Disclosed is a collapsible box, comprising a base (1) and two pairs of opposite side plates. A protrusion edge (10) is provided at the periphery of the base (1). The side plates are hinged to the base and foldable relative to the base (1). Each of the side plates is smooth at both sides thereof and at least one pair of the side plates are each provided with a cavity in lower edges. When a collapsible box (100) is deployed, the lower edges of one pair of side plate are connected with the lower edges of the other pair of side plates so as to form a frame. The frame is hinged to the base (1) by means of hinges, so as to form a reinforced structure which resists the base from depressing and the protrusion edge from recessing. This solution increases the cleaning efficiency of the collapsible box, alleviates the depressing of the base when the box body is loaded, and solves the problem of the collision and damage among goods in upper and lower layers due to the depressing of the base due to multi-layer stacking of collapsible boxes. Further, the safety risk in warehouse storage caused by the failure of stacking due to side plate deformation caused by multi-layer stacking of collapsible boxes and side plates being pressed is avoided. Meanwhile the box has a smaller wall thickness and a higher folding ratio.

The invention relates to a transport container (1) having an interior (4) which is delimited by a container base (2) comprising guide receptacles and by a container cover (3) which is opposite the container base (2) and from which there project guide bodies (6) on the cover outer side (5) opposite the interior. In order to create a transport container of the type described at the outset which can be stacked reliably and quickly with other transport containers, irrespective of their dimensions, for safe transport in such a way that additional transport securing by separate aids can be dispensed with, it is proposed that the guide bodies (6) having latching recesses (7) are arranged at a distance from one another in a grid, in that, for the releasable fastening of an adjacent transport container (1), a latching device is provided which has latching hooks (8) displaceable along an engagement direction for engagement in the latching recesses (7), and in that the guide bodies (6) within the guide receptacles are limited in the engagement direction.

A blister package for a contact lens is provided that can be stacked with other blister packages of the same design. One example of the blister package has a body that includes a dome and a handle. A seal is attached to the top surface of the body and has a seal dome that seals a volume between the outer sidewall of the body dome and the inner sidewall of the seal dome. The handle has a through-hole and the through-hole that accommodates the outer sidewall of the seal dome. Another blister package provided has a handle and a bowl and the handle has a through-hole that accommodates the bowl outer surface. Stacks of blister packages are also provided as is secondary packaging for packaging stacks of tessellating blister packages.

A collapsible crate includes a base having opposed side edges and opposed end edges. The side edges are longer than the end edges. A pair of opposed side walls are pivotably connected to the side edges of the base and movable between an upright position and a collapsed position on the base. Each of the pair of opposed side walls include a handle opening therethrough. A pair of opposed end walls are pivotably connected to the end edges of the base and movable between an upright position and a collapsed position on the base.

An arrangement of Expanded Polystyrene boxes grouped into a tower on a pallet, said boxes being distributed in at least seven rows each comprising three boxes separated by a separation and ordered such that two boxes are placed in parallel side by side along the long axis of the pallet and the third is placed perpendicular to the former, said box arranged perpendicular being at one end of the tower opposite the end of the upper and/or lower row. An Expanded Polystyrene box is also disclosed.

An apparatus for storing and extracting an edible substance includes a container including an opening at a first end of the container and an aperture disposed through a surface at a second end of the container, a platform disposed within an interior portion of the container and operable to maintain the edible substance, and a stem extending from a base to the aperture of the container, wherein the stem is operable to move through the aperture of the container, wherein the platform is operable to move from a first position in the interior portion of the container to a second position within the interior portion of the container in response to movement of the stem through the aperture of the container, and wherein, when the platform moves to the second position, the edible substance is positioned for removal from the platform and from the container.

An interlocking tongue and groove vegetation planting assembly provides a self-supporting arrangement of pentagon-shaped plant containers and triangle-shaped plant containers that are alternatively stacked, and detachably fitted together with support blocks having a central tongue on one end and a pair of legs on an opposite end that fit together in a tongue-and-groove relationship through the support sleeve. Both the pentagon-shaped and triangle-shaped plant containers include a plant chamber, and an adjacent support sleeve. The plant chamber has multiple sidewalls sloped at an angle. The plant chamber also has a floor wall that forms drainage holes near the junction of the plant chamber and the support sleeve sidewalls. The pentagon-shaped plant container is half the width and length of the triangle-shaped plant container to allow sunlight to reach lower stacked triangle-shaped plant chambers. The tongue-and-groove stacking arrangement creates multiple points of contact throughout each sidewall for equal weight distribution.

Systems and devices are provided for loading a transportation unit. The system includes a pallet rack unit. The pallet rack unit is configured to receive and support loaded pallets. The pallet rack unit is configured to be loaded into the transportation unit with other pallet rack units that are substantially identical to the pallet rack unit. The pallet rack unit and the other pallet rack units, together, substantially fill a length and a width of the transportation unit. The pallet rack unit includes a base configured to receive a first loaded pallet. The pallet rack unit is further configured to be forkliftable. The pallet rack unit includes a plurality of posts coupled to the base and at least one height adjustable shelf coupled to the posts. The at least one height adjustable shelf is configured to receive and support a second loaded pallet. Additional shelves may be used to handle additional loaded pallets.

A crate is configured for blind-stacking on an adjacent crate with side walls. The crate may include a bottom panel, end walls extending from the bottom panel, and side walls extending from the bottom panel and connected between the end walls. The side walls include a stacking rim on a top surface. The bottom panel may include guide ribs under the side walls, respectively, and positioned adjacent a forward end of the crate. The guide ribs may be sized and shaped to positively engage the side walls of the adjacent crate, and the guide ribs may be configured to prevent the side walls of the adjacent crate from deflecting outward under load. The crate facilitates blind-stacking and helps to minimize the effort for an operator to handle heavier loads.
