Aspects of the invention provide a package system comprising: at least one secondary packaging container or carrier (790; 1090; 1190; 1290) holding at least one primary container (B); a tertiary packaging carton (10; 90; 110; 310; T) holding the at least one secondary packaging container; and a blank (110; 1110; 1210; 1310; 1410; 1510; 1610; 710; 810) for forming the carrier (790; 1090; 1190; 1290). The blank comprising atop or bottom panel which is asymmetrical in shape about a centre axis of the top or bottom panel. The top or bottom panel by itself providing a single-layer top or bottom wall when a carton is erected from the blank. A first free side edge of the blank extends transversely with respect to the centre axis, at least a part of the first free edge being symmetrical about a point of symmetry.

A packaging sleeve for retaining a plurality of individually packaged products includes a first sidewall having a first opening that partially receives a first product of the plurality of individually packaged products, as well as a reinforcing biasing beam that exhibits a spring action to bias the first product into the first opening by applying a force to the first product in a direction toward the first opening. The biasing beam includes a first wall and a second wall, with the first wall of the biasing beam contacting and biasing the first product, and the second wall of the biasing beam contacting a second product and biasing the second product into a second opening formed in the sleeve. The biasing beam is convertible between a fully compressed state and a fully expanded state, with the biasing beam being biased to the fully expanded state.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a carton for packaging one or more articles, a blank for forming the carton and a method of packaging articles. The carton may have at least one display window for presentation of an article therein. The carton comprises a plurality of panels forming walls of a tubular structure including a top wall, a first side wall, a base wall, and a second side wall. The carton comprises an end closure structure for partially closing an end of the carton. The end closure structure comprises a top end closure flap hingedly connected to the top wall. At least one side end closure flap is hinged to a corner panel by a first fold line. The corner panel is hinged to one of the first and second side walls by a second fold line.

A portable package carrying arrangement adapted and configured to carry a plurality of containers which is particularly applicable for use with canned items and/or items packaged in a container. The portable package carrying arrangement includes a panel portion and a handle portion. The panel portion includes a plurality of container flanges configured to releasably secure a plurality of containers to the panel portion.

A package (94) comprising at least one first inner carrier (92) and a second outer carrier (90), the or each of the at least one first inner carrier (92) having a first tubular structure, the second outer carrier (90) also having a tubular structure, and the second outer carrier being disposed, at least in part, on the outside of the first inner carrier such that the axes of the tubular structures are substantially perpendicular.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a carton for packaging one or more articles, a blank for forming the carton and a method of packaging articles. The carton may have at least one display window for presentation of an article therein. The carton comprises a plurality of panels forming walls of a tubular structure including a top wall, a first side wall, a base wall, and a second side wall. The carton comprises an end closure structure for partially closing an end of the carton. The end closure structure comprises a top end closure flap hingedly connected to the top wall. At least one side end closure flap is hinged to a corner panel by a first fold line. The corner panel is hinged to one of the first and second side walls by a second fold line.

A carrier for holding a plurality of containers includes a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carrier, the plurality of panels including a plurality of side panels and at least one bottom panel foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels, locking features in the at least one bottom panel for at least partially maintaining a formed configuration of the carrier, and a plurality of system engagement features for at least partially receiving a portion of an outer container, each system engagement feature having a plurality of lines of weakening defining a plurality of separably connected sections in the at least one bottom panel.

A carton for packaging one or more articles, includes a top panel, first and second side panels, a bottom panel, and at least one display window for displaying at least one article. The at least one display window is struck at least in part from at least one of the side panels. The at least one display window is interrupted by a retention strap for engaging at least one article.
