A method for shipping goods in a transport container includes positioning a first pallet in the transport container, the first pallet having a first underdeck opening to a first storage volume under a top deck having goods thereon; storing goods within a first underdeck container; after the step of storing and the step of positioning, receiving the first underdeck container at least partially within the first storage volume; and after the step of receiving, shipping the transport container.

A container assembly for holding containers filled with different items, such as food and cocktail garnishes is disclosed. The container assembly includes a support structure to support a plurality of removable containers. The containers are closed by a cover and sealed by perimeter seals. In illustrated embodiments, the cover includes a plurality of raised or dome shaped portions to provide interior head room for content in the containers. In embodiments described, the perimeter seals are formed of a gasket layer or bands and the support structure includes a support tray and container box.

A portable container and container assembly provides a durable, functional and simple carry-all solution for dry and wet provisions, goods and gear. Exemplary features of various embodiments include one or more of an overmolded pad on the bottom of the container, a removable handle incorporating a releasable retaining structure, a lid that seals within the container cavity and is flush with the outer periphery of the container sidewall and/or has a cellular internal reinforcing structure, a skirt extending around the sidewall that is integral with handle mounts for the handle and/or provides a connection point for external components, and a drop-in tray with a collapsible handle.

A container is disclosed that includes an outer shell with an opening. A receptacle can be insertable through the opening of the outer shell, the receptacle configured to receive contents of the container. A flexible substrate can be releasably sealed to the receptacle. The flexible substrate can include a first edge, a second edge opposite the first edge, and one or more anchors positioned on or adjacent the second edge. Each of the one or more anchors are configured, upon unpeeling an inner side of the flexible substrate from the receptacle, to remain adhered to the receptacle

An expandable triangular pizza storage container with a set of microwaveable triangular trays for the separation, microwaving and serving of individual slices of pizza. The storage container has a series of concentric triangular compartments that are expanded from a flexible polymer, accordion-style container body. The lid also has a triangular configuration with a replaceable compressible gasket, a set of four locking wings extending from each side that frictionally engage a rigid triangular top ring of the container body, and a central vent. The trays may incorporate uniform concave pockets to facilitate crisping of the pizza crust in the microwave and be of a solid or cored design, of microwave and dishwasher friendly material.

An ovenable cooking apparatus for facilitating the cooking of food components while maintaining the separateness thereof may include a first container for holding a first food component, and a second container for holding a second food component. The separation of the first food component from the second food component maintains the surface area for the first and second food components to facilitate heating of the first and second food components. The first food component may have a liquid based content for producing steam when heated, and one or both of the first container and the second container may define a passage for providing airflow and steam flow for contacting the second container and/or the second foodstuff and heating or steaming the second food component. Additionally, the second container may be steam impermeable for cooking bread and the like.

An organizer system for an ice cooler, ice chest or the like includes multiple trays of different heights that can be supported within a body of the ice cooler. The trays having different heights define multiple height compartments within the ice cooler, thereby enable different items such as cans, bottles, etc., to be stored with enhanced space efficiency. The trays each have dividing walls that define handles thereby enabling the trays to be removed from the ice cooler. The trays may be supported by a shelf within the ice cooler, or by an additional insert provided in the cooler. The insert may have sidewalls that abut the walls of the ice cooler. Cutouts may be provided in the insert sidewalls to enable drainage. The trays may also have openings for allowing cool air to circulate and to allow liquids to drain out of the trays. The openings may be positioned on the walls, bottom or both.

A container is disclosed that has a base and a lid that is rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration. The lid may be secured to the base with a latch assembly. A latch assembly may have a locked position and an unlocked position, where the latch assembly includes: a latch body pivotally connected to the lid, a latch button slidably connected with the latch body, the latch button having a latch button-locking member, a latch-locking arm pivotally connected to the latch body, and a latch-locking arm biasing member that exerts a rotational force on the latch-locking arm. When the latch assembly is moved to the locked position, the latch-locking arm may engage the base and rotate against the rotational force from the latch-locking arm causing the latch button to move against the linear force until the latch button-locking member engages the arm-locking member.

The present invention relates to a box insert and a box system that uses said box insert. The box insert may have an insert bottom and four insert side walls extending from the insert bottom. A flap may extend from each insert side wall. Each flap may have a first panel connected to its respective insert side wall by a first score line, a second panel connected to the first panel by a second score line, and a third panel connected to the second panel by a second score line. The box insert may be configured inside of a box whereby one of the score lines of each flap is folded over a box edge to suspend the box insert inside of the box. A box lid may be configured over the box insert to help secure the box insert to the box.

A container having a base and a lid is provided. The lid may be rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration and may be secured, via one or more latching assemblies. The latching assembly may comprise a latch body, a locking member, a biasing member, and an activating member. Additional features of the container may include handles and strength increasing features. The base and lid may also feature attachment points for various accessories. A carry strap may attach to the base of the container to allow a user to lift and carry the container.
