A container for transporting and storing liquid, viscous or pourable substances, in particular a container of the Intermediate Bulk Container type. The container has a base, a side wall, and at least one outlet recess in the base and/or the side wall, in which an outlet valve is or can be arranged and which is closable on the outside of the container by a cover. The cover has a base section, by which the cover is fastened or fastenable to the container, and a closure section which is hinged on the base section via a hinge assembly such that it can pivot about a rotational axis. The hinge assembly can hold or lock the closure section in a self-supporting manner in a position releasing the outlet recess.

Disclosed herein is a packaging kit. The kit includes a pallet having a top support surface and fork lift apertures. The kit also includes a base having an enclosed volume sized so the pallet fits within the enclosure volume. The kit also includes side walls each being smaller in area than the top support surface of the pallet. The kit includes a plurality of joint supports with each of the plurality of joint supports configured to couple at least two side walls together providing support across the joints between the side walls. A coupler is provided that is configured to attach the base to the pallet. A cap is provided that is configured to slide down over top of the base substantially enclosing the enclosed volume between the base and the cap. The pallet, side walls, joint supports, and coupler fit within the enclosed volume. The packaging kit is also expandable to be assembled as a packaging system with a container positioned on the pallet.

The present invention provides a movable load bearing structure with a surface that includes antimicrobial agents capable of eliminating, preventing, retarding or minimizing the growth of microbes and also minimizing cross-contamination when the load bearing structure is being reused for cargos that differ from a previously transported cargo, for example, different food types, such as poultry, fresh vegetables, and fresh fruit. The load bearing structure may be a dunnage platform or a container for storing and/or shipping cargo.

The present invention relates to a plastic tank for the storage and transport of bulk materials, such as solids, liquids or semi-liquids, wherein said tank comprises a main body (1) with tapered sidewalls and a built-in pallet base (18) with four legs, a main rectangular lid (2), a secondary round lid (3) having a vent cap with a gas valve (4) and a bottom discharge opening (17). Said tanks are made of food grade HDPE of a special composition molded in one-piece using an injection molding process, and are nestable, when empty for shipment purposes and stackable, when full for storage purposes.

The present invention provides a thinner, movable load bearing structure having indentations, grooves, valleys, channels or other similar depressions on its underside. These depressions are mated with corresponding features for improved loading bearing capabilities. The load bearing structures also includes roughened side edges for improving the strength of the edges. The load bearing structure may be a dunnage platform or a container for storing and/or shipping cargo.

A collapsible crate and a method for synchronizing a method of assembling a collapsible crate are provided. The collapsible crate comprising a base, a first panel, a second panel, and a band style fastener. The first panel and the second panel are at least partially disposed within gaps between stringers of the base. The band style fastener is disposed about a portion of the base and a portion of one of the first panel and the second panel. The band style fastener secures the one of the first panel and the second panel to the base. The first panel and the second panel at least partially disposed in the base facilitates a transition fit therebetween. The collapsible crate is compact when the crate is collapsed and decreases a cost of the crate.

Provided are a packaging container, a packaging method, and a method for carrying metal foil, which can suppress damage and deformation of the packaging container and enable stable carrying even if the packaging container is carried while suspending it in the midair. A packaging container made of corrugated cardboard includes: a pallet 2 having leg portions 21; a body frame 3 arranged on the pallet 2, the body frame 3 having bearing grooves 31 at end wall portions 32 opposing to each other; and a lid portion 4 provided on the body frame 3, wherein each of the leg portions 21 is arranged on an inner side than each of the end wall portions 23 of the pallet 2.

An integrated container with a box and pallet is provided that is made entirely of corrugated materials, and is fully compatible with automated systems and methods for the safe collection, transfer, and treatment of infectious and hazardous waste. The integrated box and pallet made entirely of corrugated materials provides an improved high strength packaging solution that allows for safe transport of waste to a disposal location. The corrugated pallet and box are compatible with shredders and does not require metal fasteners. The corrugated pallet and box are completely recyclable, and may be made of a cardboard or of plastic. Separate waste collection containers may be collected and placed in the box of integrated container.

A reinforced Gaylord container is provided storage and transport, including stacked storage on a pallet. A core is provided for supporting a majority of a vertical load on the container, instead of such load being delivered to sidewalls. A positioning insert is provided for positioning the core within the container. A plurality of such containers may be placed on respective pallets and stacked.

A pallet-free bulk bin container comprises an open-ended bulk bin having a frame base at one end. A pair of channel inserts is configured to be engaged with the frame base to form pallet runners. A pair of center-filler supports is configured to enclose one end of the open-ended bulk bin. The bulk bin container may be shipped in a collapsed or knocked-down state and easily assembled into a larger container for use and being disassembled for re-use.
