    DETAILED DESCRIPTION

    [0037] Reference will now be made to the drawings wherein like reference numerals identify similar structural features or aspects of the subject disclosure. For purposes of explanation and illustration, and not limitation, an illustrative view of an embodiment of a blank for forming a container in accordance with the disclosure is shown in FIG. 1 and is designated generally by reference character 100. Other embodiments and/or aspects of this disclosure are shown in FIGS. 2-8.

    [0038] In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a blank 100 for forming a container 1000 can include a bottom panel 102, and an end panel 104 extending outwardly from a first edge 106 of the bottom panel at a first bottom panel fold line 108. The end panel 104 can include a stacking pillar panel 110 extending laterally from the first bottom panel fold line 106, an end roll over panel 112 extending laterally from a horizontal edge 114 of the stacking pillar panel 112 at a first stacking pillar panel fold line 118. A corner roll over panel 120 extends laterally from a first vertical edge 122 of the stacking pillar panel 112 at a first corner roll over fold line 124, a locking flap 126 extends laterally from a second vertical edge 128 of the stacking pillar panel 112 at a locking flap fold line 130, and retaining flap 132 extends from an inner edge 134 of the corner roll over panel 120 at a retaining flap fold line 136.

    [0039] The end roll over panel 104 includes a liner panel 138, an inner panel 140 and an outer panel 142, where a horizontal portion 144 of the stacking pillar panel 112 forms the outer panel 142 of the end roll over panel 104. The end roll over panel 104 is configured to roll over the horizontal portion 144 of the stacking pillar panel 112 (e.g., the outer panel 142 of the end roll over panel 104) at the first stacking pillar panel fold line 118 to form the inner panel 140 of the end roll over panel 104, and the liner panel 138 is configured fold at a first end roll over panel fold line 146 such that the liner panel 138 of the end roll over panel 104 lays flat on the bottom panel 102 in a set-up container 1000.

    [0040] The corner roll over panel 120 includes, from right to left in FIG. 1, a first inner panel 148, a second inner panel 150, a medial panel 152, a first outer panel 154, and a second outer panel 156 configured to roll over one another onto the stacking pillar panel 112 to form a corner stacking pillar 158 in the set-up container 1000. The second outer panel 156 can be a first vertical portion 160 of the stacking pillar panel 112. As shown, the constructed stacking pillar 158 can be triangular in shape. When the stacking pillar 158 is constructed, the first inner panel 148 lays flush on an inside surface 162 of the first outer panel 154 and the second inner panel 150 lays flush on an inner surface 164 of the second outer panel 156. The medial panel 152 can form a hypotenuse 166 of the stacking pillar 158 when the stacking pillar 158 is constructed, e.g., as shown in FIG. 3.

    [0041] A bottom edge 168 of the medial panel 152 of the corner roll over panel 120 can lay flush on the bottom panel 102 for an entire length of the bottom edge 168 of the medial panel 152 (e.g., the bottom edge 168 is flat and continuous along the bottom panel 102 for its entire length) to provide greater structural integrity under stacking weight. For example, the continuous edge 168 can prevent the corner stacking pillars 158 from crushing and/or folding or falling inwards towards the center of the container 1000.

    [0042] The locking flap 126 includes a locking tab 170 extending laterally from the locking flap 126 at a locking flap fold line 172 configured to lock the corner stacking pillar 158 together in the set-up container 1000, e.g., by inserting the locking flap 172 into a locking aperture 174 of the medial panel 152 of the corner roll over panel 120. The first outer panel 154 can include a stacking tab 176 extending laterally from a top edge 178 of the first outer panel 154 configured to be inserted into a stacking aperture 180 of another container 2000 stacked on top of the set-up container 1000. As shown in FIG. 4, for example, the stacking tab 176 can extend upwards in the set-up container 1000. In embodiments, the stacking tab 176 can be closer to an inner side corner 182 of the stacking pillar 158 than an outer corner 184 of the stacking pillar 158.

    [0043] As can be seen in FIGS. 5, the first inner panel 148 and the first outer panel 154 of the corner roll over panel 120 can form a first two ply side 186 of the constructed stacking pillar 158 and the second inner panel 150 and the second outer panel 156 of the corner roll over panel 120 can form a second two ply side 188 of the constructed stacking pillar 158 to reinforce a stacking strength of the constructed stacking pillar 158 relative to a direction of gravity. Further, as shown, the direction of the corrugation flutes can be orientated parallel to the direction of the stacking forces to provide stacking strength and reduce the risk of collapse of the stacking pillars 158 under the weight of additional containers.

    [0044] The retaining flap 132 extends from the inner edge 134 of the corner roll over panel 120 at the retaining flap fold line 136 and is separated from the first outer panel 154 by a cut line 190. The retaining flap 132 is configured to retain the corner stacking pillar 158 in an upright position in the set-up container 1000 by sandwiching the retaining panel 132 within a side roll over panel 201, e.g., as described further below. The retaining flap can also include finger cut outs 192 to assist a user in moving the retaining flaps to the extended position, e.g., as shown in FIGS. 1-3.

    [0045] The side roll over panel 201 extends outwardly from a second edge 203 of the bottom panel 102 at a second bottom panel fold line 205. The side roll 201 over panel includes a liner panel 207, an inner panel 209 and an outer panel 211, where the inner panel 209 extends between a first 213 and second 215 side roll over panel fold lines. The side roll over panel 201 is configured to roll over itself, were the outer panel 211 rolls up at the second bottom panel fold line 205 to an upright position, the inner panel 209 rolls over the outer panel at the first side roll over panel fold line 213, and the liner panel 207 rolls over the inner panel 209, folding at the second side roll over panel fold line 205, and over the retaining flap 132 of the corner roll over panel 120. The retaining panel 132 is thus sandwiched between the inner panel 209 and the outer panel 211 of the side roll over panel 201 in the set-up container 1000, and the liner panel 207 of the side roll over panel 201 lays flat on the bottom panel 102 in the set-up container 1000. A corner 217 of the liner panel 207 of the side roll over panel 201 abuts the liner panel 138 of the end roll over panel 112 in the set-up container 1000, for example, as shown in FIG. 7. In embodiments, the corner 217 of the liner panel 207 can be cut out to receive the corner 139 of the liner panel of the end roll over panel 112 in the set-up container so that the liner panels 138 and 207 can lock together.

    [0046] In embodiments, the bottom panel 102 can include a first locking aperture 219 and a second locking aperture 221 defined in the first edge 106 of the bottom panel 102, and the inner panel 140 of the end roll over panel 112 can include a first locking tab 223 and a second locking tab 225 configured to be inserted into the first locking aperture 219 and the second locking aperture 221, respectively, of the bottom panel 102 in the set-up container 1000. The bottom panel 102 can also include a third locking aperture 227 and a fourth locking aperture 229 defined in the second edge 203 of the bottom panel 102 and the inner panel 209 of the side roll over panel 201 can include a first locking tab 231 and a second locking tab 233 configured to be inserted into the third locking aperture 227 and the fourth locking aperture 229, respectively, of the bottom panel 102 in the set-up container 1000.

    [0047] In embodiments, the bottom panel 102 can further include a fifth locking aperture 235 and a sixth locking aperture 237 defined in the second edge 203 of the bottom panel configured to receive a respective stacking tab 276 of a second container 2000 when the set-up container 1000 is stacked atop the second container 2000.

    [0048] The corner roll over panel as described herein above can be a first roll over corner panel 120, and the end panel 104 can further include a second corner roll over panel extending laterally from a third vertical edge of the stacking pillar panel 110, a second locking flap 226 extending laterally from a fourth vertical edge 228 of the stacking pillar panel 110 configured to lock the second corner stacking pillar 258 together in the set-up container 1000, and a second retaining flap 232 extending laterally from an inner edge 234 of the second corner roll over panel 220 configured to retain the second corner stacking pillar 258 in an upright position in the set up container 1000.

    [0049] In embodiments, a second end panel 204 extending from a third edge 206 of the bottom panel 102 and can include a second stacking pillar panel 210, a second end roll over panel 212, and a third and 320 a fourth corner roll over panel 420. The respective portions and/or panels of the second end panel 204 can be the same or similar to that described with respect to the first end panel 104, and as such common elements already described with respect to the first end panel 104 are not repeated herein for the second end panel 204. Similarly, the blank 100 can include a second side roll over panel 501 extending from a fourth edge 503 of the bottom panel, and the second side roll over panel 501 can be similar to the first side roll over panel 201, thus common elements between the first and second side roll over panels 201, 501 already described for the first side roll over panel 201 are not repeated with respect to the second side roll over panel 501.

    [0050] In embodiments, each of the first 120, second 220, third 320, and fourth 420 corner roll over panels can include a respective: first inner panel 148, 248, 348, 448, second inner panel 150, 250, 350, 450, medial panel 152, 252, 352, 452, first outer panel, 154, 254, 354, 454, and second outer panel 156, 256, 356, 456. Each stacking pillar 158, 258, 358, 458 is held together by a respective locking flap 126, 226, 326, 426, and the end panels 104, 204 are held upright with respective retaining flaps 132, 232, 332, 432.

    [0051] In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, and as shown in FIGS. 7-8, a display container 1000 (e.g., a container for viewing product therein without deconstructing the container), can include a bottom wall 1002 configured to hold product 1051 within the container 1000. From the bottom wall 1102 extending upward, the container includes a first end wall 1104 having a first end panel 104 and a first 1158 and second stacking pillar 1058 and a second end wall 1204 having a second end panel and a third 1358 and fourth 1458 stacking pillar extending upward from the bottom wall 1102. Also extending upward from the bottom wall 1102, the container includes a first sidewall 1201 having a first side panel 1209 extending between the first stacking pillar 1158 and the fourth stacking pillar 1458, and a second sidewall 1501 having a second side panel 1509 extending between the second stacking pillar 1258 and the third stacking pillar 1358. The first end wall 1104, the second end wall 1204, the first sidewall 1201, and the second sidewall 1501 can form a product display space 1053 within the container 1000 and within the stacking pillars 1158, 1258, 1358, 1458. One or more portions of the container 1000, e.g., the stacking pillars 1158, 1258, 1358, 1458, the side walls 1201, 1508, the end walls 1104, 1204, and the bottom wall 1102 can be 2-ply reinforced to provide structural stacking support to be able to stack one or more additional containers 2000 atop the container 1000, e.g., as shown in FIG. 8.

    [0052] When stacked, the stacking pillars 1158, 1258, 1358, 1458 can form viewing windows therebetween to display product 1051 within the container 1000. This way, the product can be displayed on the shelves within the original containers 1000 and viewed from all sides, while the containers 1000, 2000 remain stacked, and without the need to deconstruct the container 1000.

    [0053] As shown in FIGS. 2-7, a folding sequence to erect the container 1000 from the blank 100 can be as follows. From the flat blank 100, e.g., as shown in FIG. 2, the stacking pillars 1158, 1258, 1358, 1458 are formed by rolling the corner roll over panels 120, 220, 320, 420, starting at the respective first inner panel 148, 248, 348, 448 and rolling inwards towards the respective stacking pillar panel 110, 210 so that the respective second inner panel 150, 250, 350, 450 lays flat on the inner surface of the stacking pillar panel 110, 210. As can be seen in FIG. 7, the first inner panel 148, 248, 348, 448 and the first outer panel 154, 254, 354, 454 can form a respective first two ply section 186, 286, 386, 486 of the respective stacking pillars 1158, 1258, 1358, 1458. The respective second inner panel 150, 250, 350, 450 and the respective second outer panel 156, 256, 356, 456 form a respective second two ply section of the respective stacking pillar 1158, 1258, 1358, 1458. The respective locking flaps 126, 226, 326, 426 are folded over the respective locking flap fold lines 130, 230, 330, 430 and the respective locking tab 170, 270, 370, 470 is inserted into the respective locking aperture 174, 274, 374, 474 of the medial panel of the stacking pillar. This forms an overlapping two-ply portion on the respective medial panels.

    [0054] As is seen in FIG. 3, once the corner roll over panels 120, 220, 320, 420 are rolled and the stacking pillars 1158, 1258, 1358, 1458 are formed, the retaining flaps 132, 232, 332, 432 extend upright, and are not rolled with the corner roll over panels 120, 220, 320, 420. The end panels 104, 204 are then folded upwards at the first bottom panel fold lines to erect the end walls 1104, 1204, into an upright position. Next, the end roll over panels 112, 212 are folded over the first end roll over panel fold line, and the respective locking tabs (e.g., 223, 225) of the inner panel of the end roll over panels are inserted into the respective first and second locking apertures (e.g., 219, 221) of the bottom panel 102. Then, the respective liner panel 138, 238 of the end roll over panels is placed onto the bottom panel 102. Locking the end roll over panels 112, 212 in place will retain the end panels in their upright position as the side walls 1201, 1501 are formed.

    [0055] After the first and second end walls 1104, 1204 are locked in place, the sidewalls 1201, 1501 can be formed from the side roll over panels 201, 501. First, the outer panel 211, 511 is folded upward at the second bottom panel fold lines 205, 505, and the inner panels 209, 509 are rolled over the first side roll over panel fold lines 213, 513 to lay against the inner surface of the respective outer panels 211, 511, and the respective locking tabs (e.g., 231, 233) are inserted into the respective third and fourth locking apertures (e.g., 227, 229) in the second edge 203 and fourth edge 503 of the bottom panel 102. While the side roll over panels 201, 501 are being rolled over, the retaining flaps 132, 232, 332, 432 of the now upright respective stacking pillars 1158, 1258, 1358, 1458 extend horizontally along the second and fourth bottom edges 203, 503 of the bottom panel 102. Thus, when the respective inner panel 209, 509 of the side roll over panel is rolled and locked into the bottom panel 102, the respective retaining flap is caught between the inner 209, 509 and outer panels 211, 511 of the side roll over panels 201, 501 and sandwiched therebetween, to add additional support for holding the stacking pillars upright 1158, 1258, 1358, 1458, beyond the locking tabs of the end roll over panel. This configuration and folding sequence allow for a single user to manually fold the blank into the container, and allows for doing so without any adhesive.

    [0056] As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, a blank 500 for constructing a container 5000, can be similar to that of blank 100 for constructing container 1000, for example blank 500 can have similar components and features, and may be erected in a similar manner to that described with respect to blank 100 and container 1000. For brevity, the description of common elements that have been described above are not repeated with respect to FIGS. 9 and 10. In blank 500, the stacking tabs can be define along the corners and can be two plies, effectively forming two stacking tabs 576a and 576b. For example, as shown with respect to corner roll over panel 520 in FIG. 9, a first portion of a first ply of the stacking tab 576a can be defined on the first inner panel 548 and a second portion of stacking tab 576a of the first ply can be defined on the second inner panel 550. A first portion of a second ply of the stacking tab 576b can be defined on the first outer 554 and a second portion of stacking tab 576b of the second ply can be defined on the second inner panel 556. As shown in FIG. 10, the stacking tab 576a forms the inner (first) ply while stacking tab 576b forms the outer (second) ply. While the stacking tabs 576a, 576b are described with respect to the corner roll over panel 520, it will be appreciated that each of the corner roll over panels and stacking pillars shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 can be the same as shown for corner roll over panel 520.

    [0057] Further, as seen in FIGS. 9 and 10, the outer panel 542 of the end roll over panel 504, and the outer panel 611 of the side roll over panel 601 each have a cut out portion forming a corner cut out 569. In the set up container 5000, the as shown in the corner roll over panel 520, the corner cut out 569 forms a single ply portion in the corner roll over panel 520 to accept a stacking tab 576a, 576b of a second set up container stacked below the container 5000. While the corner cut out 569 is described with respect only to one corner, e.g., as formed on the corner roll over panel 520 on the set up container 5000, it will be appreciated that each corner can include a corner cut out 569 as shown for corner roll over panel 520.

    [0058] Those having ordinary skill in the art understand that any numerical values disclosed herein can be exact values or can be values within a range. Further, any terms of approximation (e.g., about, approximately, around) used in this disclosure can mean the stated value within a range. For example, in certain embodiments, the range can be within (plus or minus) 20%, or within 10%, or within 5%, or within 2%, or within any other suitable percentage or number as appreciated by those having ordinary skill in the art (e.g., for known tolerance limits or error ranges).

    [0059] The articles a, an, and the as used herein and in the appended claims are used herein to refer to one or to more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. By way of example, an element means one element or more than one element.

    [0060] The phrase and/or, as used herein in the specification and in the claims, should be understood to mean either or both of the elements so conjoined, i.e., elements that are conjunctively present in some cases and disjunctively present in other cases. Multiple elements listed with and/or should be construed in the same fashion, i.e., one or more of the elements so conjoined. Other elements may optionally be present other than the elements specifically identified by the and/or clause, whether related or unrelated to those elements specifically identified. Thus, as a non-limiting example, a reference to A and/or B, when used in conjunction with open-ended language such as comprising can refer, in one embodiment, to A only (optionally including elements other than B); in another embodiment, to B only (optionally including elements other than A); in yet another embodiment, to both A and B (optionally including other elements); etc.

    [0061] As used herein in the specification and in the claims, or should be understood to have the same meaning as and/or as defined above. For example, when separating items in a list, or or and/or shall be interpreted as being inclusive, i.e., the inclusion of at least one, but also including more than one, of a number or list of elements, and, optionally, additional unlisted items. Only terms clearly indicated to the contrary, such as only one of or exactly one of, or, when used in the claims, consisting of, will refer to the inclusion of exactly one element of a number or list of elements. In general, the term or as used herein shall only be interpreted as indicating exclusive alternatives (i.e., one or the other but not both) when preceded by terms of exclusivity, such as either, one of, only one of, or exactly one of.

    [0062] Any suitable combination(s) of any disclosed embodiments and/or any suitable portion(s) thereof are contemplated herein as appreciated by those having ordinary skill in the art in view of this disclosure.

    [0063] The embodiments of the present disclosure, as described above and shown in the drawings, provide for improvement in the art to which they pertain. While the apparatus and methods of the subject disclosure have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that changes and/or modifications may be made thereto without departing from the scope of the subject disclosure.
