94 results about "Reusable packaging" patented technology

Reusable packaging is manufactured of durable materials and is specifically designed for multiple trips and extended life. A reusable package or container is “designed for reuse without impairment of its protective function.” The term returnable is sometimes used interchangeably but it can also include returning packages or components for other than reuse: recycling, disposal, incineration, etc. Typically, the materials used to make returnable packaging include steel, wood, polypropylene sheets or other plastic materials.

Packaging material and containers formed therefrom

The flexible, reusable packaging container of the present invention is comprised of a packaging material. The packaging material is comprised of one or more layers of coating disposed on one or more layers of textile substrate. The coating layer may be comprised of a stiffening agent for providing support to the packaging container. The stiffening agent may provide a gas and / or liquid impermeable barrier between the contents of the container and the textile substrate. The stiffening agent may also include chemicals which impart antifungal or antibacterial properties to container. The textile substrate typically provides an aesthetically pleasing feel and appearance to the outside of the packaging container, as well as providing functional attributes such as water repellence, stain resistance, and / or anti-static resistance. The resulting packaging container possesses increased strength, puncture resistance, and resistance to de-lamination over the current paper or plastic packaging containers.

Reclosable pack

A resealable container is provided having a container opening and a rim and a multilayer film covering the container opening and the rim. The multilayer film contains at least an outer layer, a sealing layer facing the rim and a layer of adhesive between the outer layer and the sealing layer. The sealing layer is secured around the rim and contains a weak spot such that when the resealable container is first opened a double bead of said sealing layer remains on the rim in the region of the weak spot. Such resealable containers have improved tear-open behavior and resealability.

Reusable container for retail display of electric cable components

InactiveUS20060249522A1Reduce manufacturing costSimplified and easy storagePackage recyclingCapsEngineeringElectric cables
A packaging assembly is provided for storing and merchandising electric components, such as electrical cables. Until now, cables and other electrical components have typically in disposable container, which were generally not reusable, and often require knives or tools to open, risking damage and injury. However, to combat problems associated with conventional devices and techniques, an easy-to-use reusable packaging assembly is employed. The packaging assembly utilizes a box and a lid that are coupled together with latch assemblies. Then, a sheath can slidably engage the box and lid to allow for, ease of marketing. The combination then allows for easy storage and mechanizing for cables that has not become available until now.

Returnable packaging system for elongated members

A returnable and reusable packaging and storage system for elongated members, such as awnings. The system includes a container upon which a series of tubular members are stacked. Each tubular member is adapted to slidably receive an elongated member and allows individual elongated members to be removed from the stack of tubular members regardless of their vertical position within the stack. Spacers are attached to the elongated members that are shorter than the tubular member holding the elongated member, so that the combined spacer-elongated members are accessible from either end of the tubular member. The tubular members project in a cantilever fashion from the container, the projecting ends being protected and supported by end bags. The end bags preclude the tubular members, as well as the elongated members therein, from moving longitudinally, and thereby prevent the awnings from sliding out of the tubular members during the shipment and storage thereof.

Reusable environmentally friendly package and storage album

A reusable package and storage album (1) displays and stores a multi-component product, combining the appearance of a blister pak with the security of a vacuformed clamshell package. Two sections (17 &19) joined by hinges (43 &45) to a spine (21), formed principally of plastic (11) and paperboard (9) materials, fold into a book or album-like structure to house the product components. Ample advertising space (9) is available on the exterior (3, 2, 21) and interior (23) surfaces for a layer of printed matter (13). The album type storage (17, 37, 19, 23) is helpful, discourages disposal of the packaging, which aids the environment, and allows manufacturer advertising and other printed information to persist beyond the sale. Hinges (43, 45) comprise an inverted rectangular U-shape in section in geometry. Windows (5, 7, 12) may be included to allow a view of the components. A window (5) formed in one album section (17) may be recessed to also prevent a component in the other album section (19) from flopping about when handling the package.

Adjustable, reusable packing crate

ActiveUS20150034636A1Conveniently reusedConveniently and economically storedPackage recyclingLarge containersEngineeringCrate
An adjustable reusable modular packaging crate and assembly kit is purposed for safe transportation of preferably mostly two-dimensional items. Several latching corner subassemblies each hold two perpendicular frame extensions that may be locked into adjustable lengths to make crate frame sides. Sets of adjustable clamps interact with the item to be shipped and the crate frame, to assist in securing the item to be shipped. Extendable frame components allow for a frame that adjusts precisely to the size of the item to be shipped. Frame locks securely fix the dimensions of the packaging crate. Gusset subassemblies and cross-corner struts add rigidity to the crate. Corner, frame, strut, and gusset components interlock to create a rigid packaging crate. Frame links enable crate frame sides to be connected side-by-side, adding to the depth of the crate frame. The modular crate may be easily disassembled for low-space storage between uses, and easily reassembled for reuse.
