Provided is a crate coupleable to another crate or to a variety of carrying platforms. The crate having a base and side-walls upwardly extending from the base, of which at least two opposite side-walls are locking side-walls extending parallel to one another, each of the locking side-walls is configured at a top or a bottom surface thereof with at least one sliding locking slot extending parallel to said locking side-wall and defining a primary sliding path, the at least one sliding locking slot is configured with at least one arresting rib and an uncovered portion extending behind the at least one arresting rib, another one of the top or a bottom surface of the locking side-walls is configured with at least one locking tongue disposed parallel to said locking side-wall and configured for sliding arresting with a respective locking slot.

A method of packing a temperature sensitive product utilizes a temperature controlled product shipper that includes a phase change material bladder which can be filled with a preconditioned brined-slurry PCM at the point of packaging. The temperature sensitive product is contained within a product box or master case, which is in turn packed inside an insulated liner and an outer box. The PCM bladder fits between the master case and the insulated liner and is filled with the preconditioned flowable PCM at the point of packing just before closing the box for shipment.

A container assembly for receiving and storing a fluid includes a hollow container body and a hollow support trunk. The container body has an internal chamber for receiving and storing a fluid. The container body includes a front wall and an opposing back wall at least partially defining the internal chamber. The front wall includes an opening therethrough to allow the fluid to be received in the internal chamber. The support trunk is coupled to the opening in the front wall. The support trunk extends through the internal chamber and includes a distal end engaging the back wall. The support trunk provides support to the front wall and channels the fluid from the opening to the internal chamber.

A container having a center portion and two side portions each situated at an angle to the center portion and extending in opposite directions such that the a left half of the container is substantially identical to a right half of the container. The container includes recesses and protrusions which enable the container to stack in two orientations generally perpendicular to each other.

A tote and tote system providing for more efficient retail order pick-ups is disclosed. In certain embodiments, a tote may include a rear panel, a front panel, and a bottom panel for supporting one or more retail items. The tote may further include a first and a second side panel. The tote may further include one or more hand holds disposed upon one or more of the first panel, the second panel, the rear panel, and the front panel. The tote may further include one or more bale arms positioned across a top of the tote and an opening for accessing the one or more retail items of the tote. The one or more bale arms may extend from the first side panel to the second side panel.

A container that is adapted for use to contain multiple liquids. In an exemplary embodiment, a container may comprise at least a first container portion and a second container portion. Each container portion is adapted to contain a respective portion of liquid, wherein the liquid in each portion may be the same or a different liquid. In an exemplary embodiment, the first container portion and the second container portion are adapted to be connected together to form a unitary assembly. An exemplary embodiment may also allow for the first container portion to be separated from the second container portion to facilitate independent use of each portion.

A stackable liquid vessel may be able to receive, store, and dispense various liquids or fluids, such as beverages, cooking oil or vinegar, motor oil, and/or other appropriate materials or substances. Each stackable liquid vessel may be able to at least partially couple to at least one other stackable liquid vessel. An arrangement of stackable liquid vessels may utilize perforated slipsheets to reduce material usage when packing, shipping, storing, and/or displaying multiple stackable liquid vessels (e.g., a pallet of stackable vessels).

A coupling for assembling at least two beverage cans together, comprising at least a pair of collar portions, each to slidably receive a corresponding end region of one of the beverage cans, the collar portions being configured to engage the beverage cans for associated games and/or other amusement activities.

Bins that are capable of connecting to other bins to prevent relative lateral movement of connected bins and/or improved means for connecting bins. The bins can connect via the top, the bottom, or any other location.

A box for packaging core samples from rock drilling is provided, used in particular in the field of mineral sampling from geological exploration activities for subsequent analysis. The box is defined by a structure formed by a single body produced by injection molding of a thermoplastic material which includes female fittings and male fittings for laterally interlocking the boxes, closing and locking devices for the cover on the box, anatomical transport handles, openings and channels for draining liquid fractions and texturing for identifying the collected samples.
