Abstract
Article packaging includes a retention panel and a retention structure formed, at least in part, by the retention panel and configured to engage the article. The retention structure includes a retention surface configured to contact the article. The article packaging also includes a friction coating disposed on at least a portion of the retention surface of the retention structure. The friction coating impedes movement of the article relative to the retention panel.
Claims22
Article packaging comprising:
- a retention panel;
- a retention structure formed, at least in part, by the retention panel and configured to engage the article, wherein the retention structure comprises a retention surface configured to contact the article;
- and
- a friction coating disposed on at least a portion of the retention surface of the retention structure, wherein the friction coating impedes movement of the article relative to the retention panel.
Article packaging comprising:
- a retention panel comprising:
- a retention aperture configured to receive a portion of the article;
- and
- a plurality of retention tabs arranged around the retention aperture and configured to engage the article, wherein each one of the plurality of retention tabs comprises a retention surface configured to contact the article;
- and
- a friction coating disposed on at least a portion of the retention surface of each one of the plurality of retention tabs, wherein the friction coating impedes rotational movement of the article relative to the retention panel.
Article packaging comprising:
- a retention panel comprising a panel surface, wherein a portion of the panel surface is configured to contact an article;
- and
- a friction coating disposed on at least the portion of the panel surface configured to contact the article to form a retention surface, wherein the friction coating, forming the retention surface, impedes movement of the article relative to the retention panel.
A blank for forming a article packaging, the blank comprising:
- a retention panel;
- a retention structure formed, at least in part, by the retention panel, wherein the retention structure comprises a retention surface;
- and
- a friction coating disposed on at least a portion of the retention surface of the retention structure.
A blank for forming article packaging, the blank comprising:
- a retention panel comprising:
- a retention aperture;
- and
- a plurality of retention tabs arranged around the retention aperture, wherein each one of the plurality of retention tabs comprises a retention surface;
- and
- a friction coating disposed on at least a portion of the retention surface of each one of the plurality of retention tabs.
A blank for forming article packaging, the blank comprising:
- a retention panel comprising a panel surface;
- and
- a friction coating disposed on at least a portion of the panel surface to form a retention surface.
A method for forming article packaging, the method comprising:
- forming a retention structure, at least in part, by a retention panel of a blank, wherein the retention structure comprises a retention surface;
- and
- applying a friction coating on at least a portion of the retention surface.
A method of packaging an article, the method comprising:
- engaging the article using a retention structure formed, at least in part, by a retention panel of article packaging, wherein the retention structure comprises a retention surface that contacts the article;
- and
- impeding movement of the article relative to the retention panel using a friction coating disposed on at least a portion of the retention surface.
