A one-piece blank and preassembly for constructing a container having an internal support structure includes a bottom panel, a wall panel or combination panel, and an auxiliary panel connected to the wall panel or combination panel. The auxiliary panel and the wall or combination panel are configured so that portions of the auxiliary panel automatically change state from co-planar to three-dimensional upon manipulation of the wall panel or combination panel to form the container.

A flat pack convertible stackable four sided storage box and eight sided nesting tote box comprises a base, two opposed longitudinal sides, two end sides having at least one cutline defining at least one end side opening, four triangular expansion sides with each triangular expansion side located adjacent one of the sides, and four moving conversion panels with each panel adjacent one of the expansion sides, each panel includes at least one panel opening configured to selectively align with one opening formed by at least one cutline and configured to receive a locking element there-through to be locked into one position, wherein in one position a stackable four sided storage box is formed and in another position an eight sided nesting tote box is formed and the box may be moved back and forth between the two configurations.

Fastener-free packaging includes a plurality of main panels, each main panel comprising an upper panel, a central panel, and a lower panel; at least one attaching connection feature located on at least one lower panel; and at least one receiving connection feature located on at least one lower panel, wherein each lower panel is connected to at least two other lower panels by an attaching connection feature connecting to a receiving connection feature such that all lower panels are connected together thereby forming a bottom.

A Corrugated Box Assembly with Combination Self-Locking Lid and Tab-Style Fold Over Tab includes a box assembly that lies flat as a box blank having two rectangular sidewalls, two square sidewalls, rectangular flaps, and square flaps. The box blank assembles into a rectangular box having six faces and twelve edges. A fold over tab extends along the lateral edge of rectangular sidewall. The fold over tab has an adhesive, so that when folded over the joint between the square sidewall and the rectangular sidewall, the sidewalls of box are fastened together. Also, fold over tab creates a bulge on outer surface of box to help loose boxes stacked into each other. Multiple tongues and slots interlock in an intimate relationship to form constructed box. Multiple stacking tabs extend from top flaps to mate with corresponding stacking holes in an adjacent box assembly to stabilize multiple stacked boxes.

A convertible carrier includes first and second carrier units (101A, 101B). The first carrier unit includes a first side panel (114A) and a first medial panel (110A) disposed opposed to the first side panel. The second carrier unit includes a second side panel (114B) and a second medial panel (110B) disposed opposed to the second side panel. The first and second medial panels are in a face-contacting arrangement to form a medial wall disposed between the first and second side panels. The first and second medial panels are retained in the face-contacting arrangement by at least one hinged connection (149, 161) between the first and second medial panels and by at least one removable joint. The removable joint is formed in part from part (162A) of the first medial panel and in part (162B) from part of the second medial panel.

A system and method for storing, shipping, and displaying produce in a box which has a tamper-evident closure. The box may be formed of folded cardboard and a transparent plastic lid which engages top edges of the box. The lid has a plurality of tabs around its periphery that may be bent and inserted into slots or notches formed in the box edges, and then expand to a larger relaxed size. The slots or notches have perforated lines enabling the lid to be ripped upward to open the box, thus indicating that the container has been tampered with.

Embodiments of a reusable stackable shipping box are provided herein. The reusable stackable shipping box may be reused and cleaned without causing harm to the integrity of the box. In addition, the box is slightly tapered in shape such that the box may be stacked upon and within other boxes for ease in shipping and organization.

A storage and shipping box includes first closing flaps of the exterior of the box that extend from a pair of opposing sides of the upper face of the box and that are capable of being sealed, stapled or glued in order to carry out one or several shipments. The box further includes second closing flaps of the exterior of the box that extend from the other opposing sides of the upper face of the box. The second flaps include a closing element to open and close the box as many times as needed and are capable of being used for the storage of products or for preparing orders before or after carrying out a shipment.

A cooler includes panels defining a storage area; corner panels; top panels forming a lid; a first handle panel connected to a first top panel and having a slot formed therein; a second handle panel connected to a second top panel and having a slot formed therein; and a first tab panel connected to a corner panel and having a tab defining a recess, the tab being configured to extend through the slot of the first handle panel and through the slot of the second handle panel for locking the handle panels and top panels in a fully closed, carry configuration of the cooler. Portions of the first and second handle panels are received within the recess defined by the tab. The second handle panel can be unlocked and the storage area accessed while holding the cooler with the first handle panel.

The invention relates to a layout for a box, having a bottom wall, four sidewalls and a cover, wherein the sidewalls each share a crease line with the bottom wall; wherein adjacent sidewalls share a connecting surface, which connecting surface shares a crease line with each of the two adjacent sidewalls; wherein the connecting surfaces are provided with at least one diagonal crease line; wherein the at least one diagonal crease line of the connecting surface coincides in one point with both crease lines between each of the adjacent sides and the bottom wall.
