A foldable container blank includes at four side walls, a top panel foldably connected to one of the side walls, a bottom panel foldably connected to one of the side walls, and at least one internal support structure that is connected to one of the side walls. Each internal support structure includes a first portion that is in adjacent relation with the top panel when the container is in a closed condition, and a second portion that is in adjacent relation with the first portion when the container is in a closed condition. In some embodiments, the foldable container blank is integrally formed. A method of forming the foldable container blank and a method of folding a container blank are also provided.

A method for the additive manufacturing of a receptacle for storing and/or transporting a product includes three-dimensionally capturing the external form of the product, compiling a computer-readable data set with information about the captured external form of the product, and additively manufacturing the receptacle. In a computer-controlled manner on the basis of the compiled data set, a modelling material is deposited in layers, liquefied and cured. The receptacle is formed having an internal structure which surrounds a receiving chamber that is adapted to the external form of the product.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide an improved edge protector having two plies wrapped around a core and a method of manufacturing the improved edge protector.

A shipping package having a flexible inner sheet having a first surface and a second surface. The package has an article reservoir for accepting an article to be shipped and one or more expansion chambers. The expansion chambers can be inflated or otherwise expanded to provide structure to the package and to protect the article in the article reservoir.

A liner to prevent damage to a portion of a fragile item, including at least its rim, includes a stretchable u-shaped ring edge member into which the rim of a fragile item may be inserted, and which frictionally engages the rim by contacting both the inner and outer surface of the fragile item adjacent the rim. The liner, in another variation, also includes a fabric covering that may be removably attached to the edge member and which stretches to cover the outer surface of the fragile item along with the rim. The liner or portions thereof comprise a dishwasher safe material which may have a mesh structure, so the liner can be left on during washing.

A bundle of tubular and/or rod-shaped glass articles is provided that includes a longest dimension, a plurality of layers (N.sub.L) of the glass articles, and a thread-like element. The longest dimension extends in a first direction. The glass articles in each layer are arranged side by side in a second direction. The plurality of layers are arranged side by side in a third direction. The first, second, and third directions being perpendicular to one another. The thread-like element is around two of the glass articles in at least one layer so that the two glass articles are spaced apart. The thread-like element has a cross section between at least 0.25 mm and at most 4.0 mm.

A packaging system included a support member and a packing component. The support member includes a base, a head portion, and a leg. The head portion extends from the base in a first direction. The leg extends from the base in a second direction opposite the first direction. The packing component includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion defines a first aperture configured to receive the leg. The second portion defines a second aperture configured to receive the head portion.

An M-type inflatable bag includes a bottom wall, two side walls, two protective walls and two connecting portions. The bottom wall includes a plurality of bottom gas columns. Each of the side walls includes a plurality of side gas columns. Each side wall is located on two opposite sides of the bottom wall. The side walls and the bottom wall are divided at a joint to form a receiving space and a limiting space. The protective walls include a plurality of protective gas columns, and the protective walls are separately located outside the side walls. The connecting portion includes a plurality of first heat sealing nodes adjacent to the side wall and a plurality of second heat sealing nodes adjacent to the bottom wall. When the side wall and the bottom wall are bent, a buffer bump is formed between a first virtual bending line and a second virtual bending line.

A packing container for a display device includes: a main tray; a first panel support portion configured to protrude from a base portion disposed inside the main tray; a first base protruding portion configured to protrude from the base portion, and to be opposite to a first side surface of the first panel support portion; and a first sub-tray located on the first panel support portion of the main tray, wherein the first sub-tray includes: a second panel support portion located on the main tray, wherein the second panel support portion is opposite to a panel support surface of the first panel support portion; and a first lower protruding portion configured to protrude from a first edge of the second panel support portion toward the base portion, and to have an end portion between the first side surface of the first panel support portion and the first base protruding portion.
