A self-sealing container is formed from a blank comprising panels and end flaps connected along fold lines with the panels and the end flaps being foldable along the fold lines to form the container. The container includes a securing feature that seals the container in a closed position, with the securing feature providing a visual indication of opening if the container is opened from the closed position. After the container is opened, the securing feature provides a closure feature that allows the container to be closed.

The invention provides a foldable box connection structure, a foldable box and a method of using the same. The foldable box connection structure comprises a first side plate, a second side plate, a first hinge, a first top plate, a seam cover plate and a positioning plate. The first hinge is used to connect the first top plate and the second side plate. The seam cover plate can be folded to cover the first hinge, and the seam cover plate and the positioning plate are configured to secure the first hinge. The foldable box includes the above-mentioned connection structure. In the present invention, the first top plate is hooked by the first hinge and the seam cover plate, and a second top plate is hooked by a third hinge, so that the foldable box has a fixed structure. That is, in an expanded configuration, the first top plate and the second top plate are tightly attached to a top of the second side plate to prevent forming gaps between the first top plate and the second side plate, and between the second top plate and the second side plate, which greatly increases the compactness of the box and makes the box have simple and beautiful contour.

The invention relates to a one piece blank of a corrugated cardboard sheet material designed for forming a belt intended to form a box having a length L, a width W and a height H, wherein this blank includes a main rectangular body (10) extending along a longitudinal direction and two protruding rectangular parts (11, 12) extending in a transverse direction and symmetrically with regard to the main body, so as to define two perpendicular branches, a first branch being defined by the main body and a second branch defined by the protruding parts, the main body (10) having a width (D1) larger than the length L and a length (D2) larger than at least twice the width W plus the height H (2W+2H) and each of the protruding parts having a length (d1) larger than the height H or the width W and a width (d2) larger than the width W or the height H.

A locking device for a box includes a first panel defining a locking tab separable from the first panel and comprising a first tab subpanel and a second tab subpanel; the first tab subpanel extending from the first panel and the second tab subpanel extending from the first tab subpanel, the second tab subpanel including a neck and an ear, the ear extending from the neck in a lateral direction of the locking tab; and a second panel defining a locking opening, the locking opening sized to receive and capture the locking tab, the locking tab configured to engage an edge of the locking opening and thereby configured to prevent movement of the locking tab with respect to the locking opening in an opening direction of the locking device.

A container for consumer goods is provided, including a box to house the goods and having a box front wall, a box back wall, a box bottom wall, and box side walls, a top face of the box providing an access opening providing access to the goods; and a lid flap hingedly connected to the box back wall and including lid top and front walls, such that in a closed position of the flap the lid top and front walls overlie the access opening and the front wall, such that prior to a first opening of the container, the front wall is connected to each of the side walls along a line of weakness extending along a front edge of the respective side wall, and such that upon separation of the flap along the line, the flap is movable into an open position uncovering the access opening.

A food container includes a bottom panel and sidewalls pivotally connected to the bottom panel. A lid is pivotally connected to at least one sidewall to open and close the food container. A divider panel having at least one slot is inserted into any one of a plurality of slots in a spacer panel to create an adjustable compartment arrangement inside an internal cavity of the food container. The divider panel includes a groove that provides a recess between the divider panel and a sidewall of the food container that can accommodate a lip of the lid.

The present invention relates to a childproof container (1) comprising a store (2) and a closure system (7) and defining a compartment (8). The container comprises a safety device (11) with a first coupling portion (12) and a second coupling portion (13) configured to engage each other stably in an internal volume of the container (1) in a closing condition of the closure system (7) to define a locking condition wherein they prevent the closure system (7) from switching from the closing to the opening condition. The closure system (7) comprises an unlocking portion (18) configured to define a through access (19) that allows, in the locking condition of the safety device (11), the insertion of an opening device (20) into the internal volume of the container (1) that allows the disengagement between the first and second coupling portions (12, 13). The container comprises a guide body (24) carried by at least one between the second coupling portion (13) and the closure system (7). The guide body (24), in the closing condition of the closure system (7), is placed in the internal volume of the container (1) and is configured to guide the opening device (20) towards the safety device (11).

A lid for a pack for consumer goods, in particular a pack for smoking articles, comprising a container and a lid being pivotable about a hinge with a lid top wall, a lid front wall, a lid back wall and two opposite lid side walls, wherein the lid further comprises a reinforcement structure bonded to a contact surface of the lid top wall comprising a lid top wall counter panel, a first stabilizing flap and a second stabilizing flap, and wherein the reinforcement structure is further configured such that at least a part of an edge of the first stabilizing flap is aligned with at least part of a first edge of the lid top wall counter panel and at least a part of an edge of the second stabilizing flap is aligned with at least part of a second edge of the lid top wall counter panel.
