A method for producing packaging comprises providing the shell part that defines an opening, a cavity at least partially formed by a bottom wall and side walls, and a continuously circumferential lower contact surface at a constant height around the opening of the cavity and providing a collar including the circumferential edge flange. At least one bottom tool is structured to comprise aa lower contact surface and a cavity configured to receive the shell part. At least one top tool is structured to comprise an upper contact surface. The shell part is inserted into the cavity of the at least one bottom tool and the collar is placed on the lower contact surface. A barrier film is placed over the edge flange and pressed to form a tray that is filled with goods. A sealing film is then pressed against the barrier film to seal the goods within the tray.

A storage basket, including a side frame and a bottom plate arranged at the bottom of the side frame. The side frame and the bottom plate are of an integrated structure or split-type structures. An outer edge of the top of the side frame is provided with an outer frame; gaps are formed in all bends of the outer frame; corner protectors are wrapped on all the bends of the side frame; and the top of each corner protector has a bent portion that is bent towards the inner side of the side frame or the outer side of the side frame and covers the gap. The outer frame at the top of the storage basket deforms or breaks when the storage basket is made into a taper. The storage basket has high qualification rate, high production efficiency and attractive appearance.

Illustrative embodiments of systems and methods for protecting delivered packages from being stolen are disclosed. The invention described a portable drop box in which to place a delivered package that is weather-proof box and which has sides, a bottom, and a top that includes a lid for easy access to the contents of the box. The box is further collapsible or foldable for easy storage.

A collapsible security container is disclosed. The collapsible security container comprises a collapsible box and a hinged-lid connected to the collapsible box. The collapsible box comprises a bottom panel: a front panel, a left side panel, a right side panel and a back panel connected to the bottom panel by fold lines along respective edges of the bottom panel, wherein the bottom panel, front panel, left side panel, right side panel and back panel define an interior compartment. A locking system secures the hinged-lid to the collapsible box. A strap is attached to the collapsible box. The strap has an attachment end that is attached to the collapsible box and a free end that terminates in a fastener or stopper for securing the security container about or to a structure such as a door or wall.

A crate assembly for storing one or more items. The crate has a bottom face and a plurality of side faces, wherein the bottom face comprises a plurality of slat assemblies installed onto the bottom rail assemblies and each side face comprises a plurality of slat assemblies installed onto a pair of corner rail assemblies. In one embodiment, the crate includes a plurality of slats with each slat having a cap on each end making a slat assembly with the cap having a channel adapted to slide the slat along a rail, a plurality of corner rail assemblies each defining a corner of the crate assembly with each corner rail assembly including a vertical rail adapted for receiving the cap of a slat assembly; and a plurality of bottom rail assemblies. Each bottom rail assembly has one end connected to a bottom end of one corner rail assembly and an opposing end connected to a bottom end of another corner rail assembly.
