A portion (308) of the inner frame back wall (302) is connected to the lid portion (408) so that, when the lid portion (408) is moved about the hinge line, the inner frame (300) slides within the box portion (402).

A flat panel cardboard packaging for protecting a flat panel (FP) comprises a base part (2), first and second side walls (6, 10) extending along parallel first and second sides of the base part (2), at least a first lid part (14, 18) adapted for covering the flat panel (FP) placed on the base part (2) between the side walls (6), and at least a first cushioning part (24). The first side wall (6) is supported at a first angle (α1), which is different from 0° to a plane perpendicular to the base part (2), to form a first side deformation zone. The first cushioning part (24) comprises 10 an outer gable portion (28) and an inner gable portion (30) which is arranged at a free inner distance (IS) from the outer gable portion (28), thereby forming an end deformation zone between the outer and inner gable portions (28, 30).

Dual-compartment food container is provided having an base portion including a base panel having first and second compartments defined therein and a cover portion including a cover panel joined by a common hinge portion. The cover portion is movable relative the base portion about the hinge portion from a substantially 180-degree open position to a closed position, wherein in the closed position, the cover portion is disposed over the first compartment with the second compartment extending beyond the cover portion. Each of the base portion and cover portion include at least one interlocking tab to releasably latch the base portion and cover portion. An engagement feature of the interlocking tabs can also provide a tactile indication to a user that the cover portion is secured in the closed position. A unitary blank for forming the dual-compartment food container from a sheet of blank material is also provided.

A resealable package, the resealable package comprising a polymeric substrate, the polymeric substrate comprising a first side panel, a second side panel, a closed bottom and an opening, the opening comprising a first side region and a second side region and the first side region and the second side region comprise a magnetizable composition, the magnetizable composition comprises a thermoplastic polymer and magnetizable particles and the magnetizable composition is aligned and magnetized to form a first magnet along the first side region and a second magnet along the second side region. The first magnet comprises a plurality of poles having a first leading edge comprising a first pole and the second magnet comprises a plurality of poles having a second leading edge comprising a second pole that is opposite to the first pole.

A tamper resistant box includes: a front panel; a side panel attached to the front panel at a first fold line; a back panel attached to the side panel at a second fold line; a side top flap attached to the side panel at a third fold line; and a front top flap attached to the front panel at a fourth fold line. In some examples, the side top flap can define a tapered slot extending towards the third fold line from an edge of the side top flap at a location distal from the third fold line, and a widest portion of the tapered slot can define a tapered slot width. In further examples, the front top flap can define a top slot having a top slot width that is less than the tapered slot width.

A multicompartment ventilated box is shaped by folding and attaching one or more blanks of a material. One or more attachment portions enable forming at least one compartment. The box may comprise an upper and a lower compartment and perforations that permit air flow between the compartments and to the exterior of the box. The compartments may be separated by a tray portion which transitions between an elevated and a collapsed position.

A blank made of a polymeric material is provided and used to form at least a portion of a container. The blank is folded to establish a base and a side wall included in the container.

A package for tobacco-related articles including an outer shell, a swivelable lid, and an inner shell adapted to accommodate a plurality of smoking or tobacco-related articles and mounted in the outer shell. The inner shell is moveable towards the top side of the outer shell from a retracted position to an advanced position, which enables access to the smoking articles. A sound-producing mechanism produces a sound when the inner shell is moved from the retracted position to the advanced position and/or in the other direction. The sound-producing mechanism includes at least one part arranged at the inner shell, which interacts in a sound-producing manner with a counterpart arranged at an inner face of the outer shell.
