A reusable container is provided for storage and transport of prepared meat in log format. The container has a base, a pair of upwardly extending side walls, and a pair of upwardly extending end walls connected with the side walls to form a generally rectangular box. The box has four interior edges and four interior corners where the side and end walls join the base. The box is integrally formed of molded polyethylene. Each of the four interior edges and four interior corners has a rounded interior profile to prevent accumulation of material and facilitate sanitation between uses. A reusable container system is also provided having a removable lid, and access panel.

A bottom surface member (12) of a container (100) defines an xy-plane, and a side surface member (14) defines an xz-plane and a yz-plane. A protective member includes a receiving part (22R) that has a first receiving surface (24) parallel to the xz-plane and a second receiving surface (23) parallel to the yz-plane, and a supporting part (22S) integrally formed with the receiving part. The supporting part has a first flat plate section (22Sa) parallel to the xz-plane, a second flat plate section (22Sb) parallel to the yz-plane, and a third flat plate section (22Sc) that is provided on the first flat plate section and the second flat plate section and is parallel to the xy-plane. The receiving part has a fourth flat plate section (22Ra) that has the first receiving surface and is parallel to the xz-plane, a fifth flat plate section (22Rb) parallel to the yz-plane, a sixth flat plate section (22Rc) facing the fourth flat plate section with a gap therebetween, and a seventh flat plate section (22Rd) that has the second receiving surface and is parallel to the yz-plane. A gap (22G) is formed between the seventh flat plate section that has the second receiving surface and the fourth flat plate section that has the first receiving surface.

The present invention relates to a storage container comprising a base having a continuous side wall extending upwardly from a bottom wall and terminating at a top peripheral rim defining an upper opening. The container has a lid to open and close the upper opening, and the base of the container has a foot in the form of a rib on the underside of the bottom wall, in which the rib snap connects with a mating lid recess on an upper surface of the lid. In addition, the foot is profiled with a lead-in portion on the rib that is configured to guide the rest of the foot into the lid recess, and the foot is further profiled with a retaining portion on the rib that follows the lead-in portion to snap connect with the lid recess.

A packaging box is provided, which comprising a box body with a top opening and an openable cover connected at a top of the box body. The box body comprises a bottom wall and a side wall connected to a peripheral edge of the bottom wall, and a top of the side wall forms an arc top edge folding outward. The openable cover further comprises a top wall and a fastening part connected to a peripheral edge of the top wall. A convex rib is formed on the fastening part which matches with the arc top edge. The convex rib blocks at a lower edge of the fastening part. A concave recess is respectively arranged on opposite sides of the side wall. The sealing performance as well as the strength of the packaging box is effectively improved, while the structure of the packaging box is convenient for operation.

Systems and methods for providing compostable food containers which preserve the quality of a food product for an extended duration of time, and which optionally allow for cooking of the food product therein. In some implementations, the food containers are sturdy, stackable, insulating, and require minimal or no manual labor to assemble. In some implementations, the food container includes a base and a cover which cooperate to form a closed chamber for supporting, protecting, insulating and optionally cooking a food product, such as a pizza. The base and cover may each be formed of a single layer of material including, but not limited to, molded sugarcane fiber (bagasse), molded wood fiber, molded bamboo fiber, molded paper or plastic. The base and/or the cover may include one or more detachable portions that may be selectively separable from the remaining portion of the base and/or cover.

A stackable container, including a body and a cap threadingly engageable with a neck portion of the body and having a top portion formed with a depression for selectively oriented snap-registered engagement with a base portion of a counterpart of the body, the cap further including handle projections and a skirt. Opposite stop structures prevent rotation of the cap relative to the body beyond predetermined threaded engagement; a detent releasably captures the body in the predetermined threaded engagement. A base portion of the body having inclined side walls facilitates rotation of the body with respect to the cap. The skirt extends downwardly more than an axial length of the neck portion for guiding the body into alignment with the cap. A consumable product such as a cosmetic can extend into the cap from the body.

A stackable container includes a solid compostable or recyclable body formed primarily of a plant fiber. The body includes a floor and a plurality of side walls that are coupled to the floor along first common edges. Each side wall is coupled to two adjacent side walls along second common edges to surround an interior space of the container. A top surface of the side walls provides a rim that includes a recess or projection configured to couple the container to a corresponding projection or recess of an overlying container. A bottom surface of the floor includes a recess or projection that is configured to be coupled with a projection or recess of an underlying container.

A container assembly includes a container body having a side wall encircling an axis, and a metal end for attachment to an upper edge of the side wall via heat-sealing. The outer peripheral region is shaped prior to application to the container body such that an annular channel is defined between an inner chuck wall and an outer chuck wall of the metal end. The metal end is pushed straight onto the side wall such that the upper edge of the side wall is received into the channel. The surfaces of the side wall and the opposing surfaces of the chuck walls have heat-sealable material thereon. The metal end is heated to melt and fuse the heat-sealable layers, thereby sealing the metal end onto the side wall. The metal end is shaped such that the free edge of the outer chuck wall is not exposed.

A thermally insulating packaging to hold an item includes a solid compostable or recyclable shell that is formed primarily of starch, and a bottom cover. The shell includes a floor, a plurality of inner side walls that are coupled to the floor, a rim coupled to the plurality of inner side walls, and a plurality of outer side walls that are couple to the rim. The floor and the plurality of inner side walls define an interior space of the shell to receive the item and an opening to the interior space. The plurality of inner side walls and plurality of outer side walls have a space therebetween that defines a gap. The gap can be an air-filled cavity, or be filled with a compostable or recyclable core material.

A stackable toolbox has a body and an engaging block rotatably mounted on the body. The body has corresponding engaging grooves of two first recesses and engaging ribs of two first protrusions in positions away from the engaging block. When two toolboxes are stacked up with each other, the engaging ribs of the first protrusions of one of the toolboxes are mounted in and engaged with the engaging grooves of the first recesses of the other toolbox, and the engaging block is turned to engage with the engaging bumps of the toolboxes. Multiple stackable toolboxes may be stacked and be lifted together.
