A blank for forming a tray, wherein the blank includes a first panel extending along a lateral axis configured to form an outer side of an erected tray and a second panel extending along the lateral axis coupled to the first panel by a fold line, the second panel being configured to form an inner side of the erected tray. Each of the first and second panels includes a base section, a first lateral section foldably coupled to the base section, a first end section foldably coupled to the first lateral section, a second lateral section foldably coupled to the base section, and a second end section foldably coupled to the second lateral section.

A carrier for holding at least one container includes a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carrier, the plurality of panels including a front panel, a back panel, at least one side panel, and at least one handle panel extending between the front panel and the back panel. The carrier further includes container retaining features for stabilizing the at least one container in the interior of the carrier, the container retaining features includes at least one container retention cut formed in an upper portion of at least one of the front panel and the back panel.

An ultraviolet (UV)-resistant roofing shingles plastic film, package, packaging roll, and methods are disclosed. The UV-resistant plastic film includes an inner surface to face roofing shingles and an outer surface. The plastic film has a UV inhibitor to obstruct UV light.

Aspects of the invention relate to a carton (90) for packaging one or more articles and a blank (10) for forming the carton (90). The carton (90) has a plurality of panels defining walls (12, 14, 16, 18, 20) of a chamber for receiving at least one article (A), the plurality of panels comprising a first panel (12) and a second panel (20) disposed in an overlapping relationship to form a first wall (12/20) of the carton (90), the carton (90) comprising a collapsible pocket (P) comprising a plurality of pocket walls including a front wall (30), opposing side walls (32, 34), a base wall (36) and a rear wall (20), at least one of plurality of pocket walls (30) being coupled to one (12) of the first and second panels (12, 20) by a frangible connection (29a).

A container carrier for unitizing a plurality of containers includes a plurality of outer bands and inner bands forming an array of container receiving apertures arranged in two or more transverse pairs. Each outer band of the plurality of outer bands forms a convex container engaging portion of each container receiving aperture. Each inner band of the plurality of inner bands forms a concave container engaging portion of each container receiving aperture. A central grasping aperture is positioned between each transverse pair of container receiving apertures and includes opposite radiused ends and a pair of radiused finger holds extending along each side. An oblong stress relief cutout is positioned along each inner band between each container receiving aperture and each central grasping aperture. The resulting geometry enables a rim applied carrier that is resistant to failure due to large temperature swings from ambient.

A carrier for holding a plurality of containers includes a central panel having a plurality of container retention openings for at least partially receiving a respective container of the plurality of containers, a plurality of container retention tabs positioned extending into respective container retention openings of the plurality of container retention openings, the plurality of container retention tabs positioned for engaging a respective container of the plurality of containers, at least one container retention tab of the plurality of container retention tabs foldably connected to the central panel at a fold line, and at least one deflection tab positioned extending away from the at least one container retention tab of the plurality of container retention tabs, the fold line intersecting a respective at least one deflection tab.
