Exemplary features of various embodiments include one or more of an overmolded pad on the bottom of the container, a removable handle incorporating a releasable retaining structure, a lid that seals within the container cavity and is flush with the outer periphery of the container sidewall and/or has a cellular internal reinforcing structure, a skirt extending around the sidewall that is integral with handle mounts for the handle and/or provides a connection point for external components, and a drop-in tray with a collapsible handle.

A package that can comprise a shipping and dispensing construct comprising a plurality of panels and dispensing features extending in one or more panels of the plurality of panels. The package further can comprise a plurality of product holding containers that are removably attached to one or more panels of the plurality of panels. The dispenser features can be for forming the package into a plurality of segments, and each segment of the plurality of segments can be for comprising a portion of the shipping and dispensing construct and at least one of the product holding containers of the plurality of product holding containers.

A package includes a structure and a handle structure portion. The structure constitutes a housing space to house a packaged object. The handle structure portion is disposed in the structure, formed by a perforated line, and lifted from the structure. The perforated line includes a cut portion, a connecting portion, and a notched cut line. The notched cut line is provided with respect to a central reference line that is an axis of symmetry of the handle structure portion. The notched cut line includes a base portion and a leading end. The notched cut line is included within a range closer to the boundary point than a center line of the connecting portion parallel to the lifting direction of the handle structure portion.

An improved shipping article includes a single piece of substantially planar material with parallel scores formed therein thereby defining substantially planar sections of the shipping article, the planar sections of the shipping article defining, when the piece of substantially planar material is folded along the parallel scores, a first pair of opposing, substantially parallel, spaced-apart sides, a second pair of opposing, substantially parallel, spaced-apart sides that are substantially perpendicular to the first pair of sides, and a pair of dividing walls located adjacent each other and dividing a compartment formed by the first and second pairs of sides into two sub-compartments. A top extension is sized and shaped to fold down to form a top of one of the sub-compartments. Each of the top extensions includes a hole therein sized to receive a human finger or thumb to facilitate lifting, and shelves form sub-sub-compartments.

A carton for holding at least one article includes a plurality of panels that extends at least partially around an interior of the carton. The plurality of panels includes a bottom panel, a front panel, a back panel, at least one side panel, and a top panel. The carton further includes a tray formed from the bottom panel, the front panel, the back panel, and the at least one side panel, and the tray is for at least partially receiving the at least one article. The carton further includes a lid formed from the at least one top panel, the lid includes at least one article engaging feature for engaging the at least one article.

A sunscreen dosing device and a sunscreen bottle with the sunscreen dosing device are disclosed. The sunscreen dosing device comprises a cup and a structured elongation which is an integral part of the cup. A first ear and a second ear are integral parts of the cup. For attaching the sunscreen dosing device to a body of a sunscreen bottle a free end of the structured elongation can be inserted in the first or the second ear.

A method of collapsing a box from an expanded configuration to a collapsed configuration is disclosed. The method of collapsing a box from an expanded configuration to a collapsed configuration, the box comprising a side panel and a bottom panel attached to the side panel, can comprise bending a center fold line of the side panel; unbending a length fold line defined between the side panel and the bottom panel; bending a first corner fold line that extends from a bottom panel corner of the bottom panel to an edge fold line of a center subpanel of the bottom panel; and bending a second corner fold line that extends from the bottom panel corner to a longitudinal center line that bisects a bottom panel edge of the bottom panel.

Packaging box configuration for packaging potted plants, comprising a basic box (1) having a fixed wall, four side walls and an open side which can be closed off by a lid or door. The basic box is configured to be able to be used either vertically (“wardrobe mode”), wherein one of the side walls then serves as a bottom wall and the fixed wall as a rear wall, or horizontally (“chest mode”), wherein the fixed wall then serves as a bottom wall. To this end, the basic box comprises two mutually opposite side walls which are provided with folding lips which can be pushed in. The basic box can be used vertically using a first bearing platform and support platform which engage with the folding lips of the basic box. The basic box can also be used horizontally using a second bearing platform and support platform.

An improved shipping article includes a single piece of substantially planar material with parallel scores formed therein thereby defining substantially planar sections of the shipping article, the planar sections of the shipping article defining, when the piece of substantially planar material is folded along the parallel scores, a first pair of opposing, substantially parallel, spaced-apart sides, a second pair of opposing, substantially parallel, spaced-apart sides that are substantially perpendicular to the first pair of sides, and a pair of dividing walls located adjacent each other and dividing a compartment formed by the first and second pairs of sides into two sub-compartments. A top extension is sized and shaped to fold down to form a top of one of the sub-compartments. Each of the top extensions includes a hole therein sized to receive a human finger or thumb to facilitate lifting, and shelves form sub-sub-compartments.

A container comprises a connecting means, which forms an integral part of the container or is detachably attached to the container. In an unpacked state of the container, at least a portion of the connecting means is detached from the container and at least partially spans at least a part of a circumference of the container. In the unpacked state of the container, the connecting means provides a handle suitable for being supported by a carrier. A system comprising a respective container and a method for providing a container with a handle are described.
