A product dispenser formed from a plurality of blanks of sheet material. The product dispenser includes a storage portion and a base dispenser portion each formed from at least one folded blank of sheet material. The storage portion includes an interior configured to hold a quantity of products therein. The base dispenser portion is coupled to the storage portion, and the base dispenser portion includes a receptacle in selective communication with the interior. An actuating mechanism is configured to translate the storage portion relative to the base dispenser portion. The products are restricted from being dispensed to the receptacle when the storage portion is in a first operating position, and the products are dispensable to the receptacle when the storage portion is in a second operating position.

An insert for a flow wrapped packaging assembly has a bottom wall (18) and a peripheral wall (20) extending from said bottom wall to define an interior volume (21) for containing product (14). The insert has a tongue (20) at a top end of the peripheral wall which is movable between a closed position in which it at least partially closes the interior volume at the top end of the insert and an open position in which it does not impede access to the interior volume. The insert (12) can be top-filled when upright with the tongue open and then moved to a horizontal orientation for flow wrapping using a HFFS process with the tongue closed to prevent the contents spilling out. The insert is particularly suitable for enabling a plurality of disc-shape products, such as beverage pads, to be flow wrapped using HFFS processes.

A paper-based or paperboard-based container (100) for holding a pourable food product is described, the container comprising: a substantially planar bottom portion; a top portion arranged opposite the bottom portion and comprising a top panel and a top sealing region (126) forming a top seal of the container; and a wall portion extending between the bottom portion and the top portion and comprising a plurality of wall sections (108b, 108c) bordering the top panel and a longitudinal sealing band (14) extending between the bottom portion and the top portion and over at least one of the wall sections, wherein the top sealing region is folded onto said at least one of the wall sections comprising the longitudinal sealing band (14) and being attached thereto. A blank and a sleeve for producing the container is also described, as is a method for producing the container.

A dual compartment box formed from a blank having a front panel, a first minor side panel, a rear panel, a second minor side panel, a second compartment front panel, a compartment minor side panel, and an inner tab. There is a first slide and a second slide extending from a first compartment, top flap and a second compartment top flap, respectively, and they are movable between an upright semi-open position permitting product to dispense through the apertures and a downward closed position blocking the apertures. When the blank is folded, two compartments are formed, and an outer tab top flap and a minor side top flap overlap each other and the projecting portions of both the outer tab top flap and the minor side top flap form a center stop member that interacts with the slides to prevent them from becoming disengaged with the package.

A packaging material for the formation of packaging containers comprising at least a base layer having a hole and at least one separation element covering the hole. The hole extends within a plane being defined by a longitudinal axis and a transversal axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. An imaginary longitudinal line parallel to the first longitudinal axis and an imaginary transversal line parallel to the transversal axis mutually intersect at a center point of the hole. A first maximum extension of the hole along the imaginary longitudinal line is larger than a second maximum extension of the hole along the imaginary transversal line. The hole is asymmetric with respect to the imaginary transversal line.

A multiple package of packs of sheet products includes a box, inside which the packs of sheet products are accommodated. The box is formed by a folded laminar material. A first portion of the laminar material delimited by first pre-cut lines is adapted to form a first dispenser for at least one of said packs of sheet products. The first dispenser is obtainable by detaching the first portion of laminar material from the box along the first pre-cut lines and folding it along respective fold lines.

A secure box is for storing a product. The box has a generally tubular sleeve defining a through passage, a planar divider extending across said passage, a belt member extending around said divider, a tab member extending into said passage, and a tray member extending into said passage. The tab member is attached to the belt member and has a first gripping portion. The tray member is attached to the belt member and has a first push area and a first space for storing a product. The sleeve has a first main panel, a second main panel and two side panels each connecting the first and second main panels. The box is configured to move from a closed position, through a first partially open position to a first open position.

The method includes a blank with a lid and a top wall respectively connected to a first side and a second side of a bottom wall, a first sidewall connected to a first end of the bottom wall, and a ramp panel connected to the first sidewall along a first edge of the first sidewall, the method including first folding the ramp panel so that a second end of the ramp panel contacts the bottom wall, second folding the top wall into a first closed position over the bottom wall to at least partially form a package, the top wall defining an opening, at least part of the ramp panel and the first edge being viewable through the opening when the top wall is in the closed position, the lid in a second closed position at least partially covering the opening.

A personal care dispenser with an outer shell defining an opening at a first end. A lid mounted to the first end. The lid having an open position and a closed position. A dispenser sleeve slidably positioned within the opening. The dispenser sleeve having a base at a first end of the dispenser sleeve and a pull tab at a second opposing end of the dispenser sleeve.
