A reinforced sidewall for a container carton for shipment and display of products. The reinforced sidewall includes an interior sidewall, an outer sidewall, and a bottom panel that are interconnected for reinforcement of the container sidewall. Some embodiments include a shoulder structure for supporting a container placed atop the container that is automatically deployed when the outer sidewall and the interior sidewall are moved to an upright position relative to the bottom panel. Other embodiments include a shoulder brace that is automatically deployed to support the shoulder in a cantilevered relation with the interior sidewall. A stab tab is also configured to automatically protrude from the top surface of the shoulder. The stab tab is configured to be received in a recess in a superjacent container for indexed stacking of the containers.

Techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a container including a plurality of panels and a plurality of flaps integrally formed in a blank. The plurality of panels includes a front panel, a top panel adjacent the front panel, a back panel adjacent the top panel, a bottom panel adjacent the back panel, and a support panel adjacent the bottom panel, wherein adjacent panels are connected with one another. The plurality of flaps are configured to cooperate with each other to enclose the container at its ends. A first line of weakness is formed in the front and top panels and defines a first severable portion of the container. A second line of weakness is formed in the support panel and defines a second severable portion of the container, the support panel being fixedly attached to the front panel such that the first and second severable portions are generally aligned.

A consumer product that includes a detergent product and a container, particularly containers that include corrugated fiberboard, where the container includes a box and a lid, the lid having a top panel and flanks, and the flanks have a first flank corresponding to a first side of the lid from a first flank corner to a second flank corner, the first flank having a first major flap that includes a first flank corrugated fiberboard layer. Methods of making and using such products and containers.

A consumer product having a detergent product and a container, particularly containers that include corrugated fiberboard, where the container includes a box and a lid having a top panel and flanks, the flanks having at least a first flank that has a first major flap, the first major flap having a first flank corrugated fiberboard layer. Methods of manufacturing and using such products and containers.

A retail-ready container includes internal corner supports. The container is erected from a preassembly formed from a single blank. The blank includes a side panel, a bottom panel, and an auxiliary panel. Each of the side panel and the auxiliary panel include a plurality of sections connected by respective fold lines. The auxiliary panel is folded against the side panel and sections of the auxiliary panel are adhered to corresponding sections of the side panel. Fold lines of the side panel are laterally offset from fold lines of the auxiliary panel so that unfolding of the preassembly yields the container with internal corner supports.

A method of forming a container from a blank of sheet material using a machine is provided. The method includes forming a corner wall by folding a first pair of a plurality of reinforcing panels inwardly towards a respective side panel and into face-to-face contact with a second pair of the plurality of reinforcing panels, rotating the side panels and end panels to be substantially perpendicular to a bottom panel such that an interior surface of at least one reinforcing panel of the plurality of reinforcing panels is in contact with an interior surface of the first side panel, and coupling at least one other reinforcing panel of the plurality of reinforcing panels to one of the end panels to form the container.

Cardboard packaging for shipping collector cards in protective card holders is disclosed. The cardboard packaging may include a rectangular cardboard section having first and second pluralities of creases. The cardboard section may have a first flap, a central support section and an upper flap defined by the first and second pluralities of creases and opposed ends of the cardboard section. The rectangular section of cardboard may include a rectangular window disposed adjacent the first plurality of creases. The rectangular section of cardboard may also include a tab at one end of the rectangular section of cardboard, which tab may be adapted for engagement with the window when the rectangular section of cardboard is in a closed position in which it is ready for shipping. The cardboard packaging may come in a variety of sizes and configurations depending on the size of the cards and card holders to be shipped.

The present invention has particular applicability for packaging products and relates to an anti-theft box with a lock mechanism that includes an inner box, with an opening at the first end, a cover plate at the second end and a limiter on the outer wall, and the first end is opposite to the second end; and an outer box. The outer box forms a space, the inner box is installed in this space, the cover plate is outside this space, a locating part is installed on the inner wall of the outer box, and the limiter and the locating part are used in combination to prevent the inner box from being separated from the outer box. The advantage of the present invention is that the safety device in the anti-theft box must be opened to open the anti-theft box to confirm whether the box has been opened.

A box is made by folding a sheet of material. Preferably, the box is formed by applying adhesive and folding using a machine, and a waterproof or water-resistant coating is applied to the sheet of material so that the box is configured for use as a cooler. The box includes: a storage portion, including a bottom panel, first and second end panels, and first and second side panels; four corner panels; and first and second top panels. The top panels include openings that register when the box is assembled and in a closed configuration to define an opening to be used as a handhold for gripping the box. Reinforcing panels of one of the top panels includes flaps located on an interior of the box that cover the handhold opening. The box further preferably includes a locking tab and locking panel for latching closed the top panels of the box.

A blank for forming a reinforced container is provided. The blank includes a bottom panel comprising opposing end edges, opposing side edges, and at least one miter edge connecting one of the end edges to an adjacent side edge of the opposing side edges. The blank further includes a pair of opposing end panels coupled to the bottom panel, a pair of opposing side panels coupled to the bottom panel, and a reinforcing panel assembly coupled to at least one of one of the end panels and one of the side panels for reinforcing a corner of the container.
