Aspects of the disclosure relate to a carrier (90) for packaging a plurality of flanged articles, a blank (10) for forming the carrier. The carrier comprises a composite wall formed from two at least partially overlapping layers (12,20), including an inner layer (20) and an outer layer (12). The carrier further comprises a keel structure (70) folded into an interior of the carrier. The keel structure has an inner member (60) formed from the inner layer and an outer member (50) formed from the outer layer. The inner and outer members are hingedly connected to a respective one of the inner and outer layers along inner (61) and outer (51) fold lines respectively. The inner and outer fold lines are generally aligned in the direction of the thickness of the inner and outer layers.

A packaging assembly includes a packaging enclosure with a bottom closure that folds into a flap with a latch that locks into an opening on a face of the packaging enclosure. Upper faces of the packaging enclosure allow for juxtaposing and superposing a plurality of the packaging enclosures and providing space for air to circulate between them.

A packaging sleeve for retaining a plurality of individually packaged products includes a first sidewall having a first opening that partially receives a first product of the plurality of individually packaged products, as well as a reinforcing biasing beam that exhibits a spring action to bias the first product into the first opening by applying a force to the first product in a direction toward the first opening. The biasing beam includes a first wall and a second wall, with the first wall of the biasing beam contacting and biasing the first product, and the second wall of the biasing beam contacting a second product and biasing the second product into a second opening formed in the sleeve. The biasing beam is convertible between a fully compressed state and a fully expanded state, with the biasing beam being biased to the fully expanded state.

A carrier for holding a plurality of containers includes a plurality of panels that includes at least one central panel and at least one attachment panel configured to receive a portion of one or more containers of the plurality of containers. The at least one central panel includes a plurality of openings and is for being positioned between and attached to adjacent containers of the plurality of containers.

A carrier for holding a plurality of container includes a plurality of panels including at least one central panel and at least one attachment panel configured to receive a portion of one or more containers of the plurality of containers. The at least one central panel is for being positioned between and attached to adjacent containers of the plurality of containers.

A sleeve for a container includes a main body portion defining a primary loop that is configured to receive and surround a section of a container inserted therein. An ancillary portion is adjacent the main body portion and defines a secondary loop configured to receive and hold an ancillary item. A blank for constructing the sleeve includes an elongate strip of material having opposite free ends. The strip includes a first length extending from one of the free ends to an intermediate location between the opposite free ends and a second length extending from the intermediate location to the other of the free ends. The second length is shorter than the first length.

A flat cardboard blank forms tubular envelope type packaging for a pack of jars. The blank extends substantially along a plane formed by a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, where the plane further defines a packaging axis substantially perpendicular to the plane. The blank includes: tubular-blank panels including at least one top panel, two lateral panels, a base panel, a unit for securely attaching for closing the expanded blank on itself; cut lines, slot lines and score lines between the tubular-blank panels for folding the tubular-blank panels, expanding the blank and shaping the packaging of the pack; and a spacing/bracing part connected to the tubular-blank panels by cut lines, detachable from the tubular-blank panels when the packaging of the pack is shaped for being arranged and expanded into the bracing spacer and forming bracing walls of the braced jars on the lateral walls.

Disclosed is a flat cardboard separator element intended to hold cups in a pack, where the pack includes bottom cups from a lower layer and top cups from an upper layer and where the separator element includes at least one first side-panel, one central-panel and one second side-panel. The central-panel includes first openings, where each first opening is suited and intended to surround one top cup. The first and second side-panels include second openings, where each second opening is suited and intended to come to stop against a bottom cup. The second openings are arranged at a distance from the central-panel along a longitudinal direction.

A package includes a carton (90) and one or more articles (A). The carton includes a top panel (20), a base panel (16), a first side wall (14) and a second side wall (18). The first side wall includes at least one tab (42a) hingedly connected thereto. The at least one tab is configured to provide a support structure for facilitating stacking of the carton. The at least one tab has a lower edge in contact with an upper surface of an article and includes an upper edge in contact with an inner surface of the top panel of the carton so as to support the top panel of the carton above the upper surface of the article.

A blank for forming a carrier for holding at least one article includes a plurality of panels that includes a first main panel foldably connected to a second main panel. The first main panel includes a top panel portion foldably connected to at least one top side panel portion, and the second main panel comprises a bottom panel portion foldably connected to at least one bottom side panel portion. The blank further includes at least one handle feature for forming a handle.
