A package insert comprises: first and second members; and a band. The first and second members are coupled to the band, such that movement of the first member in a first direction drives the band to cause movement of the second member in a second direction. The first member comprises a primary portion and an attachment portion that is configured to detachably couple the primary portion to the band.

A method and apparatus are shown for securing a top for a cardboard carton where the carton has a bottom wall and integral sidewalls, an initially open interior and initially open top flaps with outwardly extending ears. The top flaps are folded to a carton closing position which closes off the initially open interior of the cardboard carton. The ears are also folded to a position in contact with the sidewalls of the carton. A set of punches are aligned with the folded ears of the carton and are actuated to force a first layer of cardboard from a respective top flap through an underlying region of the carton sidewall. A set of platens are located so as to underlie and reinforce the sidewalls of the carton as the punching operation takes place.

A machine to work a box-like element or similar includes a cutting unit to cut a strip-like element on a corresponding lying plane in a first substantially plane configuration; a loading unit with a thrust blade translatable in a first direction; a folding and insertion unit having a housing seating of the strip-like element that is directed substantially orthogonally to said lying plane, so that after translation of the thrust blade in said first direction the strip-like element is introduced into said housing seating, assumes a “U” shape and has flaps and a connection part; said folding and insertion unit being translatable in a second direction to at least partly insert said flaps in a slit in the box-like element; and an attachment unit of part of said flaps inside said box-like element on which the slit is made, so that the connection part protrudes from the box-like element.

A package system is provided. The package system comprises a carton having at least a first carton panel including a first tab having a first tab edge defined by internal walls of the first panel, a second carton panel opposing the first panel, and a third carton panel between the first carton panel and the second carton panel, the carton having a carton length that is defined as a first distance parallel to the third carton panel between the first carton panel and the second carton panel; and a drawer configured to slide into and out of an interior of the carton, the drawer having at least a first drawer panel opposing the first carton panel, a second drawer panel opposing the second carton panel, and a third drawer panel opposing the third carton panel, the third drawer panel adjoined between the first drawer panel and the second drawer panel.

A display carton includes a base tray having upstanding front, side and rear walls and a cover which is detachably connected to the base tray along lines of weakness. The cover includes an inner front wall positioned above the front wall of the base tray and an outer front wall which is provided by a distal end of a forwardly extending lid of the cover. The inner front wall comprises left and right portions which are connected together by a line of weakness. A bottom end of the outer front wall is tucked into a slot formed between a bottom edge of the inner front wall and a top edge of the front wall of the base tray.

A package includes a housing, a container, and a coupling system. The housing defines a first internal volume and includes first lateral walls that define a first through opening further defined by a first edge. The container defines a second internal volume and is configured for housing one or more products. The container includes second lateral walls that define a second through opening further defined by a second edge, the second through opening being configured to permit insertion and withdrawal of the one or more products from the container. The container is adjustable to a first configuration in which the container is at least partially disposed within the housing and a second configuration in which the container is at least partially disposed outside of the first internal volume. The coupling system is configured to secure the container to the housing.
