A planter packaging arrangement is disclosed that comprises a packaging element and at least one planter mounter therein. The packaging element includes a bottom surface, a top surface and two pairs of opposing side walls collectively defining a generally enclosed space. A first opening is defined through the top surface and aligned with a second opening defined through the bottom surface of the packaging element. The at least one planter is mounted within the packaging element, with an open top end disposed within the enclosed space of the packaging element. The second opening is aligned with the open top end such that an interior of the planter is accessible through the second opening of the bottom surface of the packaging element. A portion of the body portion extends through the first opening of the top surface of the packaging element such that the bottom surface is disposed above the top surface.

There is provided a container system comprising an outer container comprising a base and a plurality of upstanding walls defining a cavity, a closure flap extending from a top of one of the upstanding walls wherein the first closure flap covers an opening formed by the top ends of the upstanding walls when the outer container is in a closed configuration, and wherein the closure flap includes a retention element that extends from the closure flap downward into the cavity of the outer container when the outer container is closed, and an suspension insert including a product retention compartment and a plurality of suspension units extending outwardly from the suspension unit creating a suspension gap on all sides of the product retention compartment when the suspension insert is installed in the outer container, wherein the retention element exerts a retention force on a the suspension insert.

The invention is a food box container and a method for operating same, the food box container comprises an open top box body pivotally connected to double-hinged top, the open top box body further defining a hollow interior configured to receive and hold food; the double-hinged top has a first hinge and second hinge that have a spaced-apart and parallel orientation to one another, the first hinge pivotally sections the double-hinged lid into a support panel and a top lid, the second hinge pivotally connects the support panel to the open top box body; the support panel further defines one or more removable caps which when opened from the support panel reveal support apertures to receive other containers of drinks, condiments and the like; and the top lid controls a second access to the hollow interior that is smaller than an access as provided by the double-hinged top.

A corrugated fiberboard blank has a first section that forms a container and a second section that is receivable within the formed container. The first section can be singlewall board and the second section can be singleface board that is hingedly coupled to the first section such that the second section can be received within the first section when the first section forms the container.

A method for producing reusable packaging from a carton. A rectangular blank has sides X and Y, a total area xy, 2(a+h)≤x≤3(a+h)+a, and y−2(h+r)≤b≤y, where a and b are side dimensions, h is height, and r is width, or width reduced by height h, of the periphery region R of the finished packaging. The method includes: producing folding lines B in the blank parallel to a first side Y at these distances from the latter: B.sub.1: a.sub.1=h; B.sub.2: a.sub.2=h+a; B.sub.3: a.sub.3=2h+a; severing of two severing lines T, each starting from opposite sides X, along one of the folding lines B, or the extension thereof; selecting the distance between two end points E.sub.T of the severing lines T which are closer to an axis of symmetry S.sub.1, which is parallel to the side X, such that the distance corresponds to a side B″ of the finished packaging or length of a side M of a packaging insert.

A container formed from a blank of sheet material includes an outer tray having a bottom wall, front and rear walls, and first and second side walls. A fold-in tray is configured to nest within the outer tray. The fold-in tray is hingedly connected along an upper edge of at least one of the first side wall, the second side wall, the front wall, and the rear wall.

The packaging element includes a bottom surface, a top surface and two pairs of opposing side walls collectively defining a generally enclosed space. A first opening is defined through the top surface and aligned with a second opening defined through the bottom surface of the packaging element. The at least one planter is mounted within the packaging element, with an open top end disposed within the enclosed space of the packaging element. The second opening is aligned with the open top end such that an interior of the planter is accessible through the second opening of the bottom surface of the packaging element. A portion of the body portion extends through the first opening of the top surface of the packaging element such that the bottom surface is disposed above the top surface.

The method includes first folding a top panel and a top hinge panel about a back panel and adhesively connecting the top hinge panel the back panel to form a first hinge, second folding a bottom panel and a bottom hinge panel about the back panel and adhesively connecting the bottom hinge panel to the back panel to form a second hinge, the first hinge and the second hinge being on first opposing edges of the back panel, and third folding a first side panel and a second side panel about the back panel to form a first wall and a second wall of a carton, the first wall and the second wall being on second opposing edges of the back panel.
