Portable display containers with spine and cross supports, methods of making portable display containers with spine and cross supports, and methods of using containers with spine and cross supports. The portable display containers have a plurality of tiers, each tier having a base tray, at least one spine, and two or more cross supports that add strength and rigidity to the display, allowing the portable display containers to be fully loaded with product or items prior to transportation and/or shipment to the display location.

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 carton for holding a plurality of containers, the carton includes a top retainer having a top panel and at least one top end flap foldably connected to the top panel. The top panel includes at least one retaining portion having at least one receptacle for retaining at least one container of the plurality of containers, and the at least one retaining portion is removable from the carton. The carton further includes a tray having a bottom panel and at least one bottom end flap foldably connected to the bottom panel. The at least one top end flap and the at least one bottom end flap cooperate to form a closed end of the carton.

The present invention relates to a device and a method (1) for applying gripping handles (M) on packaging films (P), preferably heat shrinkable, that are being supplied on shrinkwrappers (2) for making bundles (F) of food containers (C). The device (1) comprises: an application head (10) provided with an application roller (11) for applying a plurality of handles (M) supplied in the form of a continuous web (12) and subsequently cut into portions, each handle (M) having adhesive ends (E) for engagement with the corresponding film (P); an abutment mechanism (14) for supporting a plurality of films (P) supplied in the form of a continuous web (5) and subsequently cut into portions, the roller (11) of the head (10) and the abutment mechanism (14) being relatively movable between a non-operating condition, in which they are not engaged, and an operating condition in which the roller (11) of the head (10) is arranged at the abutment mechanism (14), against one of the films (P) being supplied in order to apply on the latter a respective handle (M) being supplied. The roller (11) of the head (10) is motorized and is independently controllable with respect to the feeding of the films (P) being supplied.
