Folded box for holding prepared food and beverages
The present invention is a folded box that is made from a single stamped blank of paperboard. When folded, a box is formed that contains both a food trough for holding food and a beverage rail for holding beverage cups. The paperboard blank has a base panel. A front panel, a rear panel and two side panels are coupled to the base panel. Slots are formed in the side panels. A cup receptacle panel extends from the rear panel. Locking tabs extend from the cup receptacle panel. The folded box is configurable between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration. When in the unfolded configuration, the locking tabs on the cup receptacle panel extend through the slots in the side panels, therein mechanically interconnecting the cup receptacle panel to the side panels.
Multi-Compartment Snack Storage and Dispensing Appliance
A food and beverage Appliance enables storage and consumption of a food and beverage meal, such as cereal and milk, in a portable form factor allowing consumption of the meal while in motion or during or after travel. The Appliance stores the food and beverage separately, and dispenses the food and beverage separately and non-simultaneously to preserve the crispiness and freshness, and to allow the user to control the size of each portion dispensed. The Appliance prevents leakage of the beverage out it its compartment, whether during filling, storage, traveling, or dispensing, to prevent getting the food soggy prior to dispensing and to prevent messes. The Appliance enables a revolution in healthy snacking and quick and easy mobile meals. Features make the Appliance either reusable or disposable. It also can create a new revenue category for takeout restaurants, and ideal for pre-packaged retail applications.
FOLDABLE PACKAGE CONTAINING DIVERSE ITEMS
A foldable package for containing multiple diverse items for convenient access to the items, said package having first and second pocket parts with front surfaces, back surfaces, top and bottom edges, and opposite end edges. The pocket parts are foldably joined to each other along a spine and are pivotable about the spine from an open position to a closed position with one pocket part overlying the other so that the front surfaces are in confronting juxtaposed relationship. At least one pocket is formed on the front surface of each pocket part, the pockets having open upper edges through which items may be inserted into and removed from the pockets. A closure flap on one of the pocket parts is foldable over an adjacent edge of the other pocket part to secure the pocket parts in closed position.
PACKAGING FOR LIGHT BULBS
A protective sleeve, adapted to receive at least a first light bulb, includes parallel first and second panels, wherein at least the second panel includes a plurality of apertures. The package also includes a pair of sidewalls generally perpendicular to and connecting the panels, wherein the first panel, second panel and sidewalls together define an interior space. A second sleeve is adapted to receive at least a second light bulb. When the sleeve and the second sleeve are received together into the outer shell in an inverted orientation relative to each other sleeve, the respective second panels of the sleeve are adjacent each other, and the bulb portion of each of first and second light bulbs positioned with the sleeve intrudes into an interior space of the adjacent sleeve through at least one of the plurality of apertures of each of the sleeves.
Packaging for light bulbs
A protective sleeve, adapted to receive at least a first light bulb, includes parallel first and second panels, wherein at least the second panel includes a plurality of apertures. The package also includes a pair of sidewalls generally perpendicular to and connecting the panels, wherein the first panel, second panel and sidewalls together define an interior space. A second sleeve is adapted to receive at least a second light bulb. When the sleeve and the second sleeve are received together into the outer shell in an inverted orientation relative to each other sleeve, the respective second panels of the sleeve are adjacent each other, and the bulb portion of each of first and second light bulbs positioned with the sleeve intrudes into an interior space of the adjacent sleeve through at least one of the plurality of apertures of each of the sleeves.
Folding panel packaging with tab locks
Packaging is formed from a unitary, cross-shaped blank folded to form a packaging to hold a product. Some panels of the packaging include cutouts, and the material from the cutouts is adhered to other panels to form fastening elements to hold the box together in a closed configuration via a friction fit. This adds efficiency to the material usage of the packaging. The folded panels fold at miter cuts, such that the outward facing edges are sharp cornered and the opposing miter surfaces increase structural integrity of the finished packaging. Complementary edges of the packaging also are formed with miter cuts (or chamfer-type cuts), such that the complementary edges form a sharp corner, with opposing miter surfaces increasing structural integrity of the finished packaging at complementary edges just as at the fold lines.
Tray With Divider Features
A tray for holding one or more articles includes a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the tray, the plurality of panels including a front panel, at least one bottom panel, at least one back panel, at least one hinge panel, and at least one divider panel, a plurality of end flaps foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels, and divider features forming at least one divider wall extending in the interior of the tray to form a plurality of compartments in the interior of the tray, the divider features including the at least one divider panel.
PACKAGING BOX
A packaging box includes a box body; a box cover integrally formed with the box body; and at least one baffle arranged inside a cavity of the box body, the at least one baffle divides the cavity of the box body into at least two cavities; the box body is integrally press-formed from a plate provided with a plurality of bending dents; and each of the at least one baffle is formed by bonding of adjacent side walls of two adjacent quadrilateral positioning frames, and an extension wall for positioning the quadrilateral positioning frames is foldable and disposed at each of a first side wall of the box body and a second side wall of the box body.
CONTAINER WITH INTEGRAL DIVIDER WALL
Containers for holding packaging, such as blister-pack packaging, can be formed from a unitary piece of paperboard or other material. The containers have an interior defined by front and rear walls, first and second sidewalls, and a container bottom. The containers also include a divider panel that separates the interior into at least two sections. Flaps having multiple apertures for receiving corners of the packaging can be attached to the first and second sidewalls and the divider wall.
SINGLE-SERVE CONDIMENT CONTAINER AND ASSOCIATED METHOD
A container comprises a wall and a floor. The wall has an upper rim defining an opening for receiving a foodstuff. The floor and the wall together define a chamber for containing the foodstuff. An inward fold is formed in the floor such that a portion of the floor projects into the chamber and such that a full-length crevice is defined by the floor. At least a portion of the opposing sides of the inward fold have cooperating non-planar contours, such as cooperating zigzag or serpentine contours.
