An insulative insert for a shipping container includes at least one insulative pad and an inner layer. The at least one insulative pad is formed from fibers of a first material having a first strength. The first material includes at least one of cellulose and synthetic polymer. The inner layer is formed from a second material having a second strength that is greater than the first strength. The inner layer is joined to the at least one insulative pad to form the insulative insert. The insulative insert is configured to lie flat in an unfolded position and to form a cube shape in a folded position.

A container for supporting a food product includes a tray and a liner. The tray includes a plurality of panels at least extending at least partially around an interior of the tray, the plurality of panels comprising a bottom panel, at least one side panel, at least one end panel, and at least one corner panel. The liner includes a central panel and at least one marginal panel each foldably connected to a gusset. The container is reconfigurable between a first configuration in which the at least one end panel and the at least one corner panel are in generally planar overlying relation with the respective bottom panel and the at least one side panel, with the liner positioned therebetween and with the gusset in a folded arrangement, and a second configuration in which the at least one side panel, the at least one end panel, and the at least one corner panel are generally upright relative to the bottom panel with the gusset in an expanded arrangement.

A combination packaging includes an inner packaging having first side walls, which can be erected from a flat into an erected state, and an outer packaging having second side walls, which can be erected from a flat state into an erected state. The outer packaging has at least one closable lid and one closable bottom, which are articulated to the second side walls and can be folded in into a closed state. The inner and outer packaging are arranged such that they can be jointly transferred into the erected state. The outer packaging, in the erected and closed state thereof, encloses the inner packaging. At least one connecting element connects the inner packaging to the outer packaging, the connecting element having a predetermined breaking point arranged such that erecting of the combination packaging, closing of the inner packaging, or opening of the outer packaging severs the predetermined breaking point.

A box blank useful for forming a container includes a first layer comprising paperboard, a second layer comprising a paper layer and a foil layer, and an adhesive layer adhering the first layer to the second layer, wherein the foil layer is between the paperboard and the paper layer.

This invention relates to a corrugated cardboard box (1) for the transport of fresh produce, such as frozen fish, which has improved insulation and leak-tightness properties and facilitates placing adhesive strips during the final sealing of the box, said box comprising a top cover (2), a bottom cover (4) and an intermediate leak-tight container (3) that is positioned inside the top cover (2) and the bottom cover (4) and has vertical folded edges (6).

The present related to a shoe box that accommodates different shoe sizes and styles. In many embodiments the shoe box is provided with a protrusion which limits movement of items within the box. In some embodiments the protrusions are able to be placed in an extended or contracted position. In some embodiments there are a variety of extended positions which a protrusion could be placed in such that the size of the protrusion can be altered based on the size of the contents inside of the shoe box. In some embodiments the protrusion is attached to the shoe box and others it is removably attachable. In other embodiments the protrusion can shift within the shoe box such that the protrusion can be placed in the area which most needs it. This invention beneficially allows different sized items to be securely placed in the same shoe box.

An apparatus includes a box including one or more side walls, each of which defines an inside surface. A bag is disposed in an internal region defined by the box. Drinking water is contained in the bag, the water being non-alcoholic. The bag is adapted to protect the water from contaminants, tastes, and odors, each of which originates from either the bag itself or a source external to the bag. A water-resistant coating may be applied to the respective inside surfaces. When condensate forms on the bag, the water-resistant coating at least resists absorption of the condensate into the one or more side walls. The apparatus may include a spout, which permits the water to be dispensed from the bag for human consumption. In an exemplary embodiment, the water is treated with a sanitizing additive such as, for example, ozone. The apparatus mitigates the environmental impacts of drinking water packaging.

A container for consumer goods includes a rigid outer box having a hinged lid configured to provide access to an inner volume of the outer box, and a rigid inner box comprising panels separated by fold lines and assembled from an inner box blank. The inner box blank includes a top front panel separated from a top panel by a first transverse fold line, a back panel separated from the top panel by a second transverse fold line, a bottom panel separated from the back panel by a third transverse fold line, a bottom front panel separated from the bottom panel by a fourth transverse fold line, and the top panel and top front panel include side flaps. The inner box blank comprises a plurality of layers including paperboard and bundle wrap.

A box blank useful for forming a container includes a first layer comprising paperboard, a second layer comprising a paper layer and a foil layer, and an adhesive layer adhering the first layer to the second layer, wherein the foil layer is between the paperboard and the paper layer.
