A method is disclosed for forming a covered cardboard container from a single template. The template is configured such that, when side panels are lifted off the top face of the template, a front panel and rear panel are lifted together with the side panels. The container is formed when the two side panels, the front panel and the rear panel are all in a substantially vertical position.

The container is formed when the two side panels, the front panel and the rear panel are all in a substantially vertical position.
After the container is formed it is filled with product, such as apples, pears, avocados, and the like. The container has two top panels that are folded over the product and adhered to one another to form a lid. Score lines in the top panel allow the container to accommodate products of varying size.

A method is disclosed for forming a covered cardboard container from a single template (400). The template is configured such that, when side panels (411A, 411B) are lifted off the top face of the template, a front panel (403A) and rear panel (403B) are lifted together with the side panels (411A, 411B). The container is formed when the two side panels (411A, 411B), the front panel (403A) and the rear panel (403B) are all in a substantially vertical position. After the container is formed it is filled with product, such as apples, pears, avocados, and the like. The container has two top panels (412A, 412B) that are folded over the product and adhered to one another to form a lid. Score lines in the top panel allow the container to accommodate products of varying size.
B65D 5/24 - Rigid or semi-rigid containers of polygonal cross-section, e.g. boxes, cartons or trays, formed by folding or erecting one or more blanks made of paper by folding-up portions connected to a central panel from all sides to form a container body, e.g. of tray-like form with adjacent sides interconnected by gusset folds
B31B 50/78 - Opening and distending flattened articles mechanically
B65B 5/02 - Machines characterised by incorporation of means for making the containers or receptacles
B65B 43/28 - Opening or distending bags; Opening, erecting, or setting-up boxes, cartons, or carton blanks by grippers co-operating with fixed supports
B65B 43/34 - Opening or distending bags; Opening, erecting, or setting-up boxes, cartons, or carton blanks by internal pressure
A method is disclosed for forming a windowed packaging material. According to the method a web of packaging material is cut in substantially the machine direction along a non-linear path. The cutting action provides two subwebs, each having protruding edge portions and recessed edge portions. The two subwebs are displaced relative to one another so that the protruding edge portions face one another. In this configuration opposing recessed edge portions form windows. The two subwebs are adhered to one another at the opposing protruding edge portions. The resulting windows may be covered with a material that is transparent and/or breathable. A strip of handle material may be applied spanning the respective windows.
