Abstract

A shipping mailer has a one-piece body with a first wall and a second wall that are folded together and sealed along sealed side edge portions of the one-piece body, the shipping mailer having a closed first end portion and a second end portion with an opening sealable by a closure. The one-piece body includes a single face corrugated material with a liner layer and a fluted medium layer, and has a center fold line at the closed first end portion from which the first and second walls extend. The fluted medium layer has a plurality of flutes extending parallel to the center fold line, and flutes of the first wall nest with flutes of the second wall. The flutes are crushed in the sealed side edge portions such that the crushed flutes interlock, and the first and second walls fold along inner boundaries of the sealed side edge portions.

Abstract

An article can include a panel member folded to form a collapsible sleeve comprising a first panel layer and a second panel layer, the panel member movable between a first configuration and a second configuration, the first and second panel layers defining a product-receiving portion. Each of the first panel layer and the second panel layer can comprise a pivotable edge portion and an extension portion coupled to the pivotable edge portion and received in an opening defined in a respective first and second panel layer. The edge portions of the first panel layer and the second panel layer are pivotable together to form a double-layered support member extending at an angle to the product-receiving portion on a first side of the product-receiving portion and the extension portions are pivotable out of their respective openings on an opposite, second side of the product-receiving portion by motion of the pivotable edge portions.

Abstract

A post for supporting trays of a container comprises a plurality of panel sections including a first panel section. The panel sections form first and second corners positioned adjacent to one side surface of the first panel section and that end up at the interior of the post. The upper trays are desirably supported by the interior corners and also by portions of the panel sections that form the interior corners and by a portion of the first panel section to thereby enhance the support provided to the upper trays. Two of the posts can be positioned together in face to face relationship to form a center post for supporting upper trays. Selected panel sections desirably have upwardly extending locking tabs and cross member support receiving slots. Containers comprising plural trays and such posts are also described.

Abstract

A box structure comprises an inner display box and an outer box. Detachable connections are provided between adjacent outer box and inner box wall panels. In one form, attaching inner box handle opening overlays to outer box handle overlays at the respective end wall panels of the box structure, one or more outer box back wall overlays to the inner box back wall panel, and a display panel portion of an inner box front wall panel to an outer box front wall panel assist in maintaining the integrity of the box structure. Outer box corners can have tear lines and walls disconnected at one corner to reduce bending stresses on the inner box walls during manufacture and erection of the box structure, while also facilitating the removal of the outer box from the inner display box.

Abstract

A reinforced container assembly and method for making the same are provided. The reinforced container assembly comprises a fiberboard container and a first reinforcement strap. The fiberboard container has a lower portion and an upper portion. The first reinforcement strap wraps continuously around a periphery of the container a plurality of times in a spiraling manner from a starting point of the reinforcement strap to a terminating point of the reinforcement strap. The reinforcement strap physically connects to the container at a first location. The reinforcement strap is further physically connected to the container at second location. The reinforcement strap provides structural support to the fiberboard container to increase the strength of the container assembly.
