Corrugated containers with a seal and corresponding systems, blanks, and manufacturing methods are provided. An example corrugated container for receiving products therein includes a bottom panel and a plurality of wall panels extending therefrom. When the container is formed, the plurality of wall panels are folded with respect to the bottom panel and extend upwardly to form a receptacle with the bottom panel. The corrugated container further includes a plurality of flange flaps that each extend from one of the plurality of wall panels. When the container is formed, the plurality of flange flaps are folded away from an opening of the receptacle and define a rim for receiving a seal thereon (e.g., a top seal). The seal is formed of film and sized to fit over the opening of the container to contain the products within the receptacle. An eco-friendly product container is thus provided.

A method of forming a packaging brace for a washing machine appliance includes providing a flat blank. The method also includes folding a left side panel and a right side panel of the flat blank inwards towards each other. The method further includes positioning a bottom panel of the blank above an opening in a cabinet of the washing machine and inserting the bottom panel into a basket of the washing machine through the opening whereby a contoured profile of the opening urges the blank to fold and form a packaging brace for the washing machine appliance.

The present invention provides a biaxially twisted structure having curved developable surfaces which can be represented by a simple net. The net is in a two-dimensional shape of two congruent rotationally symmetric convex polygons misalignedly connected along a shared edge. A three-dimensional shape of the structure can be reconstructed from the net by sequentially connecting its edges. The structure has a unique design and mechanical feature, which can be utilized as a box, container, part, toy, building and so on.

A carton with an elongated expandable flap intended to hold items in a vehicle. Formed of a unitary sheet of blank material. The carton comprises a plurality of panels that Includes two bottom panels, a front wall, a rear wall, first side wall, and a second side wall that define the cavity. Two generally rectangular, opposed first and second side wall are connected to the remaining opposed edges of the bottom panels and project upward therefrom. Each front and rear wall is connected at one of its edges to one of two opposed edges of the bottom panels and projects upward therefrom. A different embodiment could comprise an integrated top panel for closure.

A product package includes a frame part provided with a base and walls. Edge parts on the top edge of the walls are folded outwards to form a flat edge section, where the frame part is a recess for product packing. The frame part is preferably a recyclable fiber material and the recess is lined on the inside with a separate inner lining removable from the frame part. The edge section functions as a fastening surface for the inner lining. The inner lining and the edge parts are arranged to form a one-piece and unbroken edge section of the package as a fastening surface for the inner lining. Adjacent edge parts are fastened in a leakproof manner at their ends to each other with a butt seam forming a corner seam and the fastening is reinforced with a reinforcement piece fastened under the corner seam and edge section ends.

A container and a corresponding blank for the container are disclosed. The container may have a lower part and an upper part for receiving food. The lower and the upper part may each have six or eight side walls and a substantially flat bottom wall or top wall connected to the side walls. A pivoting connection may be formed between a connection side wall of the lower part and a connection side wall of the upper part and free ends of the side walls end in an end plane extending obliquely to the horizontal plane. Such as configuration may make facilitate on the one hand safely storing food when the container is closed and on the other hand making the food more accessible when the container is open. In addition to the improved accessibility, the food may be largely visible on the side facing the front side wall.

Described herein is a food holder including a multiple-panel, tapered sleeve that may include a forward panel, a rear panel, two front-side panels and two back-side panels that for an irregular shape. The multiple-panel sleeve includes a multiple-panel bottom member connected to the bottom edges of the forward and rear panels. The bottom member includes a foldline that allows the bottom member to project upwards into a space defined by the panels when the space between the forward and rear panels is reduced. The food holder includes a tear-away portion defined by a line of perforations which may be removed by a consumer to allow access to lower portions of the food product. The irregular, tapered shape and proportionality of the bottom member promote the structural integrity of the food holder.

The invention relates to a stackable product package, a method of manufacturing the same and a product package blank. The stackable product package comprises a body part (2) provided with a bottom (3), and with walls (2a, 2b, 2c) in connection with the bottom (3), as well as with rim members (4a) folded outwards along folding lines (4e), at the top edge of the walls, and constituting a substantially planar rim portion (4), the body part (2) enclosing a receiving space for the product to be packed. At the lateral edges of each intermediate wall (2c) of the body part (1), and in proximity to a folding line (2e), bracket members (2f, 2g) are provided to keep the product packages (1), when nested, spaced apart.
