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 round trip container includes a container body having a receiving cavity and an opening. A proximal end of a closure flap is operably coupled with the container body and the closure flap is configured to extend over the opening. A first adhesive receiving area is located on one of the closure flap and the container body and receives adhesive to adhere the closure flap to the container body when the container is placed in a closed “outbound” configuration. An adhesive portion is located on one of the closure flap and the container body. A removable covering is placed over the second adhesive portion. After the package has been received and opened, and any desired contents inserted into the receiving cavity, the covering can be removed and the second adhesive adheres the closure flap to the container body placing the container in a closed “return” configuration.

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 container can comprise a first compartment, a second compartment, and a lid flap. The container can be moved between a closed configuration and an open configuration. In the closed configuration, the first compartment and the second compartment are closed and the lid flap extends from the first compartment to the second compartment and restricts relative movement between the first compartment and the second compartment. In the open configuration, the first compartment can be separated from the second compartment and resealed with the lid flap.

A display container for shipping and displaying product includes a removable panel portion that, when removed, opens a display opening in the container. The container has outer walls reinforced by interior liner panel sections. The display container desirably includes interior corner gussets that add to the vertical crush resistance or stacking strength of the container. The display container is desirably formed from a single piece corrugated paper board blank and is designed so that it can be assembled into a container knock down state in one pass through a box forming machine.

A machine for forming a container from a blank includes a mandrel mounted to a frame. The mandrel includes a first side, an opposite second side, and an external shape complementary to an internal shape of at least a portion of the container. The machine also includes a first presser arm, a folding arm, and a second presser arm each coupled to the frame. The first presser arm is positionable generally proximate the first side of the mandrel and is configured to wrap a first portion of the blank about the mandrel. The folding arm is positionable at least generally proximate the second side of the mandrel and is configured to wrap a second portion of the blank about the mandrel. The second presser arm is disposed generally proximate the first presser arm and is configured to wrap a third portion of the blank about the mandrel.

A retail-ready container includes internal corner supports. The container is erected from a preassembly formed from a combination including a primary blank and a secondary blank. The primary blank includes a side panel, a bottom panel, and a top panel. The secondary blank is selectively adhered to the side panel of the primary substrate. Each of the side panel and the secondary blank include a plurality of sections connected by respective fold lines. Fold lines of the side panel are laterally offset from fold lines of the secondary blank so that unfolding of the preassembly yields the container with internal corner supports.

Techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a container including a plurality of panels and a plurality of flaps integrally formed in a blank. The plurality of panels includes a front panel, a top panel adjacent the front panel, a back panel adjacent the top panel, a bottom panel adjacent the back panel, and a support panel adjacent the bottom panel, wherein adjacent panels are connected with one another. The plurality of flaps are configured to cooperate with each other to enclose the container at its ends. A first line of weakness is formed in the front and top panels and defines a first severable portion of the container. A second line of weakness is formed in the support panel and defines a second severable portion of the container, the support panel being fixedly attached to the front panel such that the first and second severable portions are generally aligned.

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 pizza box for containing a baked pizza is provided. The pizza box is suitable for assuming a box-like configuration and has a base, a lid, side walls, a front wall, a rear wall, and flaps joined to the side walls, the flaps being suitable for being removably constrained by engagement in flap coupling seats on the front wall. At least one flap has a gripping portion which, when the pizza box is in a closed configuration, extends externally, allowing a pulling force to be applied to the gripping portion to disengage the at least one flap from at least one of the flap coupling seats and to bring the pizza box into a laterally open configuration. A blank for producing a pizza box in a single piece is also provided.
