A flat cardboard blank forms tubular envelope type packaging for a pack of jars. The blank extends substantially along a plane formed by a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, where the plane further defines a packaging axis substantially perpendicular to the plane. The blank includes: tubular-blank panels including at least one top panel, two lateral panels, a base panel, a unit for securely attaching for closing the expanded blank on itself; cut lines, slot lines and score lines between the tubular-blank panels for folding the tubular-blank panels, expanding the blank and shaping the packaging of the pack; and a spacing/bracing part connected to the tubular-blank panels by cut lines, detachable from the tubular-blank panels when the packaging of the pack is shaped for being arranged and expanded into the bracing spacer and forming bracing walls of the braced jars on the lateral walls.

A carton for holding a plurality of articles in at least a first layer and a second layer. The carton can include a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carton. The plurality of panels can include at least a bottom panel, a side panel, and a top panel. The carton further can include a divider for at least partially extending between the first layer and the second layer of the plurality of articles. The divider can at least partially define a first modular section of the carton and a second modular section of the carton. The first modular section can include the top panel, an upper portion of the side panel, and the divider. The second modular section can include the bottom panel and a lower portion of the side panel. The first modular section can be at least partially separable from the second modular section.

A carton includes an outer shell (102) defining an interior space with upper and lower tiers. A divider (120) is disposed at least in part in the outer shell dividing between the upper and lower tiers. A tear strip (118) defined in the outer shell operatively connecting an upper portion of the outer shell to a lower portion thereof. The upper portion defines a six-sided structure, a bottom side of which includes the divider. The upper portion is configured to be removed from the lower portion by lifting the upper portion after the tear strip is activated.

Carton blanks and cartons having a tear strip dispensing feature defined thereon are described herein. The tear strip dispensing feature allows a first portion of the carton to be removed from a second portion of the carton. The first portion of the carton includes a carrying handle allowing the first portion to function as a smaller, standalone carton. The second portion of the carton is operative to function as a dispensing tray. Both the first portion and the second portion of the carton may fit into a relatively small space, such as, for example, the space between shelves in a refrigerator.

A sustainable packaging apparatus comprising repurposable components is disclosed. A sustainable packaging apparatus having a cellular structure, comprised of a plurality of compartments, provides packaging for the shipment of objects such as beverage canisters. The plurality of compartments can each be separated into vessel portions. The two vessel portions of the compartments are designed to function as vessels after the objects are removed from the compartments. The vessel portions of the sustainable packaging apparatus are ideal for use as cups or game pieces; thus, the vessel portions maintain utility after shipment of the objects.

The plurality of panels can comprise at least a bottom panel, a side panel, and a top panel. The carton further can include a divider for at least partially extending between the first layer and the second layer of the plurality of articles. The divider can at least partially define a first modular section of the carton and a second modular section of the carton. The first modular section can comprise the top panel, an upper portion of the side panel, and the divider. The second modular section can comprise the bottom panel and a lower portion of the side panel. The first modular section can be at least partially separable from the second modular section.
