Figure 84 is a plan view of a template for a single lid carton, having a stacking support structure, according to another preferred embodiment of the invention. Figures 84A-84H illustrate various stages of the articulation of the template of Figure 84. While this invention is amenable to modality in many different forms, various embodiments are shown in the drawings and will be described in detail, with the understanding of that the present description will be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the illustrated modes. When referring to the plan illustrations of the templates, the conventions of the normal drawings apply. That is, unless otherwise noted, dashed lines indicate fold lines; the ruled lines indicate fragile lines that form a detachment belt or similar structure, and thick inner lines indicate through cuts. In preferred embodiments, the templates are made of corrugated cardboard material, but others. Materials that have similar suitable performance characteristics can be used if desired. The basic premise underlying the four-cornered tray wrap designs of Figures 1-28 is that of providing a wrap-around template construction, in which the template comprises four panels, consecutively arranged in the template, top panel; back panel (side), bottom panel; and front panel (side), connected contiguously along the fold lines between panels. The larger tabs (end panels) descend from the end edges of the upper and lower panels, of which each main tab (end panels) are sized to cover the ends of the articulated carton. The smaller tabs descend from the leading and trailing edges of the larger tabs. A locking tab descends from the entry and exit edges of the larger tabs. A locking tab descends from a free edge of either the upper or lower part (i.e. the entry and exit edges of the template). With the hinge, the smaller tabs descending from the larger tabs (ends) of the lower panel are bent into the inlet and outlet panels and form vertical supports for the container. The described minor tabs may or may not adhere to the established front and back panels. If they adhere, it can result in improved stacking resistance. The inner bent (and adhered) tabs form the vertical supports for the container. The entrance and rear (side) panels are then folded perpendicular to the bottom panel. Within this articulation phase of the container, the adhesive can be distributed to adhere the 30 minor tabs juxtaposed to the front and rear panels. The upper panel is then folded down parallel to the lower panel and the extension of the upper part of the panel (closure flap or glued projection) is further folded down and adhered to the front panel and parallel to the front panels 1 'and back. The larger tabs (outer panels) coming from the upper panel are folded down over the larger tabs (inner end panels) of the lower panel and once juxtaposed adhered together. The smaller reinforcing tabs of the tabs of greater
(external panels) that come from the top panel are folded and adhered to the front and back panels. This creates a triple laminated and bonded thickness of container material along the end edge regions of the front and back panels, as well as a double thickness laminated and adhered material at the ends of the carton. In a first variation of the general design (Figures 1-9), the width of the cardboard box is considerably greater than the depth or height. The minor tabs are each substantially less than half the width of the carton, so that there is a substantial space between the confronted free edges of the smaller tabs on the inner and outer faces of the front and rear walls, this way creating "corner post" reinforcement structures, instead of complete end or side walls. The locking tab comes from the free edge of the top panel, and is bent to be juxtaposed and attached adhesively to the front panel. The container 10 is formed from the template 11 (Figure 2). Template 11 includes lower panel 1.2, front panel b4 (side), back panel b6 (side), upper panel 1.8, and locking tab 20; as well as fold lines 1,3, 15, 17 and 19. The template 11 also includes panels 22, 24 inner ends (which proceed along the fold lines 21, 23 respectively) of which the lower minor tabs 26, 28, 30, 32 proceed along the lines 25, 27, 29 and 31 fold, respectively. Panels 34, 36 outer ends come from the upper panel 18 along the fold lines 33, 35, respectively. The reinforcement flanges 38, 40, 42, 44 come from the outer end panels 34, 36, along the fold lines 37, 39, 41 and 43, respectively. The extreme edges of panels 14 and 16 3
They can be vertical. Alternatively, the end edges of the rear panel 16 can preferably be concavely arcuate and the end edges of the front panel 14 can be inclined internally from the bottom to the top (both as illustrated), because this style of slot configuration It can allow easy removal and easy removal of waste material from the designated opening created in the template sheet. As an alternative, instead of the designated slot, described, a singular cut may be implemented which includes shifts as required thus eliminating the need to remove the waste material. In a typical articulation procedure, the first product to be contained will be introduced into the template 11, which will lie completely in a packaging apparatus. The tabs 30, 32 will be folded perpendicular to the panel 24 and the tabs 26, 28 will be folded perpendicular to the panel 22. The panels 22, 24 will be folded up perpendicular to the lower panel 12. Rear panel 1.6 (side) and front panel 14
(lateral) will then be folded up perpendicularly to the lower panel 12, as shown sequentially in Figures 3-5. The upper panel 18 then bends downwardly toward and in parallel with the lower panel 12; and panels 34, 36 outer ends are folded over the panels 22, 24, inner ends, respectively and adhere to the end panels 22, 24.
Finally, reinforcement tabs 38, 40, 42, 44
(smaller tabs) are folded perpendicular to the outer panels 34, 36, and adhesively bonded to the outer surfaces of front and rear panels 14, 16
(lateral). When the panel 18 is folded down, the locking tab 20 preferably bends to the outside of the front panel 14, and adhesively attaches to the exterior surface thereof (Figure 6). In an alternative sequence, which is described in detail with respect to the embodiment of Figure 14, but which is understood to be applicable to all of the embodiments described and / or illustrated herein, fr products that are packaged are not placed in. the bottom panel before any articulation. In fact, the inner front minor tabs and the front panel may not be bent with respect to the inner end panels and the lower panel, respectively, at the same time that the rear inner minor tabs and the rear panel are folded and adhered with respect to the rear panels. inner extr-emo panels and the lower panel, respectively. This can result in a partially formed container, which has an open front area in which the products that are packaged can be trusted, relying on the inner surfaces of the lower inner rear tabs to provide stacking structures or other alignment. With the insertion of the products, the remaining panels and tabs are articulated in rubber substantially as previously described. The first variation of the general design of "Figures 1-9 can be addressed in an alternative way.The width of the carton is still considerably greater than the depth or height.The minor tabs are each substantially less than half the width of the carton, so that there is substantial space between the confronted free edges of the smaller tabs on the inner and outer faces of the front and rear walls, thus creating reinforcement structures "corner post", instead of the entire end or side walls The closure tab comes from the free edge of the top panel, and is folded to be juxtaposed and adhesively fixed to the front panel The container 10 will be formed from the template 11 (Figure 2). template 11 includes lower panel 12, front panel 14 (side), rear panel 16
(lateral) upper panel 18 and closing tab 20; as well as fold lines 13, 15, 17 and 19. The template 11 also includes panels 22, 24 inner ends (which proceed along the fold lines 21, 23, respectively) of which the inner minor tabs 26, 28, 30, -32 proceed along the lines 25, 217, 29 and 31 fold, respectively. Panels 34, 36 outer ends come from the upper panel 18 along the lines 33, 35, fold, respectively. The reinforcement tabs 38, 40, 42, 44 come from the outer ends panels 34,36 along the fold lines 37, 39, 41,43, respectively. The end edges of panels b4 and b6 can be vertical. Alternatively, the end edges of the back panel can preferably be arcuate concavely and the end edges of the front panel 14 preferably can be inclined internally from the bottom to the top (both as illustrated), because this style of slot configuration can allow ease of removal and ease of detachment of waste material from the opening designed and created in the template sheet. Alternatively, instead of the designated slot described, a single cut may be implemented which includes shifts as required, thus eliminating the need for removal of the waste material. In a typical alternative articulation procedure, the first template 11 is formed in a tray-like container as per Figure 10 whereby the inner minor panels 26, 28, 30 and 32 are folded along the lines 25, 27, 29 and 31 fold, respectively, perpendicular to the panels 22 and 24 inner ends. The outer panels 22 and 24 are then folded along the folds 21 and 23, respectively, perpendicular to the lower panel 12. The inner panels 26, 28, 30 and 32 and are adhesively bonded to the front panel 14 (side) and the rear panel 16 (side). The product that is contained will fall packed into the formed cavity whose perimeter may consist of inner minor tabs 26, 28, 30 and 32, front panel 14 (side) and rear panel 16 (side), panels 22, 24 inner ends together with the panel 12 of the template Ib as shown sequentially in Figures 3 and 5, the upper panel 18 then bends downwardly, towards and in parallel with the lower panel 12; and outer panels 34, 36 are folded over the panels 22, 24 inner ends, respectively and adhere to the end panels 22, 24. Finally, reinforcing tabs 38, 40, 42 and 44 (smaller tabs) are folded perpendicular to the outer panels 34, 36 and adhesively attached to the outer surfaces of the front and rear panels 14, 16.
(lateral). When the upper panel 18 is folded downwardly, the locking tab 20 preferably bends towards the outside of the front panel 14, and the exterior surface thereof is adhesively fixed (Figure 6). In an alternative sequence which is described in detail with respect to the embodiment of Figure 14, but which is understood to be applicable to all modes described and / or illustrated herein, the products that are packaged are not placed on the top panel before any articulation. The product will fall packed into the described wall cavity whose perimeter is formed of inner smaller tabs 226, 228, 230 and 232 together with the inner panels 222 and 224 and the lower panel 202. Depending on the proportions, the rear perimeter is formed by the addition of the rear panel 216 (side). The front panel
(side) of the tray can only be a portion of the front perimeter panel and can be completed by the upper panel '' 220. The lower inner tabs and the partial front panel can be bent with respect to the inner end panels and the lower panel, respectively, at the same time that the lower back minor tabs and the back panel are folded and adhered with respect to the inner end panels and the bottom panel, respectively. This can result in a formed tray container, which has a partially open area, in which the products that are packaged can be loose packed, relying on the inner surfaces of the lower rear tabs, the inner end panels, the front small tabs , and potentially a partial (lateral) front panel as well as a rear (lateral) panel to provide stacking structures or other alignment. With the insertion of the products, the remaining panels and the tongues are articulated and crimped substantially as previously described. 5 A second variation of the design (Figures 10A-10D and
11) is substantially the same as those of Figures 1-9, except that the locking tab 20 'is trapezoidal. Accordingly, the jig forming the container 10 'is substantially identical to the jig 11 that forms the container 10 of Figures 1-9, and the method of articulation of the jig forming the container 10' is substantially identical to the method of articulation of the template 11. Thus, the panels and fold lines 5 form the template 11 'which are similar or identical to the corresponding panels and the crease lines of the
\ template 11 are provided with similar reference numbers, augmented by a premium (?). The process of articulation of the template 11 'as illustrated in the 0 Figures 10A-10D. The container 10 'is formed from the template 11' (Figure 11). The template 11 'includes a lower panel 12', front panel 14 '(side), rear panel 16' (side) top panel 18 'and closure tab 20'; thus 5 as lines 13 ', 15', 17 'and 19' of fold. The template 11 'also includes panels 22', 24 'inner ends (which proceed along the fold lines 21', 23 ', respectively) of which the smaller tabs 26', 28 ', 3.0', 32 ' interiors proceed along fold lines 25 ', 217', 29 'and 31', respectively. Panels 34 ', 36' outer ends come from the upper panel 18 'along the lines 33', 35 ', fold, respectively. The reinforcement tabs 38 ', 40', 42 ', 44' come from the outer panels 34 ', 36' along the fold lines 37 ', 39', 41 ', 43', respectively. The end edges of the panels 14 'and 16' can be vertical. Alternatively, the end edges of the rear panel 16 'and the front panel 14' may preferably be arched concavely or grooved (as illustrated), because this style of slot configuration may allow ease of removal and ease of detachment waste of the opening designed and created in the template sheet. As an alternative, instead of the designated and created slot, a single cut can be implemented that includes shifts as required, thus eliminating the need to remove the waste material. In a typical articulation procedure, the first product that is contained will be introduced into the template 11 ', which will lie completely in a packaging apparatus. The tabs 30 ', 32' will bend perpendicular to the panel 24 ', and the tabs 26', 28 'will bend perpendicular to the panel 22'. The panels 22 ', 24' will be folded up perpendicular to the lower panel 12 '. The rear panel 16 '(side) and the front panel 14' (side) will then be folded up perpendicular to the bottom panel 12 ', as shown sequentially in Figures 10A-10D. The upper panel 18 'then bends downwardly toward and in parallel to the lower panel 12'; and panels 34 ', 36' outer ends, are folded over and adhered to panels 22 ', 24', inner ends, respectively. Finally, the reinforcement flanges 38 ', 40', 42 ', 44' (small tabs) are folded perpendicularly along the folds 34 ', 39', 41 'and 42', respectively to the panels 34 ', 36 'outer ends; and adhesively bonding to the outer surfaces of the front and rear (side) panels 14 ', 16'. When 'the upper panel 18' is folded downwardly, the locking tab 20 'preferably bends to the outside of the front panel 14', and adhesively attaches to the exterior surface thereof (Figure 10C-10D). A third variation of the design (Figures 12 and 13) is similar to the variations of Figures 1-9 and 10-11, except that the locking tab comes from the free edge of the front panel 114, and is trapezoidal. The container 110 is formed from the template 111 (Figure 12). The template 111 includes a lower panel 112, front panel 114 (side), rear panel 116 (side) top panel 118 and closure tab 120; as well as crease lines 113, 115, 117 and 119. The template 111 also includes panels 122, 124 inner ends (which proceed along the fold lines 121, 123, respectively) of which the inner smaller tabs 126, 128, 130, 132 proceed along the lines 125 , 127, 129 and 131 fold, respectively. Panels 134, 136 outer ends come from the upper panel 118 along the fold lines 133, 135, respectively. Reinforcement tabs 138, 140, 142, 144 come from panels 134, 136 outside ends along fold lines 137, 139, 141, 143, respectively. The end edges of panels 114 and 116 may be vertical. Alternatively, the end edges of the rear panel 116 and the front panel 114 can preferably be arcuate concavely or grooved (as illustrated), because this style of slot configuration can allow ease of removal and ease of detachment of waste material from the opening designed and created in the template sheet. As an alternative, instead of the designated and created slot, a single cut can be implemented that includes shifts as required, thus eliminating the need to remove the waste material.
In a typical articulation procedure, the first product to be contained will be introduced into the lupine 111, which will lie completely in a packaging apparatus. The tabs 130, 132 will be folded perpendicular to the panel 124, and the tabs 126, 128 will be bent perpendicular to the panel 122. The panels 122, 124 will be folded up perpendicular to the lower panel 112. The rear (side) panel 116 and the front (side) panel 114 will then be folded up perpendicular to the lower panel 112, as shown in Figures 13A-13D. The upper panel 118 then bends downwards, towards and parallel to the lower panel 112; and panels 134, 13 'outer ends are folded over and adhered to panels 122, 124, inner-ends, respectively. Finally, the reinforcing tabs 138, 140, 142, 144 (small tabs) are folded perpendicular to the panels 134, 136, outer ends and adhesively attached to the exterior surfaces of. panels 114, 116 front and rear (side). When the upper panel 118 is folded downward, the locking tab 120 preferably bends toward the interior of the upper panel 118, and adhesively attaches to the interior surface thereof. In a fourth variation of the design (Figures 14), which is generally similar to the embodiment of Figures 1-9, the ratio of the width of the carton to the depth of the carton is greater though one, although substantially smaller than in the variations of Figures 1-9; 10-11 or 12-13. As such, the widths of the "lesser" tabs are equal to half the width of the carton, so that the free edges facing the minor tongue meet or are almost found, along the middle point of the side next to the cardboard box, along the interior and exterior surfaces of the front and rear panels. The container 210 is formed from the template 211 (Figure 14). The template 211 includes a lower panel 212, front panel 214 (side), rear panel 216 (side) top panel 218 and closure tab 220; as well as fold lines positioned similarly to the fold lines 13, 15, 17 and 19 of Figure 2. The template 211 also includes panels 222, 224 interior ends (which proceed along the fold lines positioned similarly to the fold lines 21, 23 of Figure 2, respectively) of which the inner smaller tabs 226, 228, 230, 232 proceed along the fold lines placed to the fold lines 25, 27, 29 and 31 , of Figure 2, respectively. Panels 234, 236 exterior ends come from the upper panel 218 along the fold lines positioned similarly to the fold lines 33, 35 of Figure 2. The reinforcing flanges 238, 240, 242, 244 come from the panels 234 , 236 outer ends along the fold lines positioned similarly to the fold lines 37, 39, 41 and 43 of Figure 2, respectively. The end edges of the rear panels 216 and the front panel 214 may bow concavely or groove, or be inclined internally from the bottom to the top, or vertical, as described in previously described embodiments, if desired or taken as necessary. according to the requirements of any particular application. In a typical articulation procedure, the first product to be contained will be introduced into the template 211, which will lie completely in a packaging apparatus. The tabs 230, 232 will be bent perpendicular to the panel 224, and the tabs 226, 228 will be bent perpendicular to the panel 222. The panels 222, 224 will be folded up perpendicular to the lower panel 212. The rear panel 216 (side) and the front panel 214 (side) will then be folded up perpendicular to the lower panel 212, as shown in the trajectory? of Figure 14. Upper panel 218 then bends downwardly, toward and parallel to lower panel 212; and panels 234, 236 exterior ends are folded over and adhesively attached to the panels 222, 224 interior ends, respectively. Finally, the reinforcement tabs 238, 240, 242, 244 (small tabs) are folded along the pleats 237, 239, 241 and 243, respectively, perpendicular to the outer panels 234, 236, and adhesively attached to the outer ends. exterior surfaces of panels 214, 216 and 220 front and rear
(lateral). When the upper panel 218 is folded downward, the locking tab 220 preferably bends to the outside of the smaller front tabs 218 and 234, and adhesively attaches to the outer surface thereof, but the inside of the eyelashes 242, 238 of reinforcement, due to the width of those tabs. In an alternative embodiment of the method for forming the package, shown in Trajectory B, the front panel 214 does not rise at the same time as the rear panel 216, and the smaller tabs 232 and 238 likewise do not bend internally, at the same time. time the tabs
230, 226 this provides a "tray type" function, it is that instead of placing the product in the lower panel 212 before any articulation, the placement of the product may be delayed until the configuration which is the first stage is obtained (as reflected). by the arrow) in Path B. In this configuration, because there is a "back wall" formed by smaller tabs 230, 226, the container can serve as a reinforcement or alignment structure, for more or less loosely collected products, stacked or otherwise aligned. Regardless of the trajectory taken, the structure and configuration of the container agrees. Figure 14 will be the same as the one shown on the right side of that Figure. A fifth variation of the design (Figure 15) is similar to the design of Figures 1-9, except that, with the joint, the sides of the cardboard box all align, so that the resulting container is frusto-pyramidal in configuration. The frusto-pyramidal container is formed from the template 311 (Figure 15). Template 311 includes lower panel 312, front panel 314 (side), rear panel 316 (side), upper panel 318 and closure tab 320; as well as fold lines 313,315, 317 and 319. The jig 311 also includes panels 322, 324 interior ends (proceeding along the lines 321,323, respectively) of which the lower minor tabs 326, 328, 330, 332 proceed along the lines 325, 327, 329, and 331 fold, respectively. The outer ends panels 334, 336 come from the upper panel 318 along the fold lines 333, 336, respectively. The reinforcing tabs 338, 340, 342, 344 come from the outermost panels 334, 336, along the fold lines 337,339, 341 and 343, respectively. The end edges of the rear panel 316 can be arched concavely (as illustrated), grooved, tilted or vertical, while the end edges of the front panel 314 can be vertical (as illustrated), internally tilted from the bottom to the top , or be concave, because this style of slot configuration can allow easy removal and easy detachment of waste material from the designated opening created in the template sheet. As an alternative, instead of the designated groove, described, a singular cut may be implemented which includes displacements when required thereby eliminating a need for material removal of debris. In a typical articulation procedure, the first product to be contained will be introduced into the template 311, which will lie completely in a packing apparatus. The tabs 330, 332 will bend perpendicular to the panel 324, and the tabs 326, 328 will be folded perpendicular to the panel 322. The panels 322, 324 will be folded up perpendicular to the lower panel 312. Rear panel 316 (side) and front panel 314
(lateral) will then be folded up perpendicular to lower panel 312. The upper panel 318 then bends downwards, towards and in parallel with the lower panel 312; and panels 334, 336 outer ends are folded over the panels 322, 324 inner ends, respectively. Finally, the tabs 338, 340, 342, 344 reinforcement (minor tabs) are folded along the folds 337, 339, 341 and 343, perpendicular to the panels 334, 336 outside ends, and adhesively bonded to the front and rear panels 314, 316 (lateral). When the upper panel 318 is folded downwardly, the locking tab 320 preferably bends to the outside of the front panel 314, and adhesively bonds to the exterior surface thereof. The fold lines 329, 331, 325 and 327 are all at non-perpendicular angles with respect to the fold lines 323, 321, respectively. Similarly, the fold lines 341, 343, 337 and 339 are all at non-perpendicular angles with respect to the fold lines 335, 333, respectively. In addition, the panels 342, 344, 330, 332, 338, 340, 326 and 328 are all non-rectangular. In addition, the lower panel 312 is deeper, from front to rear, than the upper panel 318. In this way, with the articulation the resulting container has frontal, posterior and extreme regions internally inclined, to create a frusto-pyramidal container. A sixth variation of the design (Figure 16) is similar to the design of Figures 11-13, except that, with the joint, the sides of the cardboard box all align, so that the resulting cardboard box - "is frustrous. -piramidal in configuration. The container is formed from template 411 (Figure 16). The template 411 includes the lower panel 412, front panel 414 (side), rear panel 416 (side), upper panel 418 and locking tab 420; as well as fold lines 413, 415, 417 and 419. The template 411 also includes panels 422, 424 inner ends (which proceed along the fold lines 421, 423, respectively) of which the lower minor tabs 426, 428, 430, 432 proceed along the lines 425 , 427, 429 and 431 fold, respectively. The outer end panels 434, 436 come from the upper panel 418 along the fold lines 433, 435, respectively. The reinforcing tabs 438, 440, 442, 444 come from the outer ends panels 434, 436, along the fold lines 437, 439, 441 and 443, respectively. The end edges of panels 414 and 416 can be vertical. Alternatively, the end edges of the rear panel 416 and the front panel 414 may preferably be armored or concavely grooved (as illustrated), because this style of slot configuration may allow for easy removal and easy removal of the waste material from the web. opening designated and created in the template sheet. As an alternative, instead of the designated slot, described, a singular cut can be implemented which includes shifts when required, thus eliminating a need for material removal of debris. In a typical articulation procedure, the first product that is contained will be introduced into the template 411, which will lie completely in a packaging apparatus. The tabs 430, 432 will be bent perpendicular to the panel 424, and the tabs 426, 428 will be bent perpendicular to the panel 422. The panels 422, 424 will be folded up perpendicular to the lower panel 412. Rear panel 416 (side) and front panel 414
(lateral) will then be folded up perpendicular to lower panel 412. The upper panel 418 then bends downwards, towards and in parallel with the lower panel 412; and panels 434, 436 exterior ends are folded over panels 422, 424 interior ends, respectively. Finally, the reinforcement tabs 438, 440, 442 and 444 (small tabs) are folded perpendicular to the outer ends panels 434, 436, and adhesively attached to the outer surfaces of the front and rear (side) panels 414, 416. When the upper panel 418 bends downwardly, the locking tab 420 preferably bends into the interior of the upper panel 418, and adhesively bonds to the interior surface thereof.
The fold lines 429, 431, 425 and 427 are all at non-perpendicular angles with respect to the fold lines 423, 421, respectively. Similarly, the fold lines 441, 443, 437 and 439 are all at non-perpendicular angles with respect to the fold lines 435, 433, respectively. In addition, panels 442, 444, 430, 432, 438, 440, 426, 428 are all non-rectangular. In addition, the lower panel 412 is deeper, from front to rear, than the upper panel 418. In this way, with the articulation, the resulting container has internal, inclined front, rear and extreme regions, to create a frusto-pyramidal container. The seventh variation (Figures 17A-19F) of design is similar to the basic design of Figures 1-9; except that the front panel is substantially shorter than the back panel, to create an open display region and the brittle lines are provided on the closure tab, along the mid portions of the front, rear and side edges of the front panel. top panel and along the diagonals of the corners of the top panel. This allows the volume of the upper panel to be removed, leaving the upper panel sections in a triangle shape and giving the resistance stability and stacking capacity. The container 510 is formed from the template 511. The template 511 includes a lower panel 512, front panel 514 (side), rear panel 516 (side) panel 518a upper central with panels 518b-518d upper corner and tongue 520 closing; as well as crease lines 513, 515, 517a and 517d and 519a and 519d. The template 511 also includes panels 522, 524 inner ends (which proceed along the lines 521, 523, fold, respectively) of which the inner minor tabs 526, 528, 530, 532, come along the lines 525, 527, 529 and 531 fold, respectively. The outer ends panels 534, 536 come from the upper central panel 518a and their respective corner panels along fold and perforation lines 533b-c, 535b-c 533a, 535a, respectively. The reinforcing tabs 538, 540, 542, 544 come from the outer ends panels 534, 536, along the fold lines 537, 539, 541 and 543, respectively. The template 511 also includes lines 517b, 517c, 518g-g, 519b 519c drilling, as well as openings 518f and 520b. The end edges of panels 514 and 516 can be vertical. Alternatively, the end edges of the rear panel 516 may preferably bow concavely and the end edges of the front panel 514 preferably be inclined internally from the bottom to the top (both as illustrated), because this configuration style of Slots can allow easy removal, ease of removal and easy detachment of waste material from the designated opening created in the template sheet. Alternatively, instead of the designated groove described, a singular cut may be implemented which includes offsets as required thus eliminating the need to remove the waste material. In a typical articulation procedure, the first product that is contained will be introduced into the template 511, which will lie completely in a packaging apparatus. The tabs 530, 532 will be folded perpendicular to the panel 524, and the tabs 526, 528 will be folded perpendicular to the panel 522. The panels 522, 524 will be folded up perpendicular to the lower panel 512. Rear panel 516 (side) and front panel 514
(lateral) will then be folded up perpendicularly to the lower panel 512, as shown sequentially in Figures 17a and 19a-19f. The upper panel 518 then bends downwardly, towards and in parallel with the lower panel 512; and the outer ends panels 534, 536 are folded over and adhesively bonded to the outer surface of the inner ends panels 522, 524, respectively. Finally, the reinforcing tabs 538, 540, 542 and 544 (minor tabs) are folded perpendicular to the outer ends panels 534, 536, and adhesively attached to the outer surface of the rear panel 516 (side) outer surface of the panel 514 (front) side and outer surfaces of the closing tab 520, specifically outer surfaces of the upper closing front panels 520C and 520b. When the upper panel 518 bends downwardly, the locking tab 520 preferably bends toward the outer surfaces of the inner minor tabs 532 and 528 and adhesively bonds to the outer surface thereof. Instead of opening or cutting the container, as in other wrap-around container constructions, access to the inside of the container 510 is achieved by removing the upper central panel 518a, tearing along the lines 533a, 518h, 517b, 517c , 518c, 575a, 578i, 519c, 519b and 518g, leaving behind a display display tray that has four corner posts, with triangular top corner panels to allow even stacking of the open tray. Figures 19A-19F show different ways in which the articulation of the template 511 can be achieved to arrive at the fully articulated configuration of Figure 29F. In the eighth variation of the design (Figures 20-24), there is no locking tab either along the entry or exit edges of the template. In fact, there are trapezoidal areas of both upper and front panels that are cut into a matrix to leave an open area along the upper and front panels, for display and distribution purposes, without removing material from the cardboard box. 610 is formed from template 611 (Figure 20). The template 611 includes the lower panel 612, the front panel 614 (side), the rear panel 616 (side), upper panel 618; as well as fold lines 613, 615 and 617. The template 611 also includes panels 622, 624 inner ends (which proceed along the fold lines 621, 623, respectively) of which the inner minor tabs 626, 628, 630, 632 come along the lines 625 , 627, 629 and 631 fold, respectively. The outer end panels 634, 636 come from the upper panel 618 along the fold lines 633, 635, respectively. The reinforcing tabs 638, 640, 642, 644 come from the outer end panels 634, 636, along the fold lines 637, 639, 641 and 642, respectively. The end edges of the back panel 616 may bow concavely, (as illustrated), groove, tilt or be vertical, while the end edges of the front panel 614 may be vertical (as illustrated), lean inward from the bottom to the bottom of the panel 614. upper, or concave, because this style of slot configuration can allow ease of removal and ease of detachment of waste material from the designated opening created in the template sheet. As an alternative, instead of the described, designated slot, a singular cut may be implemented which includes shifts when required, thus eliminating a need to remove waste material. In a typical articulation procedure, the
-first product that is contained will be introduced in template 611, which will lie completely in a packaging device. The inner minor tabs 630, 632 will bend perpendicular to the end panel 624, and the inner minor tabs 626, 628 will bend perpendicular to the end panel 622. The panels 622, 624 will be folded up perpendicular to the lower panel 612. The back panel 616 (side) and the front panel 614 (side) will then be folded up perpendicularly to the bottom panel 612 and can be adhesively fixed to the outer surfaces of the inner minor tabs 626, 628, 630 and 632. The upper panel 618 then bends downwardly, towards and in parallel to the lower panel 612; and the outer end panels 634, 636 are folded over and adhesively affixed to the outer surface of the inner end panels 622, 624, respectively. Finally, the reinforcing tabs 638, 640, 642 and 644 (small tabs) are added along the pleats 637, 639, 641 and 643 perpendicular to the outer ends panels 634, 636, and adhesively attached to the surfaces exteriors of the 614, 616 front and rear panels (side panels). In a ninth variation (Figures 25 and 26A-C), the container is provided with angled corner panel structures, rather than smaller tabs that come from the side edges of the inner end panel to create a container so-called "without grooves". . The container 710 is formed from the template 711 (Figure 25). Template 711 includes lower panel 712, front panel 714 (side), rear panel 716 (side), upper panel 718 and locking tab 720; as well as fold lines 713, 715, 717 and 719. The template 711 also includes panels 722, 724 inner ends (which proceed along the fold lines 721, 723, respectively) of which the inner smaller tabs 726, 728, 730, 732 proceed along the lines 725 , 727, 729 and 731 fold, respectively. The outer end panels 734, 736 come from the upper panel 718 along the fold lines 733, 735, respectively. The reinforcing tabs 738, 740, 742, 744 come from the panels 734, 736 exterior ends, along the fold lines 737, 739, 741 and 743, respectively. In addition, template 711 includes panels 726a, 726b, 730a, 730b, 728a, 728b, 732a and 732b; fold 726c, 730c, 728c and 732c fold lines; and notched grooves 726d, 730d, 728d and 7 * 32d. The template 711 also includes cuts 716c, 716d of separation. In a typical articulation procedure, the first product that is contained will be introduced into the template 711, which will lie completely in a packaging apparatus. Panels 722, 724 inner ends will be folded up perpendicular to lower panel 712, while rear panel 716 (side) and front panel (side) 714 is removed by corner edged structures to fold up perpendicular to lower panel 712 as shown in Figures 26A-26C. At each corner, the respective tapered panel pairs are internally folded, so that the panels 730b, 726b are placed parallel to the inner surface of the panel 716, capturing and adhesively attaching the panels 730a, 726b therebetween, respectively; and panels 728b, 732b are placed parallel to the inner surface of panel 714, capturing and adhesively attaching panels 728a, 732a therebetween, respectively. The upper panel 718 then bends downwardly, toward and in parallel with the lower panel 712; and panels 734, 736 of outer ends are folded over panels 722, 724, inner ends, respectively. Finally, the reinforcing tabs 738, 740, 742 and 744 (minor tabs) are folded along the fold lines 737, 739, 741 and 743, respectively, perpendicular to the outermost panels 734, 736, and they are adhesively bonded to the outer surfaces of the front and rear (side) panels 714, 716. When the upper panel 718 is bent downwardly, the locking tab 720 preferably bends to the outside of the front panel 714, and adhesively attaches to the exterior surface thereof (Figure 26C). The container 710 resulting in this way is a container "without grooves", suitable for the prevention of leakage of liquids (if properly coated on the interior surfaces thereof), and otherwise, suitable for the prevention of leakage of materials dried in grains or in particles. In a tenth variation (Figures 27 and 28A-C), a container similar to that of the embodiment of Figures 1-9 is provided with a second locking tab, so that the two closing tabs of the upper and front panels overlap to form a reinforced "bar" through the front of the container, or else it may be the most fragile corner region, depending on the proportions of the sealed container. The container 810 is formed from the template 811 (Figure 27) the template 811 includes the lower panel 812, the front panel 814 (side), the rear panel 816 (side), the upper panel 818 and the upper closing tongue 820 and tongue 852 front closure; as well as fold lines 813, 815, 817, 819 and 850. The template 811 also includes panels 822, 824 inner ends (which proceed along the fold lines 821, 823, respectively) of which the inner minor tabs 826, 828, 830, 832 proceed along the lines 825 , 827, 829 and 831 fold, respectively, the outer end panels 834, 836 come from the upper panel 818 along the fold lines 833, 835, respectively. The reinforcement tabs 838, 840, 842, 844 coming from the outer end panels 834, 836, along the fold lines 837, 839, 841 and 843, respectively. The end edges of panels 814 and 816 may be vertical. Alternatively, the end edges of the rear panel 816 and the front panel 814 can preferably be arched or slotted concavely (as illustrated) or internally tilted from the bottom to the top, because this style of slot configuration can allow ease of removal, ease, detachment of the waste material from the designated opening and created in the template sheet. As an alternative, instead of the designated, prescribed slot, a single cut can be implemented that includes shifts as required, thus eliminating the need to remove the waste material. In a typical articulation procedure, the first product that is contained will be introduced into the template 811, which will lie completely in a packaging apparatus. The tabs 830, 832 will be folded perpendicular to the panel 824 and the tabs 826, 828 will be folded perpendicular to the panel 822. The panels 822, 824 will be folded up perpendicular to the lower panel 812. Rear panel 816 (side) and front panel 814 (side) will then be folded up perpendicular to lower panel 812, as shown in Figures 28A-28C. Upper panel 818 then bends downwardly, toward and in parallel with lower panel 812; and the outer end panels 834, 836 are folded over the inner end panels 822, 824, respectively. Finally, the reinforcing tabs 838, 840, 842 and 844 (small tabs) are folded along the fold lines 837, 839, 841 and 843 perpendicular to the outer end panels 834, 836, and adhesively adhered S to the outer surfaces of the panels 814, 816 front and rear (side). When the upper panel 818 is folded downward, the locking tab 820 preferably bends to the outside of the front panel 814 and adhesively attaches to the exterior surface thereof, while the front closure panel 852 is folded upwardly and fixed to the upper surface of the upper panel 818, as shown in Figure 28C. The cardboard boxes of Figures 29-78 are preferably made of paper, cardboard and / or corrugated cardboard, although other materials-which have similar performance characteristics, as desired or dictated by the requirements of an application-may be employed. particular. When referring to the plan illustrations of the templates, the usual modes for drawing are applied for the illustration of the cardboard box templates made of paper, cardboard and / or corrugated cardboard, as is normally used in the art. say, unless otherwise noted, dashed lines indicate stripes, crease lines or other brittle lines such as perforations; ruled lines indicate fragile lines that form a strip of detachment or similar structure; and thick lines on the inside or extending to the edge of a template, indicate through cuts. A first embodiment is illustrated in Figures 29 and 30, in which it has a simple upper panel. The cardboard box 10 '(Figure 30) is formed from the template 11', which is preferably made of corrugated cardboard, although similarly, alternative embodiments can be used. If the corrugated cardboard is used, the preferred direction of the grooves is indicated by the double-headed arrow in Figure 29. The template Xl 'includes the lower panel 12'; side panels 13 ', 14'; lines 15 ', 16' of fold; tabs 17 '-20' minors; lines 21 '-24' of fold; 25 'end panel (front); panel 26 'end (rear); lines 27 ', 28' of fold; upper panel 29 '; tab 30 ', 31' of lateral and upper closure; tongue 32 'upper front closure; panels 33 ', 34' of upper corner; lines 35 '-38' of fold; first panels 39 ', 40' of overlap; second panels 41 '-44' of overlap; and lines 45 '-48' of crease. The inner side panels 13 ', 14' include inspection openings 49 ', 50', which are preferably formed by oval perforations 51 ', 52', to allow centers 49A, 50A to be inserted, when desired. The outer side panels 39 ', 40' include upper edge cuts 53 ', 54'. In this embodiment, the front panel 25 'is slightly trapezoidal (although it may be rectangular in alternative modes). The rear panel 26 'has an hourglass shape, although it can also be rectangular in alternative modes. The template 11 'also includes lines 55', 56 'of crease and perforations 57', 58 ', 5-9', 60 '. To form the carton 10 ', the side panels 13' and 14 'have been bent perpendicular to the bottom panel 12'. The smaller tabs 17 '-20' have been bent perpendicular to the side panels 13 ', 14' and for example, can adhere to the interior surfaces of the end panel (front) 25 'and the end panel' (rear) 26 '. First overlap panels 39 ', 40' have been placed on the outside of and adhered to the side panels 13 ', 14'. First overlapping panels 41 '-44' have been bent perpendicular to the first overlap panels 39 ', 40' and have adhered to the external facing surfaces of the end panel 25 'and end panel 26' (rear). Because the perforations 57 ', 58', 59 ', 60' are kept intact when the overlapping panels are placed and gummed, the top panel 29 'is initially placed over the opening of the carton parallel to the panel 12'. lower, but the upper side closing tabs 30 ', 31' and the upper front closing tongue 32 'are not gummed. To place the product in the carton 10 '(if the template 11' was not formed in fact around a product load), a worker (or machine) removes the top panel 29 ', breaking the perforations 57', 58 ' After the product has been placed in the carton 10 ', the placement of which can occur clearly in the carton formation process, while the carton is wrapped around the load in the usual way of the carton templates. envelope type container, the upper panel 29 'then folds parallel to the lower panel 12' and then the upper lateral closing tabs 30 ', 31' bend and adhere to the external facing surfaces of the panels 13 ', 14' inner side panels and the upper front closure tongue 32 'is folded perpendicular to the upper panel 29' and adheres to an external facing surface of the end panel 25 '(front). Figures .75-76 illustrate the steps in a method for forming a cardboard box, such as can be made from the template of Figures 29-30. These methods can be performed using appropriately modified cardboard box forming maize as is known in the art, such modifications can be easily accomplished by one of ordinary skill in the art, having the present description in mind. The stages are as follows: I. A flat template is indexed in a training station from the top of a stack of templates. II. The insole is then indexed laterally as the adhesive is applied to the interiqres surfaces of the template, such as panels 25 ', 26', 39 ', 40', 41 ', 42', 43 ', 44'. III. A mandrel then pushes the template through a forming chamber in the forming station in a compression station. IV. In a secondary school station, the top and side panels are folded while the overlapping panels are hinged and hinged. V. When a new cardboard box is received in the forming chamber, the newly formed carton is unloaded from the compression section on., A mechanical pick-up conveyor. SAW. The formed cartons are pushed towards a discharge tube from a box formation space located on an upper floor to a production floor of a production facility. VII. Cardboard boxes move laterally, for example, at shoulder height, on a conveyor belt, passing the manual packing stations, VIII.A worker selects an empty cardboard box from the conveyor belt, and places the carton. cardboard in the worker's packing station, for example, at the waist or thigh level IX The upper front closing tab is removed to open the carton for packaging X. The product, such as cuts of wrapped meat Cryovactm are packed in the open cardboard box XI.The full cardboard box is pushed on a pick-up conveyor to a sealing device, such as a Superior Sealer &; Lateral Elliott, or a Pearson side-tab sealer or a side-tab sealer from Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation. XII. Grooves are applied to the top panel and the top front closure tabs are sealed with hot melt adhesive. XIII. The cardboard box is then rotated 90 ° and the upper side closure tabs are sealed with the hot melt adhesive. XIV. The sealed cartons are then transported, for example, by means of a roller conveyor to a manual tray placing area. Tray loads are constructed, transferred by forklift to temporary storage, and then transported to customers when required. Figures 21-32 illustrate one embodiment having a two-panel upper cardboard box 100 'which is formed from a jig 101', which is preferably symmetrical about the longitudinal axis L and the transverse T-axis. Again, for a corrugated board template, the preferred direction of the grooves is indicated by the double arrow in Figure 31. Template 101 'includes lower panel 102'; side panels 103 ', 104'; lines 105 ', 106' of fold which is interrupted by cuts 107 ', 108' and 109 ', 110', respectively; end panel 111 '; fold line 112 'interrupted by the cut 113', 114 '; 115 'end panel; line 116 'of fold interrupted by cuts 117', 118 ', panels H9'-122' tapered, tongues 123'- 126 'smaller; lines 127 '-134' of fold; first panels 135 ', 136' upper; second panels 137 ', upper 137A; upper corner panels 138 '-141'; fold line 142 'interrupted by vent hole 143' and tabs 144 ', 145' cut into a matrix; fold line 146 ', interrupted by vent hole 147' and tabs 148 ', 149' cut into a matrix; 150 ', 151' fold lines; first panels 152 '-155' of overlap, second panels 156 '-159' of overlap; lines 160 '-167 fold. The template 102 'also includes slots 168' -171 ', which are configured to receive or fit over the tabs 172' -175 'with hooks, as shown in Figure 28. The side panels 103', 104 'can also be include holes 176 ', 177' for inspection. The separation lines 180 '-183', between the upper corner panels 138'-141 'and the first upper panels 135', 136 'may be perforations or through-cuts. If the perforations, with the gumming and folding of the first overlap panels 152 '-155' and the second overlap panels 156 '-159', the first panels 135 ', 136' above will be in a "closed" position and will have to be removed in the manner described in relation to the embodiment of Figures 29-30) to allow loading of the carton, if the carton 100 'still does not form around a load. In the formation of the carton 100 ', side panels 103' and 104 ', have been bent perpendicular to the bottom panel 102' as having the end panel 111 'and the end panel 115'. The smaller tongues 124 'and 125' have adhered to the inner surface of the end panel 115 ', while the smaller tongues 123' and 126 'have adhered to an inner surface of the end panel 111' so that the panels 119 '- 122 'squares extend diagonally through the corners of the inside of the cardboard box, acting as stacking support structures. (See panel 120 'arranged in Figure 32). In an embodiment in which this carton 100 'is wrapped around a load, after the load has been placed and the front and rear side panels have been folded, the first and second panels 135'-137A above can be bent . In particular, the corner panels 138 '-141' are bent over the positions parallel to the bottom wall 102 '. Then, first overlap panels 152 '-155' are bent towards the parallel positions a and the outer surfaces of the panels 103 ', 104 'laterals. Second overlap panels 156 '-159' are then folded perpendicular to the first overlap panels 152 '-155' and adhere to the externally confronting surfaces of the end panel 111 'and end panel 115'. The cardboard box 100 'is a self-closing cardboard box, since the stacking tabs 172' -175 'are provided with notches that couple the end edge regions of the slots 168' -171 'of the second panels 137. 'and 137A higher. .. Figures 33-34 illustrate a modality having an upper part of two panels. The cardboard box 200 'is formed of a template 201', which is preferably bilaterally symmetrical, in the form of the embodiment of Figures 31 and 32. Again, for a corrugated cardboard template, the preferred direction of the grooves it is indicated by the double arrow in Figure 36. The template 201 'includes lower panels 202'; side panels 203 ', 204'; lines 205 ', 206' of pleats, which are interrupted by the cuts 207 ', 208' and 209 ', 210', respectively; the panel 211 'end; fold line 212 '; interrupted by cuts 213 ', 214' and panel 215 '; fold line 216 'interrupted by cuts 217', 218 '; panels 219 '-222' acartelados; smaller tongues 223 '-226'; lines 227 '-234' of fold; first panels 235 ', 236' upper; second panels 237 ', upper 237A; upper corner panels 238'-241 '; fold line 242 ', interrupted by ventilation hole 243' and matrix cutting tabs 214 ', 245'; fold line 246 ', interrupted by vent hole 247' and tab 248 ', 249' cut on matrix; lines 250 ', 251' of fold; 252 '-255' overlapping panels; lines 260 '-263 fold. The template 202 'also includes slots 268' -271 ', which are configured to receive or fit over the engaged tabs 272'- 275', as shown in Figure 37. The side panels 203 ', 204' may also include holes 276 ', 277' of inspection and lines 280'-283 'of separation, which as in the embodiment of Figures 33-32, can be perforations or through cuts, with the corresponding modes of operation as discussed in that embodiment. The carton 200 'of Figures 33-34 is formed and fixed itself in substantially the same way as the carton of Figures 31-32, except that there are only overlapping panels 252' -255 ', which must adhering to the outer facing surfaces of the side panels 203 ', 204', to stay in place there. The closing of the upper panels is achieved in the same way as the modality of Figures 31-32. Figures 35-36 illustrate a tray covered with integral lid structure. Again, for a corrugated cardboard template, the preferred direction of the grooves is indicated by the double arrow in Figure 35. The tray 300 'is formed of template 301' (preferably bilaterally symmetrical), which includes the lower panel 302 '; outer side panels 303 ', 304'; lines 305 'of fold interrupted by slots 306', 307 'of matrix cut; fold lines 308 ', interrupted by slots 309', 310 'of matrix cut; panels 311 ', 312' ends; lines 313 'of fold interrupted by ventilation hole 314'; line 315 'of crease interrupted by ventilation hole 316'; interior side panels 317 ', 318'; lines 319 '-322' of network fold; tongue 322A-325 '; fold lines 326 '-329'; folding panels 330'- 333 '; the smaller tabs 334 '-337' of inner side panel; lines 338 '-345' of crease; upper corner panels 346'-349 '; first panels 350 '-353' of overlap; second panels 354 '-357' of overlap; lines 358 '-361' of crease; lines 362 '-365' of crease; panels 366 ', 367' upper; notches 368 '-371'; ventilation holes 372 '-379'; and lines 380 '-381 fold. In addition, the template 301 'includes line 390' -393 'of clearance which may be perforations or through cuts as in the embodiment of Figures 29-30, with similar modes of operation as discussed. When the inner side panels are bent, the nets connecting the inner side panels and the outer side panels of the stacking tabs, the upper edges of which are defined by the fold lines 319 '-322'.
The covered tray 300 'is formed by folding outer side panels 303', 304 'perpendicular to the lower panel 302' while folding the panels 311 ', 312' ends perpendicular to the lower part 302 '.

The carton 900 'is substantially similar to the carton 700', but by the addition of the second overlapping panels 948 '-951', which adhere to the outer surfaces of the side panels 907 ', 908' . Figures 77-78 illustrate the steps in a method for establishing a cardboard box, as it can be made from the template of Figures 49-50. These methods can be performed using appropriately modified carton forming machinery as is known in the art, and such modifications can be easily accomplished by one of ordinary skill in the art, having the present description in mind. The stages are as follows: I. A flat template is indexed in a training station from the top of a stack of templates. II. The template is indexed laterally as adhesive is applied to the interior surfaces of panels 903 ', 904', 948 '-951' and 940 '-943', particularly in a series of parallel gum lines, extending in one direction parallel to the direction of the grooves (as shown by the double arrow). In panels 903 ', 904', 'the gum lines can be placed near the top and top of those panels (as seen in Figure 49), but not along the middle regions of those panels , if desired. III. A mandrel pushes the template through a training chamber in a compression section. IV. In a secondary training station, the upper panels and the first overlapping panels are folded while the second overlapping panels are hinged and hinged.
V. When a new cardboard box is received in the formation chamber, the newly formed cardboard box is discharged from the compression section on a mechanical collection conveyor. SAW. The formed cartons are pushed towards a discharge tube from a box formation space located on an upper floor to a production floor of a production facility. 's VII. The cardboard boxes move laterally, for example, at shoulder height, on a conveyor belt, passing the manual packing stations. VIII. A worker selects an empty cardboard box from the conveyor belt, and places the cardboard box in the worker's packing station, for example, at waist or thigh height. IX. The upper front closing tab is removed (breaking perforations when necessary) to open the carton for packaging. X. The product, such as Cryovac ~ wrapped meat cuts are packed in the open cardboard box. XI. The filled carton is pushed on a pick-up conveyor to a sealing device, such as a Top Sealer & Lateral Elliott, or a Pearson side-tab sealer or a side-tab sealer from Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation.
XII. The grooves are applied to the top panel and the upper front closure tabs are sealed with hot melt adhesive. XIII. The cardboard boxes are then transported, for example, by roller conveyor to a manual tray placing area. Tray loads are constructed, transferred by forklift to temporary storage, and then transported to customers when required. In the modality of Figures 51-52, cardboard box
1000 'is formed by template 1001, to create a simple top panel cardboard box. For a corrugated cardboard template, the preferred direction of the grooves is indicated by the double arrow in Figure 51. The template 1001 'includes lower panel 1002'; end panel 1003 '; panel 1004 'end (rear); lines 1005 ', 1006' of fold; side panels 1007 ', 1008'; lines 1009 ', 1010' of crease; folding panels 1011 '-1014'; lines 1015 '-1018' of crease; smaller tabs 1019 '-1022'; lines 1024 '-1027' of crease; panel 1028 'upper part; line 1029 'of crease; tongue 1030 ', 1031' of side closure superJsor; lines 1032 ', 1033' of folds (or perforation lines); cuts 1034 ', 1035'; upper corner panels 1036 ', 1037'; perforations or cuts 1038 ', 1039' through; first 1040 ', 1041' overlapping panels; lines 1059 ', 1060' of fold; perforations 1042 ', 1043'; tongue 1044 'upper front closure; lines 1045 'of fold; second panels 1046 '-1049' of overlap; lines 1050 '-1053' of crease; hole 1054 ', 1056' of inspection; and vent opening 1057 ', 1058'. The carton 1000 'is formed by placing the side panels 1007', 1008 'perpendicular to the bottom panel 1002'. Tab 1019 '-1022' smaller are fixed to inner surfaces of end panel 1003 '(front) and end panel 1004' (rear). The closure of the carton 1000 'is folded by folding the panel 1028' upper to a position parallel to the panel 1002 'infrior. At this point, the upper panel 1028 'still joins along the perforations 1042' and 1043 'to the first overlapping panels 104.0', 1041 '. The first overlapping panels 1040 ', 1041' are fixed to the outer surfaces of the side panels 1007 ', 1008' with the second overlapping panels 1046'-1049 'being fixed to the outer surfaces of the end panel 1003' (front) and panel 1004 'end (rear). The upper front closure tab 1044 'is fixed to the outer surface of the end panel (front) 1003'. In addition, the upper side closure panels 1030 'and 1031' adhere to the outer surfaces of the side panels 1007 'and 1008'. The opening of the carton 1000 'is achieved by detaching the upper front closure panel 1044', and the upper side closure panels 1030 'and 1031' (or by tearing their respective fold lines / perforations), and tearing the perforations 1042 'and 1043'. The embodiment of Figures 53-54 is a carton 1100 'provided with an open panel upper part, and which is formed of the template 1101' (preferably bilaterally symmetrical).

As mentioned, the carton 1900 'is substantially identical in structure and mode of operation to the carton 1900'. The carton 1800 'of Figures 73-74 is substantially identical to the carton 1800' of Figures 67-68, except that the template 1801"is provided with second overlapping panels 1891 '-1894', as length of lines 1895 '-1898' of crease, and the shortening of panels 1847 '-1850' as compared to panels 1847'-1850 'in template 1801' Although processes to form and pack cartons, cardboard is provided specifically for the embodiments of Figures 28-30 and 49-50, it will be understood that someone of ordinary skill in the art who, has the present description before the same, may easily be able to modify the box modification equipment. existing cardboard, using ordinary design and engineering skills for the purposes of forming and subsequently sealing the cartons of each of the embodiments, without departing from the scope of the present invention, and without extensive experimentation. The designs of the carton of Figures 29-78 of the present invention allow the carton to be completely formed with all vertical inner and outer tabs and any tabs attached to seal and properly form for maximum stacking performance, but will allow a portion of the upper (horizontal) tabs separating from the outer outer end tabs so that access to the cavity of the carton can be achieved for loading the product. Additional design features incorporated into the separate upper tab feature allow the upper tabs to be sealed or fixed in position as desired after the product has been loaded. As described in this, and among the critical characteristics that allow the cardboard boxes of Figures 29-78, to perform well is the strategic use of slits or perforations that separate the upper horizontal panel (tab) from the end tabs of a tray or from wrapper that has completely overlapping end tabs. These fully overlapping vertical end tabs may include additional (secondary) tabs that provide additional corner structures for added stack strength. Through the use of slits or notches (notch), this allows the forming machine to completely establish stacking characteristics of the carton (completely overlapping inner and outer tabs and the inner and outer smaller tabs where it can be applied) , but allows the horizontal upper tabs to remain free or only to be joined slightly (in notches) to the extreme tabs. This allows a user access to the cavity of the cardboard box for loading the products through their manual interconnection, man-machine, or automatic methods. In the situation in which a recess is used to separate the upper and end structures, the carton can be effectively formed with the upper tabs left in a vertical position in the unloading of the forming machine. In the situation where notches are used, keep the upper and end panels connected, the upper tabs are in a horizontal or closed position with the discharge from the machine and open through breaking of the notches (either manually or mechanically) , when desired. The final seal or closure is achieved with special features, such as slit and tongue mechanisms, or through the use of additional material removed from the vertical end tabs and left attached to the upper horizontal tabs (such as a tab), the which is glued to the outer walls of the container to facilitate final closure when desired. These features, among others, allow this strategic use of the upper tab panel, while protecting the important functions of the extreme tabs, can be applied to a number of container designs, as shown in the accompanying description and drawings. The cardboard boxes of Figures 79-84 are preferably made of paper, cardboard and / or corrugated cardboard, although other materials having similar performance characteristics can be employed, as desired or dictated by the requirements of a particular application. When each of the templates of Figures 79-84 is discussed, it will be understood that the panels that form the corner support structures may come from the panels that are larger, shorter or of the same length as the panels being formed. they extend perpendicularly to them (in the formed cardboard box), so the terms "lateral" and "extreme" do not mean that they have any binding or constrictive meaning with respect to the relative lengths of the sides of the cardboard boxes, when they are formed. Also, in each of the following embodiments, the preferred manufacturing methods involve the formation of panels of the corner structures being bent and glued before the panels (which come from the corner structure panels) are perpendicular to the panels. lower panels. This can be a preferred panel folding order, for mechanized manufacturing systems. However, in alternative embodiments, the folding of the corner structure panels can be done after the panels from which the corner support structure panels proceed, have been folded up, perpendicular to the lower panel. Such an alternative process can be done manually, at least if not mechanically. When it refers to the plant illustrations of the templates, the usual drawing conventions for the illustration of the cardboard box templates made of paper, cardboard and / or corrugated cardboard, as is normally used in the art, are applied. That is, unless otherwise noted, dashed lines indicate streaks, crease lines or other fragile lines such as perforations.; Scalloped lines indicate brittle lines that form a detachment strip or similar structure; and solid lines inside or extending from the edge of a template, indicate through cuts.
