A tray for holding at least one food product includes a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the tray, the plurality of panels comprising a bottom panel, a front panel, a back panel, and at least one side panel, a plurality of end flaps foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels and cooperating to form a rim extending outwardly from the plurality of panels, and denesting features comprising at least one denesting tab extending into the interior of the tray.

A blank for forming a package can include a base panel, a first base side panel foldably connected to the base panel, a plurality of first base side flaps foldably connected to the first base side panel, a second base side panel foldably connected to the base panel opposite the first base side panel, and a plurality of second base side flaps foldably connected to the second base side panel. The blank can include a hinge panel foldably connected to the base panel, a top panel foldably connected to the hinge panel, a first top side panel foldably connected to the top panel, a plurality of first top side flaps foldably connected to the first top side panel, a second top side panel foldably connected to the top panel opposite the first top side panel, and a plurality of second top side flaps foldably connected to the second top side panel. An end first base side flap and an end first top side flap can be formed and separated by a first cut line such that the end first base side flap and the end first top side flap are abutting each other, and an end second base side flap and an end second top side flap can be formed and separated by a second cut line such that the end second base side flap and the end second top side flap are abutting each other.

A tray has a back wall, at least two side walls, a front wall, and a bottom. The side walls have an inner side wall panel and an outer side wall panel, and a gap between the inner and outer side wall panels. The back wall has an outer back wall panel and an inner back wall panel, and a gap provided between the inner back wall panel and the outer back wall panel. The inner back wall panel has first and second side edges, a top edge, and a bottom edge. A first of the inner side wall panels has a back edge, a front edge, a top edge, and a bottom edge. A multilayered corner reinforcing structure couples the back edge of the first inner side wall panel to the first side edge of the inner back wall panel at a first corner of the tray.

A one-piece carton with a strong hang tab includes a back wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a top wall. A tab is formed from a first tab portion and a second tab portion to provide a tab having two layers of material. The tab can extend upward from the back wall of the container or from a mid-portion of the top wall. Flaps are provided on either side of the back wall, bottom wall, front wall and top wall to form side walls for the carton. The carton is formed from a blank of paperboard or corrugated paper or similar material.

Forming a cardboard blank includes making two score lines on a cardboard sheet to define a central sector with three portions and two lateral sectors. Four cuts are made in a direction transverse to the score lines to form in one lateral sector a first closing flap and first and second reinforcing flaps and, in the other lateral sector, a second closing flap and third and fourth reinforcing flaps. The first and second closing flaps are folded at respective score lines, and one portion folded to cover a flank of an article on another portion so the first and third reinforcing flaps project. A third portion is folded to cover another flank and an upper article face so the second and fourth reinforcing flaps project. A band folds the first two reinforcing flaps towards the first closing flap and the third and fourth reinforcing flaps towards the second closing flap.

The blank is made of corrugated board that is foldable in half with at least one half having a cutout to receive a good to be shipped. The folded blank forms a flexible insert that may be inserted into a pocket of a mailer. In one embodiment, one half of the blank is formed with multiple cutouts to receive a plurality of goods of the same or different sizes. In another embodiment, both halves of the blank are formed with cutouts.

A foldable blank for forming a carton for shipping and displaying a plurality of products in an integrated tray is provided. The blank includes a rear panel, a first and second side panels both foldably connected to the rear panel, an exterior floor panel foldably connected to the rear panel, and a front panel foldably connected to the floor panel that is less than half the vertical height of the rear, first side, and second side panels and defines at least one retaining tab, wherein when the blank is folded to form the carton, each of the rear panel, first and second side panels, and front panel are at least partially double-walled.

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 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.
