A bicycle transport packaging which is in particular suitable for shipping bicycles includes a base body. The base body having four sides arranged all around. Two mutually opposite sides, i.e. an upper side and a lower side of the base body are open. For transport purposes, they are respectively closed by a separate cover element and a separate bottom element. According to the invention, in the area of the cover element a reinforcing element extending in particular over the overall length and width of the cover opening is provided.

Examples include a cardboard support element for a cardboard container, the support element comprising a cardboard structure extending away from a base plane, a first flap connected to the cardboard structure and extended in a direction normal to the base plane, a first primary panel and a second primary panel connected by a linear ridge, a first secondary panel connecting the first flap and the first primary panel, whereby a first primary folding region parallel to the linear ridge separates the first secondary panel from the first primary panel, and a first flap folding region parallel to the linear ridge separates the first secondary panel from the first flap. The first flap folding region has a folding factor larger than a first primary folding region folding factor, a ratio of the first flap folding region folding factor to the first primary folding region folding factor being of more than 1:1.

A container includes a plurality of panels connected together at fold lines configured for extending at least partially around an interior space, including a front panel, a first side panel, a back panel and a second side panel. A plurality of end flaps are included, each end flap foldably connected to a respective one of the panels. The end flaps are overlapped with one another to enclose an end of the interior space. An air cell flap is foldably connected to at least one of the end flaps and/or one of the panels, wherein the air cell flap is within the interior space and is inwardly offset from the end flaps to define an air cell between the air cell flap and the end flaps to protect product within the interior space.

A support element for a cardboard container. A lid incorporating the support element. A consumer product incorporating the support element, the lid, and the container. A cardboard blank for forming the support element. Related methods.

Packaging is provided including an upper lid having a handle disposed within a channel of a surface of the upper lid and vertically movable within the channel. A lower base box is coupled to the handle via a strap, such that a lifting force imparted to the handle lifts the lower base box when the strap becomes taut. The vertical movement of the handle within the channel overcomes any slack in the strap such that the handle does not contact an upper vertical surface in the upper lid, but a gapless interface between the upper lid and lower base box is maintained during lifting of the packaging. The strap is detachable from the handle and from the base box, such that it may be removed in order to open packaging by lifting the lid off of the base box.

A shipping assembly includes a folded core, made of corrugated carton or other foldable material, formed with a hollow center along the entirety or a portion of the core. A base at a bottom of the folded core is foldable along a folding line to attain a perpendicular position to the folded core. The base has two protrusions above the folding line. Upper and lower lateral members include two folded tabs which are inserted in upper and lower portions, respectively, of the column assembly to form a frame assembly. The frame assembly is affixed to an inner volume of a box.

A carton for holding an article. The carton can comprise a plurality of panels that extends at least partially around an interior of the carton. The plurality of panels can comprise a first panel and a second panel. An insert can comprise a central panel, an inner side panel foldably connected to the central panel, and an inner flap foldably connected to the inner side panel. The first panel can at least partially overlap the central panel, the inner side panel can be spaced apart from the second panel, and at least a portion of the inner flap can extend from the inner side panel to the second panel.

A corrugated box container with a main component including a base section and first and second side sections. The box container additionally includes first and second side support components associated with the first and second side sections for reinforcing the first and second side support sections. The box container further includes a cover component that is capable of engagement with the main component or the first and second side support components, such that the main component and the cover component present a fully enclosed space within the box container. The box container is erected from a knockdown configuration by folding the first and second side sections until the side sections are generally perpendicular with the base section; connecting the first and second side support components with the first and second side sections respectively; and connecting the cover component with the main component or the first and second side support components.

Devices for shipping products are provided. In some embodiments, devices for shipping at least one product are provided, the devices comprising: a main holder body formed from corrugated cardboard having at least one opening in which the at least one product can be placed, wherein the corrugated cardboard has an inner surface; and a reinforcement panel that that provides support to the inner side of the corrugate cardboard and includes at least one of a cut-out and a hole corresponding to the at least one opening in the corrugated cardboard. In some of these embodiments, the reinforcement panel is secured to the corrugated cardboard panel. In some such embodiments, the reinforcement panel is glued to the corrugated cardboard panel. In some of these embodiments, the corrugated cardboard has a thickness of E-flute.

A package assembly (300, 400, 500) comprising a package (100, 302) arranged to hold a food product, wherein the package (100,302) comprises a rear section (140) provided with a longitudinal seal (LS), and an exoskeleton (308, 402, 502, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300) attached to the rear section (140) of the package (100,302) such that an improved robustness is achieved and that the longitudinal seal (LS) is protected.
