A carrier for holding a plurality of containers includes a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carrier, the plurality of panels including a plurality of side panels and at least one bottom panel foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels, locking features in the at least one bottom panel for at least partially maintaining a formed configuration of the carrier, and a plurality of system engagement features for at least partially receiving a portion of an outer container, each system engagement feature having a plurality of lines of weakening defining a plurality of separably connected sections in the at least one bottom panel.

A compartmentalization system for an industrial tote includes a base; side walls, which include recesses for retaining bins within the tote; and end walls. The tote may include eight recesses in each side wall for receiving a pair of inserts on a bin. The bins typically include two or four tabs. The bins that are used with the tote system include a base, opposed side walls, and end walls that define the interior of the bin. Typically, a lip formed at the top of the side and end walls to improve strength and stability. The tabs are formed on the exterior of at least one side wall. The tab is inserted into the recess in the tote. Each tab includes a riser that is substantially normal to the sidewall and a tab formed at the end of the riser so that the tab is spaced apart from the sidewall.

An object to be packaged is positioned and secured on a set rack, and the set rack is placed on a buffer material provided on a bottom plate of an inner packaging cover. Right/left cover portions of the inner packaging cover are folded up at folding lines so that the inner packaging cover covers the set rack, and the set rack is placed on a bottom panel of the outer packaging case with the inner packaging cover therebetween. Thereafter, an open/close panel is slid along a guide groove formed on a side opening of the outer packaging case so as to close the side opening by the open/close panel, and an upper opening is covered by a top plate panel to thereby store the object to be packaged in the outer packaging case using the inner packaging cover and the set rack.

A shell and retainer containment system for storing and transporting bottles, comprising an outer shell and an upper retainer. The outer shell includes a base, a number of sidewalls, and a top rim cooperatively forming a central cavity. The top rim includes a set of handles, a set of forklift fork openings for lifting the outer shell and retainer containment system via a forklift fork, and stacking geometry. The upper retainer secures the bottles in the central cavity and includes a brace and four corner reinforcements. The brace is positioned above the bottles and includes access openings for allowing access to bung openings of the bottles. The corner reinforcements extend upwards toward upper corners of the outer shell and include fastener openings for attaching the upper retainer to the outer shell via fasteners for securing the bottles in the central cavity.

A container for liquid food substances which comprises a first containing element (1) having a first body (2) delimiting a cavity (4), and a closing part (5) for closing the cavity (4). The first body and the closing part (5) are made of a metal material. A second containing element (8, 108) made of plastic material for foodstuff, which comprises a first part (9, 109) suitable to be completely housed in the first containing element (1). A neck (10, 110) departing from an upper wall (9A, 109A) of the second containing element (8, 108), suitable to cross the through opening (6) of the closing part and provided with an outflow part (11, 111) projecting outside the closing part suitable to allow the food substance to flow out of the container. The outflow part (11, 111) having mechanism (12, 112) for removably connecting a cap (13) for tightly sealing the container.

A method of shipping at least one child-resistant medicate container via a carrier includes providing or obtaining at least one child-resistant medicate container including a front sidewall, and an opposing rear sidewall, a right sidewall, an opposing left sidewall, and at least one locking mechanism. The method also includes creating or obtaining a flat-rate shipping package from a carrier, inserting the at least one child-resistant medicate container into the package, and closing the package to enclose the at least one child-resistant medicate container within the package so that the package is generally flat and acceptable by the carrier for a flat-rate shipping. The method also includes causing the closed package to be shipped or transported by the carrier at a flat-rate.

A substrate container is provided including an inner pod configured to accommodate a large format reticle, and an outer pod configured to contain and secure the inner pod. The inner pod can be clamped together using a clip or features provided on the outer pod. Features of the outer pod that can clamp the inner pod include flanges, grooves, angled clamping surfaces, other clamping features, or clamping mechanisms. Clamping mechanisms can be actuated by physical, electrical, and/or magnetic features, such as placement of a door in an opening of a shell, operation of a door latch, or interaction of a tool to release the clamping mechanism using mechanical, electrical, and/or magnetic force.
