A retail ready package (100) for shipping and displaying products, which includes front (18) and rear panels (14) each having at least six sides and being spaced apart from one another along a longitudinal axis of the package when the package is in a shipping condition, wherein the front and rear panels each have a perforation line (90) associated therewith that facilitate a conversion of the package into an open-topped product display tray having a generally hexagonal shaped cross-section, which extends in a plane that is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the package.

A shipping container convertible to a display configuration, formed from a one-piece blank of sheet material. The container comprises opposing first and second side walls and opposing front and back walls. Top and bottom flaps are foldably joined to respective upper and lower edges of the front, back, and side walls of the container. The front wall comprises outer and inner front panels foldably joined to respective ones of the first and second side walls. A clean cut front separation line extends across the front wall. A side separation line extends diagonally along each of the side walls from opposing ends of the front separation line to an upper back corner of each of the side walls, and a portion of the front wall and side walls above the respective front and side separation lines define a removable cover portion of the shipping container.

A shipping container convertible into a display configuration at a point of sale comprises a top wall, a bottom wall, side walls and end walls all of which are foldably joined to one another to form an interior space to receive product having a predetermined height. Each of the respective side walls includes a respective pair of spaced apart slots formed therein. Each of the end walls includes a respective minor top flap being foldably joined thereof. The respective minor top flaps include a pair of locking tabs each of which is engaged with the corresponding slots. A headspace is formed within the interior space of the container so as to compensate for the height of the products when the container is flipped on its side for displaybility at the point of sale and permits a user to remove product from various layers of containers stacked upon one another.

A carton for holding one or more articles includes a first plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carton and forming a body of the carton, and a second plurality of panels extending at least partially around the interior of the carton and forming a lid of the carton, the lid is foldably connected to the body such that the lid is repositionable between an open position and a closed position. The carton further includes a plurality of end flaps foldably connected to a respective panel of the first plurality of panels and the second plurality of panels, and locking features for selectively maintaining the lid in a closed position, the locking features including a first locking flap foldably connected to the body and positioned for engagement with a second locking flap foldably connected to the lid.

A system for opening boxes includes a box; a perforated seam extending around a body of the box; a cord integral with the perforated seam, the cord having an exposed region accessible from an exterior of the box; pulling the exposed region of the cord tears the perforated seam to separate a section off of the box retaining structural integrity of the box.

Problem to be Solved Provided is a packing box that enables to easily release a slit lock in which slits of an insertion piece of an openable lid engage with side flaps connected to openable lid side edge portions of lid side members, even if the interior of a box body of the packing box is tightly filled with a product. Solution The top face lid (540) of the packing box (500) includes a part that can be torn along the tear inducing line (543) extending from the flap opposing edge (541) of the top face lid to the front end edge (542) of the top face lid (540), and the part is held and torn along the tear inducing line (543) by a human hand and is raised up with respect to the top face lid (540) to form the slit lock release gripping piece (544) that can be used for releasing engagement created by the slit lock engaging structure (LK), so that the engagement by the slit lock engaging structure (LK), which is the engagement between the insertion piece (550) and the side flap (530) in the slit (SL22) on the side in the lateral direction of the insertion piece (550) where the slit lock release gripping piece (544) is formed, can be easily released even if the interior of the box body of the packing box is tightly filled.
