A fastener is configured to fix a pair of opposing flaps of a box in a closed state. The fastener includes a receiving part, a pressing part opposing the receiving part, a linking part interposed between the receiving part and the pressing part, spaces on both sides of the linking part between the receiving part and the pressing part constituting insertion areas into which the flaps of the box are to be inserted, and a cutter part on the receiving part, the pressing part, or the linking part.

A flat panel cardboard packaging for protecting a flat panel (FP) comprises a base part (2), first and second side walls (6, 10) extending along parallel first and second sides of the base part (2), at least a first lid part (14, 18) adapted for covering the flat panel (FP) placed on the base part (2) between the side walls (6), and at least a first cushioning part (24). The first side wall (6) is supported at a first angle (α1), which is different from 0° to a plane perpendicular to the base part (2), to form a first side deformation zone. The first cushioning part (24) comprises 10 an outer gable portion (28) and an inner gable portion (30) which is arranged at a free inner distance (IS) from the outer gable portion (28), thereby forming an end deformation zone between the outer and inner gable portions (28, 30).

A mobile waste storage device is disclosed. The mobile waste storage device includes a storage body and a pair of cover sections. The storage body includes a waste receiving space and a plurality of body fastener receiving passageways. The pair of cover sections is flexibly attached to the storage body and is extendable over each other when covering the waste receiving space. Each cover section includes a cover fastener receiving passageway extending through an end thereof and positioned to correspond with another cover fastener receiving passageway extending through an opposite cover section and one of the plurality of body fastener receiving passageways when the pair of cover sections overlap to cover the waste receiving space.

A fastener for fixing a pair of opposing flaps of a box in a closed state includes a receiving part extending along a first direction, with a flap abutting part configured to abut surfaces of the flaps being arranged on at least one side of the receiving part, the flap abutting part constituting a tab part for which at least a portion is curvable or bendable upward, a linking part having a rod shape and extending from a center portion of the receiving part, and a pressing part having a rod shaped that extends outwardly from an end of the linking part along the first direction, the pressing part being configured to be inserted into a gap at a juncture of the flaps so that spaces on both sides of the linking part between the receiving part and the pressing part constitute insertion areas into which the flaps are inserted.

A method for using a mobile waste storage device is provided. First, a self-propelled storage device with a mobile waste storage device is provided and includes a storage body having a waste receiving space and a plurality of body fastener receiving passageways and a pair of cover sections flexibly attached to the storage body and extending over each other when covering the waste receiving space, each cover section having a cover fastener receiving passageway extending through an end thereof and positioned to correspond with another cover fastener receiving passageway extending through an opposite cover section and one of the plurality of body fastener receiving passageways when the pair of cover sections overlap to cover the waste receiving space. Then, the waste receiving space is filled and the pair of cover sections are secured using a fastener extending through cover fastener receiving passageway, the another cover fastener receiving passageway, and one of the plurality of body fastener receiving passageways. The pair of cover sections to the storage body are fastened using a plurality of fasteners and positioned on the self-propelled storage device to be moved to a location for pick up.

A meal packaging and presentation system includes a base, a front panel connected to the base at a low front edge seam, a first side panel connected to the base at a first low side edge seam, a second side panel connected to the base at a second low side edge seam, a rear panel connected to the base at a low rear edge seam, a first top flap connected to the first side panel at a first top side edge seam, a second top flap connected to the second side panel at a second top side edge seam, a front top flap connected to the front panel at a top front edge seam, and a rear top flap that connects to the rear panel at a top rear edge. An interior meal chamber is formed between the base, the front panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, the rear panel, the first top flap, and the second top flap when the system is in a closed state. The system is configured to transition between the closed state and an opened presentation state through manipulation of the front panel, the first side panel, the second panel, the rear panel, the first top flap, the second top flap, the front top flap, and the rear top flap.
