Techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a bag-in-box container including a plurality of panels, a plurality of lower flaps configured to enclose a bottom of the bag-in-box container, and a plurality of upper flaps configured to enclose a top of the bag-in-box container. The plurality of panels including a support panel, a side panel adjacent the support panel, a back panel adjacent the side panel, another side panel adjacent the back panel, and a front panel adjacent the side panel, wherein adjacent panels are connected with one another. The plurality of upper flaps comprises a side panel flap hingedly connected to the side panel and having an opening configured to receive a dosing cup. A plurality of legs are configured to be erectable from the plurality of lower flaps. A first line of weakness formed in the front panel, wherein the first line of weakness defines a severable portion that is configured to be removable; and a second line of weakness formed in the support panel, wherein the second line of weakness defines a pivotable portion that is configured to be hingedly connected to the bag-in-box container.

Bag-in-box container

A container includes a base panel. An opposed pair of end panels extends from the base panel at opposite ends of the base panel. A front panel extends from the base panel and extends from a first one of the end panels to a second one of the end panels. A back panel extends from the base panel and extends from the first one of the end panels to the second one of the end panels. The end panels taper so top edges of the front and back panels are either longer or shorter than bottom edges of the front and back panels. Each end panel includes a plurality of overlapping end flaps adhered to one another. The end flaps of each of the end panels are connected to a respective one of the base panel and each of the front and back panel at respective fold lines.

Tapered end containers

A container can include a plurality of side panels defining an interior space, and an inner partition member disposed at least partially within the interior space. The inner partition member can be configured to be at least partially conformal with the plurality of side panels in a first position, and to form one or more partitions dividing the interior space in at least a second position. In certain embodiments, only a portion of the inner partition member can be attached to an interior surface of the plurality of side panels such that the inner partition member can be configured to be moved between the first position and at least the second position.

Containers with selectable partitions

The invention provide a package system comprising: at least one secondary packaging container () holding at least one primary container ('B'); and a tertiary packaging carton () holding the at least one secondary packaging container (). The at least one secondary packaging container () is of the basket carrier style having an open-topped structure and comprises a base wall (); opposed first and second side walls (); opposed first and second end walls (); and a medial handle structure () connected to the first and second end walls () and disposed between the first and second side walls (). Additionally, at least one corner structure () is disposed between the first side wall () and the first end wall () of the secondary packaging container (). At least one corner structure () is also disposed between the first side wall and the first end wall of the tertiary packaging carton.

Basket style carrier, shipping carton and package system

A container includes a blank having a plurality of panels foldably connected to one another and erected about an interior space, and a plurality of top flaps foldably connected to the plurality of panels to enclose a top end of the interior space, and a plurality of bottom flaps wherein each of the bottom flaps is foldably connected to a corresponding panel of plurality of panels to enclose a bottom end of the interior space. The blank includes a line of weakness pattern configured to allow a user to break the top flaps from a closed configuration enclosing the interior space to an open configuration allowing access to the interior space.

Shippers with a constant depth

A container includes a first blank and a second blank. The first blank includes a plurality of panels foldably connected to one another and erected about an interior space, and a plurality of top flaps foldably connected to the plurality of panels to enclose a top end of the interior space. The second blank includes a bottom panel affixed to the first blank opposite the top flaps to enclose a bottom end of the interior space. The first blank includes a line of weakness pattern configured to allow a user to break the top flaps from a closed configuration enclosing the interior space to an open configuration allowing access to the interior space.

Shippers with variable depth

A blank of foldable sheet material for forming a container is provided. The blank includes a bottom panel, a top panel, and a set of vent panels configured to form at least one venting assembly positioned on the top panel of the container.

Blank and methods of constructing a ventilated container from the blank

A blank of sheet material for forming a container is provided. The blank of sheet material includes at least one major bottom panel, two opposing side panels, and two opposing end panels. Each end panel includes a plurality of fold lines that define two opposing side edges, a first minor end panel, a second minor end panel, and at least two reinforcement panels positioned between the two side edges. The at least two reinforcement panels are configured to move inwardly towards an interior cavity of the container forming a reinforcement structure when the container is formed.

Container with a reinforcement structure and method of forming the same

A blank of foldable sheet material for forming a container is provided. The blank includes a top panel, a front tuck flap extending from a front edge of the top panel, and a top side panel extending from a side edge of the top panel. The blank also includes a bottom panel, a front panel extending from a front edge of the bottom panel, and a corner portion. The corner portion includes a minor diagonal panel extending and a major diagonal panel. The corner portion also includes a corner panel hingedly connected to the minor and major diagonal panels. The front panel is configured to engage the front tuck flap to at least partially define a first releasably secure closure of the container, and the top side panel includes a front edge configured to engage the minor diagonal panel to at least partially define a second releasably secure closure of the container.

Blank and methods of constructing a container from the blank

A blank for forming a tray for shipping and displaying at least one product is provided. The blank includes a bottom panel, a pair of opposed side panels connected to the bottom panel, and at least one divider panel assembly connected to the bottom panel and one of the side panels. The at least one divider panel assembly includes a plurality of support slots configured to receive a portion of at least one of the containers to secure the container to the tray, to display the containers within the tray, and to enable individual access to each of the containers within the tray.

Shipping and display tray and blank for forming the same

A blank for forming a reinforced container is provided. The blank includes a bottom panel comprising opposing end edges, opposing side edges, and at least one miter edge connecting one of the end edges to an adjacent side edge of the opposing side edges. The blank further includes a pair of opposing end panels coupled to the bottom panel, a pair of opposing side panels coupled to the bottom panel, and a reinforcing panel assembly coupled to at least one of one of the end panels and one of the side panels for reinforcing a corner of the container.

Polygonal container having reinforced corner structures and blank for forming same

Embodiments of the present invention provide a carrier that is designed to hold a plurality of beverages, such as but not limited to cans or bottles. In some embodiments, the carrier is designed to also serve as a cooler. For example, the cans or bottles may be loaded into the carrier when the top is opened. Due to the shape and/or configuration of the carrier, the carrier has ample room for not only the beverages, but also ice when in the opened position. As such, the carrier is configured to be a one-time or multi-use cooler.
