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-fibre 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.

A carton for packaging articles includes top (14A, 14B) and bottom (18, 20) connected together by spaced side walls (12A, 12B, 12C; 16A, 16B, 16C) to form a tubular structure, and an end closure structure (22) at one end of the tubular structure. Each end closure structure includes first and second top flaps (32a, 32b) connected to the top (14A, 14B) and interconnected to anchoring panels (24a, 24b). The top flaps are not directly connected together but through the top of the carton.

The present disclosure relates to a package comprising an enclosure and retentions. The enclosure is sized and configured to receive several articles aligned within the enclosure. The enclosure has an opening at each of two opposite ends. A retention is located at each end of the enclosure. At least one retention is retractable. For grouping, the articles are aligned on a pre-formed foldable sheet. The sheet is folded to enclose the articles. Opposite edges of the sheet are glued together to form an enclosure about the plurality of articles. A retention is folded at each end of the enclosure. After placing the package on a shelf, any retention at one end of the enclosure is displaced to free the articles. Pushing on the articles through an opposite end allows the articles to slide onto the shelf. A pre-formed foldable sheet for forming the package is also disclosed.

The invention relates to a coated paperboard (10) for beverage container carriers (30) comprising: a paperboard substrate (12), a dispersion coating layer (18, 20) on each side (14, 16) of the paperboard substrate (12), wherein the paperboard substrate (12) comprises wet strength agents in an amount in a range from 0 wt % to 0.05 wt %, based on the dry solid content of the substrate (12) and sizing agents for making the paperboard (12) substrate more hydrophobic, wherein the sizing agents are present in an amount of 0.15 wt %, especially in a range from 0.15 wt % to 0.5 wt %, based on the dry solid content of the substrate (12). The invention further relates to a beverage container carrier (30) comprising or being made from the aforementioned coated paperboard (10).

The present invention is a divider box assembly comprising a plurality of individual compartments formed from a plurality of transverse, longitudinal panels and exterior panels. Such exterior panels arranged such that they may form high strength internal and external partitions to support stacking of a plurality of divider boxes and also providing increased resistance to rough handling during shipment and storage.

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.

A carrier for holding a plurality of articles. The carrier comprises a plurality of panels that extends at least partially around an interior of the carton. The plurality of panels can comprise a first top panel foldably connected to a second top panel and a back panel. The second top panel can be oblique with respect to the first top panel and the back panel. A crown retention feature can be in the back panel adjacent the first top panel for at least partially receiving a top portion of a first article of the plurality of articles. A crown receiving opening can be in the second top panel spaced apart from the first top panel for at least partially receiving a top portion of a second article of the plurality of articles so that the top portion of the second article extends at least partially through the crown receiving opening.

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.

The invention provides an easy to grasp handle and opening for packaging of individual packaged products that are sold in multi-packs, also referred to herein as bundles. The multi-pack is a plurality of individually packaged products that are over-wrapped together by a wrapper, such as a plastic film In certain embodiments the packaged products comprise a package and a consumer good, such as facial tissue. The bundle of individually packaged products comprising a plurality of packages, wherein each of the plurality of packages contains at least one product and a film wrapper surrounding at least a portion of the plurality of packages, wherein the film wrapper comprises an overlapped portion having a first film wrapper layer and a second film wrapper layer, the overlapped portion having an attached zone and an unattached zone.
