A carrier belt for loading materials includes a carrier body, a protective film on a mounting surface of the carrier body, and at least one dividing strip sandwiched between the protective film and the carrier body, thereby spacing protective film from the carrier body to form a gap. The mounting surface comprises a plurality of loading areas to carry the materials and at least one non-loading area. The at least one dividing strip is arranged on the on the non-loading area, a height of the gap is greater than a thickness of each of the materials. A carrier roll is also provided.

A roll tensioner for use in maintaining a wrapping material cut edge of a wrapping material retained on a wrapping material roll located within a wrapping material box having an interior cavity with an interior front wall with a top cutting edge. The roll tensioner comprises a thin, flexible main body having distal and proximal end sections separated by a spring back reversion section, and formed having a first side and a second side. Attachment means, preferably an adhesive, is located on at least a portion of the proximal end section on the first side adapted to attach the proximal end section to the interior front wall of the wrapping material box. The spring back reversion section is composed of a material that has an immediate elastic response to a static load and is capable of substantially full recovery when the static load is removed. The distal end mechanically bends downward by way of the spring back reversion section in the interior cavity of the wrapping material box. The distal end section is adapted to rest against the wrapping material proximal to the wrapping material cut edge to retain the wrapping material cut edge in an upward, substantially parallel position to the interior front wall of the wrapping material box for easy grasping of the wrapping material cut edge by an end user.

A packaging body includes first and second sheet members superimposed on each other, and a sticking region formed on an outer periphery of the first and second sheet members. The sticking region has an opening portion in at least one part of the sticking region. The opening portion has an angled, convex shape and includes (i) a non-sticking portion in which the first and second sheet members are not stuck together and (ii) a plurality of first sticking portions that sandwich the non-sticking portion and in which the first and second sheet members are stuck together.

A processing line for packaging coils has a first conveyor, a sortation table, a pallet loader for placing a pallet on the sortation table, a coil discharge apparatus to move a coil from a discharge of the first conveyor to the sortation table, and a control. The control is configured to control: (i) the sortation table to move to an open position adjacent the pallet loader; (ii) the pallet loader to place a pallet at the open position of the sortation table; (iii) the sortation table to move such that the pallet occupied position is adjacent the discharge of the first conveyor; (iv) the coil discharge apparatus to move a coil from the discharge of the first conveyor on to the pallet; and (v) the sortation table to move such that the pallet occupied position is away from the discharge of the first conveyor. A similar method is provided.

An apparatus and method are described herein for a load carrying structure, and more particularly, to a load carrying pallet formed of modular interlocking components that do not require welding or bonding. An apparatus includes a load carrying structure having: a plurality of side members removably connected to each other to form a base; a first support member and a second support member, where the first support member and the second support member are each removably connected between a respective pair of the plurality of side members; and a top member, where the top member is removably fastened to each of the plurality of side members.

Embodiments are directed to methods, systems and packages for packaging the coreless paper products and accessory products. Embodiments include receiving paper products, receiving a container used for packaging the paper products, and packaging the paper products into the container. Embodiments also include inserting accessory products into a cavity formed by the paper products packaged in the container, and applying a label on the container to cover the cavity where the accessory products are inserted.
