly connected to one other about respective outer shell sidewall foldlines. The outer shell sidewall panels (3, 5, 7, 9) extend between the first and second ends (202, 204) of the outer shell. At least the second end of the outer shell is a closed end. The inner shell includes a plurality of inner shell sidewall panels hingedly connected to one other about respective inner shell sidewall foldlines. The inner shell is integrally connected to the outer shell along a foldline. Each one of the inner shell sidewall panels is in face-to-face contact with the inner surface of a respective one of the outer shell sidewall panels (3, 5, 7, 9).

A crush-resistant carton embedded with a metal slat includes a box body and a plurality of strapping bands, all of the strapping bands is bound outside the box body, the box body includes an enclosure plate, two cover plates and a bottom backing plate; the two cover plates are respectively positioned at two ends of the enclosure plate in a height direction; each cover plate includes a main body plate and a plurality of side plates, all of the side plates are disposed around an outer periphery of the main body plate, and a plurality of pressure-resistant slats are respectively disposed on inner and outer sides of a corner portion formed by the main body plate and the side plates adjoined to each other; the bottom backing plate is disposed on an inner sidewall of the cover plate at a lower position.

A blank for constructing a crush-tolerant container includes a first side panel, a bottom panel, a second side panel, and a top panel coupled together in series. At least one cutout and at least one bridge portion are defined along a first fold line between the top panel and the first side panel. The at least one bridge portion and the at least one cutout are configured to maintain the top panel in a plane spaced above a top edge of the first side panel when the container is formed and the top panel is not under a stacking load, and to allow the top panel to move downwardly such that at least a portion of the top panel is substantially co-planar with the top edge of the first side panel when the container is formed and the top panel is under the stacking load.

A flexible material package (100, 200) is presented comprising a reinforcing element (3) and a first sealed area (103) positioned close to the upper end of the package (100, 200) and preferably configured so as to close the package (100, 200), wherein the reinforcing element (3) is at least partially positioned within the first sealed area (103), the package (100, 200) further comprising gripping means positioned vertically below the reinforcing element (3) and configured so as to be used to support the package (100, 200). A closing method, a filling method and a formation method of the package (100, 200) are also presented.

A fastener is configured to fix a pair of opposing flaps of a box in a closed state. The fastener includes a receiving part, a pressing part opposing the receiving part, a linking part interposed between the receiving part and the pressing part, spaces on both sides of the linking part between the receiving part and the pressing part constituting insertion areas into which the flaps of the box are to be inserted, and a cutter part on the receiving part, the pressing part, or the linking part.

A flat panel cardboard packaging for protecting a flat panel (FP) comprises a base part (2), first and second side walls (6, 10) extending along parallel first and second sides of the base part (2), at least a first lid part (14, 18) adapted for covering the flat panel (FP) placed on the base part (2) between the side walls (6), and at least a first cushioning part (24). The first side wall (6) is supported at a first angle (α1), which is different from 0° to a plane perpendicular to the base part (2), to form a first side deformation zone. The first cushioning part (24) comprises 10 an outer gable portion (28) and an inner gable portion (30) which is arranged at a free inner distance (IS) from the outer gable portion (28), thereby forming an end deformation zone between the outer and inner gable portions (28, 30).
