A carton for holding at least one article includes a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carton. The plurality of panels includes a top panel, a bottom panel, a front panel, a back panel, and at least one side panel. The top panel is recessed below a portion of each of the front panel, the back panel, and the at least one side panel to form a recessed top portion for receiving a portion of a vertically adjacent carton.

Packaging box for fruit, berries and vegetables comprising four side walls, a top side, and a bottom side. A portion of a side wall or the top side comprises a pour opening for tamper evident opening and pouring of content stored inside the packaging box. The pour opening comprises tear lines for opening the pour opening and means for accessing a tear grip of the opening portion.

A container formed from a blank and a method for constructing the container are described. The container includes a bottom wall, two end walls, each end wall including at least an end panel extending from an end edge of the bottom wall, and two side walls. The container further includes an upper reinforcing assembly at least partially extending from each end panel, and a side reinforcing assembly extending from opposing side edges of each end panel.

A Corrugated Box Assembly with Combination Self-Locking Lid and Tab-Style Fold Over Tab includes a box assembly that lies flat as a box blank having two rectangular sidewalls, two square sidewalls, rectangular flaps, and square flaps. The box blank assembles into a rectangular box having six faces and twelve edges. A fold over tab extends along the lateral edge of rectangular sidewall. The fold over tab has an adhesive, so that when folded over the joint between the square sidewall and the rectangular sidewall, the sidewalls of box are fastened together. Also, fold over tab creates a bulge on outer surface of box to help loose boxes stacked into each other. Multiple tongues and slots interlock in an intimate relationship to form constructed box. Multiple stacking tabs extend from top flaps to mate with corresponding stacking holes in an adjacent box assembly to stabilize multiple stacked boxes.

A container (10) comprising one or more walls (12, 14, 16) and a base (18) defining an enclosure for storing and displaying one or more items (90). A locking tab (22) is defined in each side wall (16) and corresponding locking slots (26) are defined in the base (18). The locking tabs (22) each define an undercut (22c). The container (10) can be mounted on top of a further container (10) to form a modular display device by inserting the locking tabs (22) of the further container into the locking slots (26) and sliding the container forwardly to engage the base (18) in the undercuts. The modular display device (34, FIG. 3) may also include a stand for supporting one or more containers at an angle on a horizontal surface and a header.

A system and method for storing, shipping, and displaying produce in a box which has a tamper-evident closure. The box may be formed of folded cardboard and a transparent plastic lid which engages top edges of the box. The lid has a plurality of tabs around its periphery that may be bent and inserted into slots or notches formed in the box edges, and then expand to a larger relaxed size. The slots or notches have perforated lines enabling the lid to be ripped upward to open the box, thus indicating that the container has been tampered with.

A packaging assembly includes a packaging enclosure with a bottom closure that folds into a flap with a latch that locks into an opening on a face of the packaging enclosure. Upper faces of the packaging enclosure allow for juxtaposing and superposing a plurality of the packaging enclosures and providing space for air to circulate between them.

A crate is described in the form of a flap-adhesively-bonded box composed of cardboard having a bottom (1) and a shell (2) protruding from the bottom (1), which forms reinforced upper longitudinal edge sections by way of edge flaps (8) folded inward between the shell corners. To provide advantageous design conditions, it is proposed that the shell (2) have, at least on one side of the shell corners, attachment flaps (10, 11, 26), which are each bent inward according to crease lines (12, 13, 27), which are outwardly offset in relation to the edge (14) of the reinforced longitudinal edge sections, by 90 and are adhesively bonded to the opposite side of the shell corner, and the bottom (1) be provided in the region of the shell corners with recesses (17) adapted to the outline shape of a catch attachment (15) formed by the attachment flaps (10, 11, 26).

A blank for being repeatably assembled into a box configuration without the use of adhesives. The blank has a bottom panel, a side panel foldably attached to the bottom panel, an end panel foldably attached to the bottom panel, and a locking structure configured to secure the side panel and the end panel in respective orthogonal positions with respect to the bottom panel. The locking structure includes an overlay panel foldably attached to the end panel and foldable toward an overlying position in which it overlies a portion of the side panel. The locking structure also includes a slot in the bottom panel, a flap foldably attached to the bottom panel and extending into the slot, and a tab foldably attached to the overlay panel for being lockingly received in the slot to secure the overlay panel in the overlying position.

A corrugated paperboard wraparound blank for forming a shipping case is provided, including five wall panels and four sets of end flaps connected via fold lines, at least two sets of stacking tabs, and at least two corresponding sets of receiving slots for receiving the stacking tabs. The wraparound blank is formed of a heavier material than a conventional blank, which would typically be difficult for automatic packaging equipment to form into a case, but the fold lines are creased with optional perforations or scoring. An optional modification aiding folding is presented for conventional case packers. The heavier fiberboard better supports and protects an inner product, such as cartons or paper bottles of liquids and reduces damage to the cap and neck. The heavier material in combination with the stacking tabs allows an increase in stacking height, thereby reducing transportation costs.
