A wedge used to wedge objects in a box the wedge being a sheet made of a rigid, resistant and foldable material, including a central portion having a polygonal shape and size substantially equivalent to those of the bottom of the box, the sheet including at least one foldable flap, attached to the central portion via folding lines or hinges, wherein the central portion is provided with multiple grooves being segments of a curve or of a straight line, along which the material is crushed and the thickness thereof is reduced, the grooves constituting folding lines inside the central portion, which facilitate the deformation of the wedge, the grooves leading to the periphery or the proximity thereof of the central portion of the wedging sheet and they are not parallel to one another or to the sides of the central portion.

The present disclosure is directed to a support device. The support device includes an attachment portion that is configured to attach to an inner surface of a first wall of a box, a support portion having a proximal end rotatably connected to the attachment portion, the proximal end operably connected to the attachment portion in at least one section and the proximal end comprising a curved section, wherein the curved section comprises a support notch, and a securing portion having a proximal end rotatably connected to the attachment portion, wherein a distal end of the securing portion comprises a securing notch that is configured to engage with the support notch in the second position.

A coaster is structured to be coupled to a conventional cup, such as an iced beverage cup, using a conventional cup sleeve. The coaster includes a generally disk shaped base having an outer perimeter. Two or more elongate tethers extend outwardly from the outer perimeter of the base. The coaster assumes a combination-ready configuration with the two or more elongate tethers extending generally upright and outwardly to a same side of the base, in such a way that the coaster fits snugly within a conventional cup sleeve. In a final combination configuration with a cup sleeve, the coaster combines with the cup sleeve to create an insulating and water absorptive coaster and sleeve, frictionally and snugly coupled to the cup in a robust manner to make the coaster highly portable together with the cup and cup sleeve, and configured to collect condensation formed on the exterior surface of the cup.

A blank and a package are disclosed as well as a manufacturing method thereof of a package for flat plates, including: producing a foldable flat blank made of a packaging material; folding the flat blank to form a box-shaped package with open closable flaps; introducing the flat plates into the box-shaped package and closing the closable flaps; in the production step of the flat blank the following steps being further provided: supplying a web of the wrapping material to a punching and sorting unit to obtain strips parallel to a travel direction; punching and separating elongated modular pieces from the strips; folding flat to an L-shape the elongated modular pieces, bringing them close in pairs in correspondence of respective ends; fastening the modular pieces folded to an L-shape in correspondence of the respective ends, forming the blank in the shape of a quadrangular frame.

A method for producing insulation panels for shipping cartons, comprising narrowing a web of tissue paper selected from cellulosic or synthetic tissue paper, having an initial volume and thickness, to increase the volume and thickness of the web, thereby forming narrowed tissue paper web, sectioning a desired length of the web and enveloping such a narrowed structure with a paper material with lesser absorbency than the tissue paper.

There is disclosed a shipping container system comprising an outer container and a product compartment inside the outer container, wherein the product compartment comprises a product compartment base and a product compartment lid, wherein the product compartment base comprises a plurality of retention tabs maintaining a cushion gap between the product compartment and sidewalls of the outer container, a plurality of support tabs maintaining a cushion gap between the product compartment and a base of the outer container, and a pair of suspension units maintaining a cushion gap between the product compartment and each end of a pair of opposing ends of the outer container, and wherein the product compartment lid includes a plurality of space tabs maintaining a cushion gap between the product compartment and a lid of the outer container, wherein the cushion gaps are maintained between the product compartment and the outer container when the outer container is in a closed configuration.

A packaging system for a hot water heater includes an outer box, a top insert, an offset filler, a base insert, and one or more side panels. The top insert contacts a top surface of the hot water heater and a top inside surface of outer box. The offset filler is coupled to the top insert and is sandwiched between the hot water heater and the outer box. The base insert contacts the bottom surface of the hot water heater and a bottom inside surface of the outer box. The base insert includes raised perimeter structures that form a shape that matches a shape of the bottom surface of the hot water heater. Each side panel includes a raised pattern.

There is provided shipping container systems for bottles including an outer container and a two-part bottle retention insert system. The outer container receives the two-part retention system, including a tray including a pair of neck portion retention flaps and a pair of body portion retention flaps, wherein the neck portion and the body portion correspond to the neck and body portions of a bottle, and an insert, wherein the insert complements the tray, the insert including a shoulder tray for engaging with a bottle installed in the system, the shoulder tray for applying a retention force on the bottle to secure the bottle against a bottom of the tray, wherein the shoulder tray engages a cushion gap formed by the neck portion retention flaps and the body portion retention flaps resulting in a cushioning of the bottle in a length of the system.

Packaging with paper posts for securing accessories such as electronic adapters to packaging. Such packaging includes a base panel and a paper post. The paper extends from the base panel and includes two side walls and a top panel. The side walls couple to and extend away from the base panel. The top panel extends between and is joined to the two side walls along fold lines. The top panel is spaced away from the base panel by the side walls. The two side walls taper toward each other in a direction parallel to the base panel and in a direction perpendicular toward the base panel.

A packing member having a storage space formed by bending a single sheet material has a floor, a pair of side walls, and a pair of cushioning portions. The pair of side walls are formed by being bent upward from circumferential edges of the floor and are arranged opposite each other across the storage space in the first direction. The pair of cushioning portions are arranged opposite each other at opposite ends across the storage space in the second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The cushioning portion has a first cushioning portion formed in a shape of a plate extending along the second direction and a plate-form second cushioning portion arranged above the first cushioning portion at an interval from it, extending along the second direction, and formed in an inverted V-shape as viewed from the second direction.
