The disclosed systems and methods relate to improved tamper-proof cases for securely storing and shipping products. A case can include a back panel, two sidewalls, an upper foldable section, and a lower foldable section. The features of the case can be manufactured on a single sheet of material. The upper and lower foldable sections include panels having apertures for holding the top and bottom of a product, respectively. The upper foldable section includes one or more fasteners that secures the upper foldable section to the sidewalls. Once secured, the products cannot be removed from the case without showing evidence of the removal. The case systems can also include one or more inserts, for example an upper insert and a lower insert, to provide additional structural support to the case and protection for the products stored therein.

A method of forming a box from a box blank can include folding a first dividing wing of the box blank relative to a first side subpanel of the box blank about an inner hinge, the inner hinge coupling the first dividing wing to the first side subpanel, the first side subpanel coupled to a first main panel of the box by a first side hinge, the first main panel coupled to a bottom panel of the box by a first main hinge, the bottom panel coupled to a second main panel of the box by a second main hinge, a second side subpanel coupled to the second main panel by a second side hinge, a second dividing wing coupled to the second side subpanel by a second inner hinge; and coupling a first portion of the first dividing wing to the first main panel.

A box can include a container portion, the container portion defining a top end and a bottom end, the container portion defining a cavity, the container portion including a main panel; and a side panel including a first side subpanel and a second side subpanel, the first side subpanel hingedly coupled to the main panel; and a dividing portion disposed within the cavity, the dividing portion defining a plurality of cells within the cavity, the dividing portion including a first dividing wing coupled to the first side subpanel; and a second dividing wing coupled to the second side subpanel.

A box includes a container portion, the container portion defining a top end and a bottom end, the container portion defining a cavity; a telescoping portion attached to the top end of the container portion, the telescoping portion selectively reconfigurable about and between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration, a portion of the telescoping portion being positioned within the cavity in the retracted configuration, the telescoping portion disposed external to the cavity in the extended configuration; and a dividing portion disposed within the cavity, the dividing portion defining a plurality of cells within the cavity.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a carton for packaging one or more articles. The carton comprises a side wall and a top portion formed in part by a top wall panel and an upper end closure panel hinged to the top wall panel along a first end edge thereof. A carrying handle is defined in the top portion. A gusset panel is hinged to the upper end closure panel along a first side edge. An anchor panel is hinged to the gusset panel and to the side wall. The anchor panel is folded into a face to face relationship with the side panel so as to secure the upper end closure panel in a closed condition. A handle-reinforcing structure is disposed at least in part about the carrying handle. The handle-reinforcing structure is coupled to the anchor panel by two or more connecting panels.

A basket-type carrier formed from a single blank (1) of foldable sheet material. The carrier (4) comprises a pair of handle panels (10, 60), a pair of bottom panels (20, 70), a pair of bottom reinforcement panels (15, 65), a front panel (30), a back panel (80), side panels (31, 32, 33, 34, 81, 82, 83, 84), side reinforcement panels (21, 22, 71, 72), side flaps (35, 36, 85, 86), interior partition panels (37, 38, 87, 88), and interior partition attachment flaps (39, 89). The carrier is collapsed and expanded by means of an umbrella-type mechanism wherein side flaps (35, 36, 85, 86) connected to side panels (32, 34, 82, 84) and to interior partition panels (37, 87) slide up and down between the handle panels (10, 60). This positions front, back, side, and bottom panels in either the collapsed position with these panels folded against the handle panels, flattening the carrier for storage, or in the expanded position with these panels pulled away from the handle panels, expanding the carrier to receive articles.

A bundle of a stack of at least two consumer products is disclosed. The stack has opposite front and back faces spaced apart in a depth dimension, opposite top and bottom faces spaced apart in a height dimension, and opposite first and second end faces spaced apart in a length dimension. The bundle has a dual-cap bundling member that has a first end-cap that cups the stack at the first end-face, a second end-cap that cups the stack at the second end-face, and a bridge that integrally connects the first and second end-caps and that is superposed over the top face. The dual-cap bundling member is formed from a rigid substrate. The first end-cap and the second end-cap are not connected to each other via the rigid substrate other than by the bridge.
