A carton has an automatically erected bottom that securely closes the bottom of the carton. In one embodiment, the carton blank has two major side panels and two minor side panels serially connected. The carton blank has two bottom flaps which form the bottom of the carton. Each bottom flap is connected to one of the major side panels and one of the minor side panels. The carton blank avoids the erecting and forming issues associated with prior art carton blanks which have an automatically erected bottom.

A method including providing a substrate including a substrate surface with a first surface free energy; treating one or more sections of the substrate surface by applying a coating including an ink and/or at least one ink component; and applying a wax coating to at least one of the one or more treated sections of the substrate surface, in which the wax coating has a second surface free energy and the coating including the ink and/or ink component has a third surface free energy that is greater than the second surface free energy such that adhesion of the wax coating to the treated sections of the substrate surface is increased. Also provided is an article formed from a treated substrate.

A folding blank has a main body. The main body has an inner surface and an outer surface. Only the outer surface has printing thereon. The main body further includes an outer lid that is configured to selectively move between an opened position and a closed position where a remainder of the folding blank has been folded into a box. The outer lid has an outer lid panel, a first outer lid wing panel, and a second outer lid wing panel. Each of the first outer lid wing panel and the second outer lid wing panel are configured to fold inwardly from an unfolded position to a folded position so that the inner surface of the first outer lid wing panel and the inner surface of the second outer lid wing panel are disposed adjacent to and facing the inner surface of the outer lid in the folded position.

A bag-in-box shipping container including an outer rigid container and an inner flexible container including a dispensing device. Sides of the rigid container are defined by an outer front panel, a first side panel, a back panel, a second side panel, and an inner front panel connected in series at respective first, second, third, and fourth fold lines. A plurality of top flaps are foldably joined to upper edges of the panels to define a top side of the rigid container. A plurality of bottom flaps are foldably joined to lower edges of the panels to define a bottom side of the rigid container. Outer and inner portal covers are formed in the respective outer and inner front panels, and a tear tab is defined by perforated lines adjacent the upper edge of the outer front panel, longitudinally aligned with the outer portal cover.

There is disclosed packaging comprising a base, a pair of first flaps located on opposing sides of the base and arranged to be folded over the base and secured together so as to define an packaging enclosure, and a pair of second flaps located on opposing sides of the base and arranged to be folded over the pair of first flaps and secured together so as to form a cruciform configuration with the pair of first flaps. First and second opening features are provided which are independently operable in use to respectively separate the pair of first flaps from one another and the pair of second flaps from one another so as to open the packaging.

A leakproof and liquid-tight packaging box of corrugated board, which box is erected mechanically using glueing as an aid. What is essential in the invention is that the corner surfaces of the structurally strong, torsionally rigid, leakproof and liquid-tight packaging box stackable one on top of another are folded and glued to the outer surface of the vertical surface of the short side. In addition, it comprises an inward-formed cone structure of the vertical surface of the long side of the box, and a rigid and load-resistant beam structure is formed on all sides of the packaging box.

A case for beverage containers comprising a single continuous waterproof surface having walls and a floor and defining a container space, the container space being expandable by the movement of at least one of the walls so as to expand the container space.

A box is made by folding a sheet of material. Preferably, the box is formed by applying adhesive and folding using a machine, and a waterproof or water resistant coating is applied so that the box is configured for use as a cooler. The box includes (a) a storage portion, including a bottom panel, a first end panel, a second end panel, a first side panel, and a second side panel; (b) four corner panels; (c) a top panel including tabs; and (d) a latching panel attached to the first side panel and pivotable relative thereto about a fold line, the latching panel including first and second subpanels. The latching panel includes cuts extending between and dividing the first and second subpanels through which the tabs respectively extend when the cooler is in a closed position.

A foldable includes side members formed as a transverse central portion of the board, and folded respectively to form side surfaces of the box; an upper member formed to extend in an upper direction of the side members, and divided by a cutting line along a folding direction to form an upper surface of the box; and a lower member formed to extend in a lower direction of the side members, and divided by a cutting line along a folding direction to form a lower surface of the box.

The present disclosure relates to a storage container and, more particularly, to a foldable packaging system and methods of assembly. The foldable packaging system includes: a main body; a front flap section; and an intermediate body portion connecting to both the main body and the front flap section at a first fold line and a second fold line along upper and lower edges of the intermediate body portion, respectively, wherein the first fold line has a length x, the second fold line has a length x, and x>x.
