The present disclosure provides low volume, highly adjustable packaging that reduces surface area by 25% and overall material by 60% compared with standard boxes. In some embodiments, the presence of a telescoping sleeve, that is slightly wider than and slides over a mating sleeve, allows the length of the packaging to be adjusted. These volume and length reductions save approximately two-thirds of shipping costs. Further, in some embodiments, strategically placed scoring allows the packaging to flex and contour to the shape of a three-dimensional object to be placed in the packaging. In addition, reinforced corners protect contents of the package, and, in some embodiments, portions of the packaging are designed to be repurposed as artwork.

The invention relates to a packaging system including box and wrapping papers of conventional type having a square folded bottom and side folds providing a box shaped assembly where the proposed assembly can be used for packaging of various types of items. The assembly is easy to use and can be used for packaging of consumer goods, gifts, surprise or mystery items, in promotional schemes or brand activation and marketing activities.

Embodiments of the subject invention are directed to a transparent container with an insert that maintains its form and position when fit snugly inside of the container. The container and insert material are chosen to take advantage of inherent properties including stiffness, static friction and static cling such that no further fastening material, such as glue, is needed to secure the insert inside the container.

Disclosed are freestanding displays of packaged consumer products, particularly consumer paper products. The packaged consumer goods generally comprise one or more goods disposed in a carton, such as a folded paperboard box that is at least partially overwrapped with a film having a plurality of graphic elements disposed thereon. The graphic elements are preferably disposed on the film such that at least two panels of the resulting packages are visually similar, and two panels are visually distinct. The packages may be stacked in arrays to form a display having two more faces that are visually similar. The present freestanding display helps consumers recognize the packaged products from a distance even when displayed amongst other packaged goods in a crowded supermarket or club store.

Variations for flat-folding box covers with four distinct design configurations: one piece; two piece; flat-folding structural frames and clear, rigid box covers with decorative inserts. Construction techniques comprise a variety of methods including use of cutout stock sheet materials; use of stiffening panels; use of structural frame elements; use of lamination; use of clear plastic panels; and the use of coatings. Fastening techniques comprise a variety of methods including; magnets, snaps, structural frames, hinges, and adhesives. The end user may purchase finished box covers or components or select from a set of design options offered by a manufacturer; or supply custom decorative images to a manufacturer to apply to the box cover; or purchase a kit in order to make or embellish a box cover themselves. Some designs allow for the end user to update and reconfigure the design elements of the box cover after it is purchased.

A blank for producing a three-dimensional structure, from paper, cardboard, or plastic, includes at least three lateral surfaces and at least one bottom and/or top tab for forming the three-dimensional structure in a folded state of the blank. At least two of the lateral surfaces and/or at least one of the lateral surfaces having the bottom and/or cover tab being connected to one another by means of at least one mechanically produced creasing line. The creasing line is produced without ablation or other removal of material from the blank, at least one groove being produced by means of a laser within at least one of the lateral surfaces connected by means of the creasing line. The groove being configured to run at an angle to the creasing line and impinging on or intersecting the creasing line. A three-dimensional structure and a folding box produced from the blank are also disclosed.
