Produce boxes and bags for shipping produce, e.g., bananas, utilize ventilation structures that allow for ventilation therethrough. A method of assembling produce boxes provides for cutouts that serve as ventilation structures in the boxes. When the produce boxes are stacked such as on a shipping pallet, the ventilation structures allow for ventilation of through the stacked boxes. Produce may be packed in a bag, which is closed with a rip cord and inserted into a produce box. The rip cord may be accessed when the box is in a stack such as on a shipping pallet, such that the rip cord may be pulled thereby opening the bag, without removing the box from the stack.

Packaging may include a base box and a lid having a tamper-evident seal. The tamper-evident seal may include a paper substrate having a first adhesive portion configured to attach to a side panel of the base box, a second adhesive portion configured to attach to a second side panel of the lid. The first and second adhesive portions may be disposed on opposing sides of the paper substrate, and a tab configured to be accessible on an exterior of a package when the tamper-evident seal is applied may be a part of the paper substrate. When the tab is pulled with sufficient force, the paper substrate tears such that the first adhesive portion and the second adhesive portion remain fixed to the first and second side panels, respectively, while the remainder of the paper substrate tears free so that the packaging may be opened.

A shipping assembly includes a folded core, made of corrugated carton or other foldable material, formed with a hollow center along the entirety or a portion of the core. A base at a bottom of the folded core is foldable along a folding line to attain a perpendicular position to the folded core. The base has two protrusions above the folding line. Upper and lower lateral members include two folded tabs which are inserted in upper and lower portions, respectively, of the column assembly to form a frame assembly. The frame assembly is affixed to an inner volume of a box.

A packaging box with improved strength in the vertical direction in a packing body housing a rolled product is provided. The packaging box comprises a lower case for forming a space for housing a rolled product, and an upper cover for sealing the space. The upper cover comprises a rectangular top board portion and a rectangular parallelepiped upper cover extending downward in the vertical Z direction from respective sides of the top board portion so as to cover almost all of the lower case. The upper cover is configured by a pair of narrow-width sideboard portions facing to each other in approximately parallel and a pair of wide-width sideboard portions facing to each other in approximately parallel, all formed to be integrated by a margin for sticking, and is provided to an end portion of at least one sideboard portion and superimposed on an inner surface on the space side of another sideboard portion to be connected. At a lower side of at least one sideboard portion, a cutout handle part is formed for lifting in the Z direction when unpacking. By holding the handle part and lifting, the packing body opens. The superimposed and fixed margin for sticking does not exist on an inner surface of a sideboard portion, where the handle part is formed.

A packaging box capable of improving unpacking performance in a packing body housing a rolled product is provided. The packaging box comprises a lower case for forming a space for housing a rolled product, which is a long material rolled around an axis in a longitudinal X direction, and an upper cover for sealing the space in the lower case. The upper cover comprises a rectangular top board portion for sealing the space in the lower case and a plurality of sideboard portions extending downward in the vertical Z direction from respective sides of the top board portion, and the plurality of sideboard portions cover approximately all of outer surfaces of the lower box body. At least one of the sideboard portions has a pair of perforations extending upward from a lower end thereof toward the top board portion. By cutting the perforations, a sideboard piece surrounded by the perforations and a lower side of the sideboard portion can be detached.

An example packaging system includes a first box part with a first lid wall, the first lid wall including an aperture. The packaging system also includes a latch slidably disposed within the aperture, the latch having a body portion that extends perpendicularly into the first box part, where the latch is slidable in a direction parallel to the first lid wall. The packaging system also includes a second box part having a first tray wall, the first tray wall including a channel sized to slidably receive the latch, the channel including an assembly channel segment and a locking channel segment. When the first box part and the second box part are fitted together, a) the assembly channel segment is aligned with the latch when the latch is in a first position within the aperture, and b) the latch is slidable within the locking channel segment to a second position.
