A blank for forming a box for serving pizza includes panels defined and separated by manufactured lines that, when folded, define a box having a first footprint for enclosing within the box an entire pizza and that, when folded differently with panels having been removed, define a second box having a second footprint for enclosing leftovers of the entire pizza, the second footprint being smaller than the first footprint. The second footprint preferably is approximately one half of the area of the first footprint for accommodating no more than half of the entire pizza.

A shelf-ready packaging (SRP) and method for transporting and displaying food products are provided, the SRP configured to be efficient in transporting a high number of the food products while also still being able to fit on a retail store shelf. To this end, the SRP includes a cover element and a base tray including first and second tray portions connected along a single tear line. To convert the SRP from a first transport configuration to a second display configuration, the cover element is lifted off the base tray and the first and second tray portions are separated along the tear line, which thereby changes the overall length of the SRP such that it can fit on the standard retail store shelf. The SRP provides a clean, uniform appearance when in the second display configuration while providing maximum visibility and access to the food products stored therein.

A carton for holding a plurality of articles. The carton can comprise a plurality of panels comprising a back panel, a first front panel positioned opposite to the back panel, and a second front panel positioned opposite to the back panel. The carton can comprise a first compartment comprising a first interior space for at least partially receiving at least a first article of the plurality of articles and a second compartment comprising a second interior space for at least partially receiving at least a second article of the plurality of articles. At least a portion of at least the back panel and the first front panel can extend at least partially around the first interior space of the first compartment. At least a portion of at least the back panel and the second front panel can extend at least partially around the second interior space of the second compartment.

A blank for forming a display ready case includes a front panel, a top panel, a rear panel, a bottom panel, and a bottom end panel arranged in a longitudinal direction and coupled together by a plurality of fold lines extending in a transverse direction. A first front side panel and a second front side panel extend from opposing sides of the front panel in the transverse direction. A front end panel extends from the front panel in the longitudinal direction, and a first front end side panel and a second front end side panel extend from opposing sides of the front end panel in the transverse direction. An access region separates the front panel from the front end panel. A line of weakness separates the first front side panel and the second front side panel from the first front end side panel and the second front end side panel.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a carrier in the form of a tray and to a blank for forming the carrier and to a method of assembling the carrier into a flat collapsible form. The carrier comprises a base wall, opposed side walls hingedly connected to opposed sides of the base wall, and opposed end walls hingedly connected to opposed ends of the base wall. Each of the end walls is coupled to each of the side walls by a corner structure. The corner structure comprises a first corner panel, a second corner panel and a web panel hingedly connected to each of the first and second corner panels. The web panel is disposed between first and second corner panels in face contacting relationship therewith. The web panel comprises a cutaway located distally from the base wall, such that the first corner panel is securable to the second corner panel.

A container for holding one or more articles includes a plurality of panels for extending at least partially around an interior of the container. The plurality of panels includes a front panel, a back panel, at least one side panel, a bottom panel, and a divider panel separably connected to a panel of the plurality of panels. The divider panel is pivotable relative to the panel of the plurality of panels to define a compartment in the interior of the container.

A container is disclosed with two lids, the first or outer lid can be torn off and discarded after a product is received by a recipient, such as a customer. Alternatively, the outer lid may be left in place with the container then being used as a return shipper with the outer lid remaining as part of the returned container.
