A blank for forming a tamper evident container includes a plurality of panels connected together at fold lines configured for extending at least partially around an interior space, including a first side panel, a top panel, a second side panel and a bottom panel. A bottom flap is foldably connected to an edge of the bottom panel on the first end of the blank. A top flap is foldably connected to an edge of the top panel on the first end of the blank. The bottom flap includes a major flap and a minor flap, the major flap connecting between the bottom panel and the minor flap. The top flap includes a catch point feature and wherein the minor flap includes a trap aperture configured to catch the catch point feature of the top flap when opening a container constructed from the blank to provide a tamper evident access feature.

Tamper evident tuck end containers

A blank for forming a tamper evident container includes a plurality of panels connected together at fold lines configured for extending at least partially around an interior space, including a first side panel, a top panel, a second side panel and a bottom panel. A bottom flap is foldably connected to an edge of the bottom panel on the first end of the blank. A top flap is foldably connected to an edge of the top panel on the first end of the blank. The top flap includes a major flap and a minor flap. The major flap connects between the top panel and the minor flap. The major flap includes a tamper evident access feature.

A housing module () for use with a smart package () has a main body suitable for having an electronic device () affixed thereto. The main body includes one or more retention wings () extending from the main body. The one or more retention wings are sized and configured for co-operation with a slot () associated with the smart package () such that the housing module () is retainable substantially within the smart package (). The one or more retention wings () are shaped, sized and configured to co-operate with an end-stop of the slot () for locating the housing module () within the smart package ().

Smart dispensing packaging system

A package made from sheet material has a sealable coating on a first surface. The package has a plurality of panels, folded so that at least two side panels are able to be closed in an overlapping arrangement so that the two side panels are sealed together with the first surface and sealable coating in facing relationship.

Package made from sheet material

A package includes an outer container and an inner receptacle. The outer container forming a cavity for the inner receptacle having an open or openable end through which the inner receptacle can be inserted. The package includes a two-part locking mechanism for locking the inner receptacle within the cavity of the outer container. The outer container includes a first part of the two-part locking mechanism and the inner receptacle includes a second part of the two-part locking mechanism. The outer container includes at least one demarcated pressing zone, wherein the at least one demarcated pressing zone is configured and/or stylised and/or shaped and/or arranged to encourage a user to apply a force directed inwardly of the outer container toward the cavity for deactivating the locking mechanism to thereby release the inner receptacle for its withdrawal at least partially from the outer container.

Packaging

A dispensing container () for housing and sequentially dispensing packets () is taught. Also taught are the carton blanks () for erecting the respective containers. A length of packets created by severably attaching sequential packets () along respective tear lines () is rolled or folded then positioned within the container for later dispensing. Child-resistance features that impede removal of each packet () include routing the length of packets between opposing panels () or between opposing panels and an edge of folded panels () that exert a lateral pressure on the packets (). In some embodiments the panels () include apertures () that catch or otherwise engage a feature of a packet, such as a blister, to further impede removal of each packet (). To further impede removal of a packet (), access notches () that allow the user to grasp the packet are narrowly constructed.

Packet dispenser

A packaging blank includes a first panel and a second panel. The first panel defines at least one blister aperture and at least one tool portion. The second panel defines at least one tab strip and at least one tool access portion. The at least one tab strip is at least partially severable from the packaging blank. The at least one tool access portion is substantially completely severable from the packaging blank. The first panel and the second panel are configured to be positioned relative to one another in a face contacting arrangement such that a first portion of a given tool portion is to be operably aligned with a corresponding tool access portion. As such, the first portion of the given tool portion thereby is capable of being accessed by a tool via the corresponding tool access portion.

Child resistant blister package housing with tooled access

A carton for packaging articles, having at least one supplemental information panel hingedly connected to one of the wall panels. The supplemental information panel is disposed inside the carton and can be withdrawn through an access port formed in one of the wall panels.

Carton with supplemental information panel

A carton for packaging articles, having at least one supplemental information panel hingedly connected to one of the wall panels. The supplemental information panel is disposed inside the carton and can be withdrawn through an end of the carton.

The present invention provides a solution with a releasable, childproof container that is particularly suited for ammunition and other hazardous items. The container has a cover and body. The container body includes, preferably in two opposing side walls, a resilient leaf, which is preferably biased slightly outward. The resilient leaf is adapted to pivot inwardly and outwardly within an opening in a side wall. The container cover includes stops mounted on an inner surface of the body side walls and aligned with the cover side wall having the resilient leaf. Adjacent to and above the stop is a release panel, which is also capable of pivoting inwardly and outwardly relative to the container.

Tamper resistant container

A package for containing both longer and shorter components and being transformable into a secondary package for carrying the shorter components. The package includes a unitary, tubular base carton having first and second ends and a first length extending between the first and second ends. A tear line is formed in the base carton between the first ends and defines a tubular sub-carton and a remainder portion. The sub-carton has a second length extending between the first end of the base carton and the tear line. The second length is less than the first length. A tray is slidably disposed in the sub-carton. The tray has first and second ends and a third length extending between the first and second ends of the tray. The third length is less than the first length of the base carton.

Carton having tray and return carton

An interactive packaging system is disclosed which is designed to securely support therein a product yet enable a potential purchaser thereof direct visual and tactile access to the product without the need to open the packaging. Additionally, the package includes a compartment and associated retention arrangement within which supplemental package of supplies or the like may be positioned.

Interactive packaging system

A flip-top reclosable carton for packaging articles. The carton includes front, rear and side wall panels, the side wall panels having generally horizontally slits to form the sides of the flip-top and the rear wall panel being scored to form a hinge between the flip-top and the lower portion of the carton. Top and bottom wall panels are foldably attached to at least one of the front rear and side panels. A perforated tear strip is located on the front panel and extends between the slits in the side panels, whereby removal of the tear strip allows the flip-top to be opened. The tear strip includes an aperture located at one end of the perforated tear strip to permit the one end to be lifted to aid in the removal of the tear strip. In the preferred embodiment, the carton also includes an audible click closure. The closure includes a locking tab formed along the lower front edge of the flip-top and a first inner front panel adjacent to the front panel having an aperture adapted to receive the locking tab.
