A material storage and transport system is disclosed. The material storage and transport system can include a material storage tray forming a storage volume defined by a bottom and walls extending up from the bottom along a perimeter of the bottom. The material storage and transport system can also include a releasable strap adapted to extend across the bottom when in a securing configuration and a sample carrier, including at least one sample secured to a sample support substrate by a molded sheet. The material storage and transport system can include a hinged lid that is integrally connected to a wall of the material storage tray, and configured to convert between a folded-in position, an opened position, and a closed position.

A fastener for fixing a pair of opposing flaps of a box in a closed state includes a receiving part extending along a first direction, with a flap abutting part configured to abut surfaces of the flaps being arranged on at least one side of the receiving part, the flap abutting part constituting a tab part for which at least a portion is curvable or bendable upward, a linking part having a rod shape and extending from a center portion of the receiving part, and a pressing part having a rod shaped that extends outwardly from an end of the linking part along the first direction, the pressing part being configured to be inserted into a gap at a juncture of the flaps so that spaces on both sides of the linking part between the receiving part and the pressing part constitute insertion areas into which the flaps are inserted.

A material storage and transport system is disclosed. The material storage and transport system can include a material storage tray forming an open-top storage volume defined by a bottom and walls extending up from the bottom along a perimeter of the bottom. The material storage and transport system can also include a releasable strap adapted to extend across the bottom when in a securing configuration and a sample carrier, including at least one sample secured to a sample support substrate by a molded sheet. A lid element and the sample carrier can be adapted (i) to fit within the storage volume when arranged parallel to the bottom, and (ii) to be secured to the material storage tray by the releasable strap.

A fastener is configured to fix a pair of opposing flaps of a box in a closed state. The fastener includes a receiving part, a pressing part opposing the receiving part, a linking part interposed between the receiving part and the pressing part, spaces on both sides of the linking part between the receiving part and the pressing part constituting insertion areas into which the flaps of the box are to be inserted, and a cutter part on the receiving part, the pressing part, or the linking part.

A pack for smoking articles having: an inner container housing a group of smoking articles and provided with an extraction opening for the smoking articles; a closing tab coupled to the inner container in the area of the extraction opening to close the extraction opening, the closing tab being glued to the inner container in a releasable manner; a rigid outer container that houses the inner container; and a cup-shaped lid hinged to the outer container so as to rotate, relative to the outer container, between an opening position and a closing position. The closing tab has: a plastic layer arranged internally, a through opening arranged in the area of the extraction opening, and directly glued to an outer surface of the inner container using re-stick glue; and a paper layer arranged in contact with the plastic layer and more on the outside than the plastic layer.

A fastener for an image display assembly comprising a polygonal planar body having a ventral surface with at least one fastening member extending from the ventral surface. The fastening member comprises a fastening member body and at least one cantilever tab extending from the fastening member body. Each cantilever tab comprises a fastener retainer facing the ventral surface. Also provided is an image display assembly comprising retaining features; an assembled image display comprising said image display assembly and said fastener; a kit comprising said image display assembly and said fastener; a method of creating an image display; and use of said image display assembly and said fastener to create an image display.

A box includes a lid having a handle, wherein the handle comprises at one end thereof a toggle, and wherein a wall of the box comprises an opening through which the toggle of the handle is received for securing the lid in a closed position. Also disclosed is the combination of a box, a handle, and a clip, wherein the clip is secured onto a front wall of the box and a toggle of the handle is latched onto the clip for securing the lid of the box in a closed position.

The present invention relates to a box fastener. The box fastener can have sides with both a top piece and a bottom piece that are separated by a gap. The bottom piece is deformable along its length. The bottom piece has a hole that is either offset or enlarged compared to a corresponding hole in the top piece to accommodate the arcuate path of a curved piercing element of arm. A seal can be provided between the top and bottom piece. The piercing element optionally can puncture the seal and the seal can be fastened around the arm that is in the locked position. Unlocking of the arm will break the seal thereby revealing evidence of an unlocking event. The fastener has a bottom with grips having angled distal surfaces. The grips provide increasing levels of grip as the thickness of the box increases, and vice versa.

A carton with fastening structure includes an inner box including an inner case body, an outer case cover including an outer cover body sheltering inner case body, and an elastic fastening part fixed inside the inner case body. The outer cover body includes an opening providing the inner case body to slide in. The outer cover body slips relative to the inner case body to shelter the inner cover body at a closed position. The elastic fastening part includes a shifting part. Each of the outer cover body and the inner case body includes an outer through-hole and an inner through-hole, respectively. The shifting part includes a fastening position, where the shifting part passes through the outer through-hole and the inner through-hole when the outer cover body is at the closed position, and a retracted position, where the shifting part does not pass through the outer through-hole and the inner through-hole.
