A plastic egg carton having features that enable aligning and stacking of multiple cartons for transport, and providing easy-to-view print and labeling areas in multiple directions. In one embodiment, the egg carton has a unique lid including a flat diagonal stacking panel (also referred to as a diagonal lid panel) that extends between two opposing corners of the rectangular shaped carton. The top wall of the diagonal lid panel can receive labeling or printing. The diagonal lid panel also includes a sidewall extending downwardly from the top wall toward a bottom perimeter edge of the lid, the sidewall having at each of the two opposing corners at least one flat side panel that can also receive printing or labeling. In one embodiment, each of the opposing corners includes a rounded corner portion and two flat side panels disposed on either side of the rounded corner, thus providing a total of four side viewing areas (each in a different direction) for labeling or printing, enabling the consumer to view information such as egg size, date, nutritional information, retail information, or UPC labels.

Container systems. Methods related to container systems.

The present invention relates to a container stopper having a multi-lock structure in which a multi-lock structure is applied to the inner circumferential surface of an opening of a lower stopper, and to the outer circumferential surface of a sealing protrusion of an upper stopper coupled thereto, thereby preventing the coupled stoppers from being easily opened due to shock or other external force generated during the distribution process or storage of a product. To this end, the present invention provides a container stopper comprising: a lower stopper (110) which is coupled to an inlet (10) of a container (10); and an upper stopper (120) which allows an opening (111) provided within the lower stopper (110) to be selectively opened and closed, wherein at least two locking parts (130) are formed so as to be spaced apart from each other in the insertion direction on the inner circumferential surface of the opening (111) of the lower stopper (110) and on the outer circumferential surface of a sealing protrusion (121) of the upper stopper (120) coupled to the inner circumferential surface. The present invention as described above has the advantages of allowing the main locking position of the upper stopper coupled to the opening of the lower stopper to be formed so as to be inclined toward the end side of the sealing protrusion, thereby preventing the upper stopper from being easily opened by external shock, and also of improving the assembly strength of the upper stopper by applying the position of the locking parts to at least two points on the outer circumferential surface of the sealing protrusion.

A container, preferably for loosely stored products, including a) a container body including a peripheral body wall; b) a cover including an outer peripheral cover wall and a cover skirt; c) a hinge connecting the container body and the cover; and d) at least one protruding element provided on an peripheral body wall of the container and/or on an outer peripheral cover wall.

Container having a container body comprising a bottom, a rim and a lid securing portion located adjacent the rim. A lid includes a lid base sized and configured to secure the lid to the lid securing portion of the container body and a lid door assembly movably mounted to the lid base. The lid door assembly includes a main door that can assume at least a closed position with respect to the lid base and an open position with respect to the lid base, a first side door that can assume at least a closed position with respect to the main door and an open position with respect to the main door, and a second side door that can assume at least a closed position with respect to the main door and an open position with respect to the main door.

A lid is provided that includes an access opening in a top wall thereof selectively coverable by a pivotable cover. The lid attaches to a foodstuff container and provides access to an interior of the container. The lid achieves this without requiring removal of the lid while also providing an impeded foodstuff dispense path having greater control. The cover pivots between open and closed positions, and in one form, can be secured in one or both positions. This can be achieved by releasably securing the cover to the top wall to hold the cover in the closed position and/or capturing a tab of the cover within a depression in an edge portion of the lid to hold the cover in the open position. The cover can further be integrally attached to the lid so that the cover is generally coplanar with the top wall when in the closed position.

A paperboard packaging container for bulk solids includes a container body having a container wall extending from a container bottom edge to a container body opening and having an inner surface facing an inner compartment in the packaging container, and a lid for closing the container body opening. An upper reinforcing rim is applied at the container body opening and extends along the opening edge, defining a perimeter of a container access opening and is joined to the inner surface of the container wall by means of a weld seal which extends around the container body opening and has an upper edge including a first abutment surface arranged to abut against a second abutment surface on an inner lid surface with the lid in a closed position on the container access opening and form a tight seal between the rim and the lid with the lid in the closed position.

A packaging container for scoopable bulk solids comprising a container body includes a container wall extending from a container bottom edge to a container body opening in a height direction of the container, and a closure arrangement including a lid. The container wall has an inner surface facing towards an inner compartment in the packaging container and an outer surface facing away from the inner compartment. The container body has an opening edge at the container body opening. A combined scraper bar and scoop holder is arranged at the container body opening and extends across a bent portion of the container wall between a first container wall portion and a second container wall portion, the combined scraper bar and scoop holder including a scraping edge and a first scoop fastening element for repeated fastening and releasing of a scoop.

A paperboard packaging container for bulk solids includes a container body formed by a container wall having wall portions, and a container bottom. The wall portions are connected by corner portions and each wall portion extends in a height direction from a lower end edge at the container bottom to an upper end edge at a container opening, the height direction being perpendicular to a cross direction of the container. An upper reinforcing rim is applied to the container opening. Each of the upper and lower end edge of the container wall has end edge portions corresponding to the wall portions. At least one edge portion has an outwardly curved shape and a radius of curvature larger than a radius of curvature of each corner edge portion, the at least one end edge portion bulges outwardly with a radius of curvature of 200-700 mm, preferably 300-600 mm, more preferably 400-500 mm.

A container includes a cup having a sidewall that expands to an upper end that defines an upper opening of the cup. A lid is attached to the cup by a hinge. The lid has a sidewall that reduces to an upper end. An upper opening of the lid is smaller than the upper opening of the cup. The container has a narrow-mouth configuration in which the lid covers the upper opening of the lid and the upper opening of the lid defines the sole entry and exit point for contents to and from the container. The container has a wide-mouth configuration in which the upper opening of the cup is uncovered. The lid is moved about the hinge to achieve the narrow-mouth and wide-mouth configurations.
