A container for consumer goods is provided, the container including a box portion and a lid portion depending along a hinge line from a top edge of the box portion. An inner frame is slidably received within the box portion, the inner frame including an inner frame front panel, and first and second inner frame side panels each depending along an inner frame side panel fold line from first and second inner frame front panel side edges respectively. Each of the first and second inner frame side panels includes a back edge spaced apart from the respective inner frame side panel fold line. The inner frame further includes first and second inner frame back panels each depending along a respective inner frame back panel fold line from the first and second inner frame side panels respectively.

The technology disclosed herein includes a storage apparatus comprising an inner sleeve, including a first tab including memory-inducing laminated material, a second tab including memory-inducing laminated material, and an inner sleeve storage compartment; and an outer sleeve encompassing the inner sleeve when the storage apparatus is locked, and including a first aperture for receiving the first tab in a first locking mechanism, and a second aperture for receiving the second tab in a second locking mechanism.

The technology disclosed herein includes a packaging apparatus including an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve, and at least one locking mechanism configured to lock the inner sleeve inside the outer sleeve. In some implementations, the locking mechanism is an interior sliding mechanism, which locks the inner sleeve in its entirety in the outer sleeve. In some implementations, the locking mechanism is an interior sliding mechanism, which permits the inner sleeve to move partially out of the outer sleeve. In some implementations, the locking mechanism includes a spring, a tab, a flap, a key, a magnet lock, or other locking component. In some implementations, the inner sleeve includes a pull tab for removal of the inner sleeve from inside the outer sleeve.

A material storage and transport system is disclosed. The material storage and transport system can include a material storage tray forming a storage volume defined by a bottom and walls extending up from the bottom along a perimeter of the bottom. The material storage and transport system can also include a releasable strap adapted to extend across the bottom when in a securing configuration and a sample carrier, including at least one sample secured to a sample support substrate by a molded sheet. The material storage and transport system can include a hinged lid that is integrally connected to a wall of the material storage tray, and configured to convert between a folded-in position, an opened position, and a closed position.

The technology disclosed herein includes a storage apparatus comprising an inner sleeve, including a first tab including memory-inducing laminated material, a second tab including memory-inducing laminated material, and an inner sleeve storage compartment; and an outer sleeve encompassing the inner sleeve when the storage apparatus is locked, and including a first aperture for receiving the first tab in a first locking mechanism, and a second aperture for receiving the second tab in a second locking mechanism.

The present disclosure may provide a package assembly for packaging an object. The package assembly may include a bottom panel, at least one group of side panels, a left panel, a right panel, and at least one fastener. The at least one fastener may correspond to the at least one group of side panels respectively. For each of the at least one fastener, the fastener may be fixedly connected to a portion of a corresponding group of side panels. The portion of the group of side panels can be folded inwardly to make the fastener contact with an object placed on the bottom panel. The left side panel and the right side panel can be folded outwardly to fasten the fastener such that the object is fixed on the bottom panel.

A method for manufacturing and packaging a special-shaped cigarette includes the following steps: designing inner packaging case paper capable of being folded into a special-shaped cigarette accommodating cavity; folding the inner packaging case paper to form the special-shaped cigarette accommodating cavity; filling an interior of the special-shaped cigarette accommodating cavity with an ordinary cigarette; and shelving for a certain period of time, so that a cross section of the ordinary cigarette changes from a circle to a special shape, and the ordinary cigarette is accommodated in the special-shaped cigarette accommodating cavity. A diameter of an inscribed circle of the special-shaped cigarette accommodating cavity is less than a diameter of the ordinary cigarette, and a material of the inner packaging case paper is a paperboard or a food grade PVC sheet.
