Containerized goods are packaged for transit using a partial or fully circumferential wrapper about which a tensioned-strap is secured, to form an integrated structural package that facilities rapid loading of a machine magazine or picking platform such as a shelf with pre-oriented articles as well as shipping the units palletized in several tiers for distribution and display. The wrapper may be of sheet wood-fiber origin or other materials, the open wrapper ends permitting clear display of the goods labels. D-cuts into the wrapper provide displaceable tabs, for locating and/or separating the adjoining containers, and further integrating the wrapper with its contents, when strapped to form transit packages, able to withstand the rigors of palletized transit.

Various embodiments of a metal container, such as a shot cup are described. The metal shot cup includes a body with a tightly curled rim at the top end of the cup. The body includes multiple tapered sections such that the diameter of the cup may be different at different places along a height of the cup. In various embodiments, the metal shot cup includes a polymer coating on at least one of the interior and exterior surfaces.

A contoured cushion including a body having a first pair of mounds defining a first valley therebetween and a second pair of mounds smaller than the first pair extending in further directions away from the first pair of mounds according to an angle defined by intersecting axes extending respectively through maximum linear extending depths of each individual one of the first and second pairs of mounds. The second pair of mounds defining a second valley therebetween and so that the cushion is adapted to being supported in either of first or second orientations for providing varying support to a back of a user's head and neck. An associated retail packaging provides for point of sale display of a combination of the cushion, a wearable poncho style blanket, and a storage bag.

A blank includes: a top panel, two side panels, a base panel, a closure panel, and a securing member for closing the erected blank on itself, four sets of corner post panels each extending from a side panel and able to be erected to form corner posts, a receiving portion extending over a portion of the base panel, for receiving the bottom walls of pots, delimited transversely by two intermediate base score lines which define, with the ends of the base panel, two connection/deformation sections on either side of the receiving portion. The intermediate base score lines form two deformable hinges, so that the receiving portion can be moved relative to the ends of the base panel along a vertical axis after formation of the packaging and the pack.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a panel interlocking device, a carton, and a blank for forming the carton. The carton blank incorporating a panel interlocking device for securing together a first and a second panel in overlapping relationship. The panel interlocking device comprises a locking tab struck from the first panel, and a retaining tab defining a locking aperture struck from the second panel. In use the retaining tab is displaced out of the plane of the second panel to receive said locking tab through the locking aperture to be engaged therewith. The retaining tab has opposing side edges each concavely curved as viewed from the outside of the retaining tab.
