Abstract
A construct for holding a plurality of containers, the construct having a plurality of panels including a front panel, at least one back panel, and at least one side panel extending at least partially around an interior of the construct, and divider features including at least one divider flap foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels at least partially forming at least one divider wall of the construct and forming a plurality of container receiving spaces in the interior of the construct.
Claims47
A construct for holding a plurality of containers, the construct comprising:
- a plurality of panels comprising a front panel, at least one back panel, and at least one side panel extending at least partially around an interior of the construct;
- and
- divider features comprising at least one divider flap foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels at least partially forming at least one divider wall of the construct and forming a plurality of container receiving spaces in the interior of the construct.
The construct of clam 6, wherein the attachment portion of the at least one divider flap is positioned in at least partial face-to-face contact with the front panel.
A blank for forming a construct for holding a plurality of containers, the blank comprising:
- a plurality of panels for extending at least partially around an interior of the construct and comprising a front panel, at least one back panel, and at least one side panel;
- and
- divider features comprising at least one divider flap foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels for at least partially forming at least one divider wall of the construct formed from the blank to form a plurality of container receiving spaces in the interior of the construct formed from the blank.
A method of forming a construct for holding a plurality of containers, the method comprising:
- obtaining a blank, the blank comprising a plurality of panels comprising a front panel, at least one back panel, and at least one side panel, and divider features comprising at least one divider flap foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels;
- positioning the plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the construct;
- and
- at least partially forming at least one divider wall from the at least one divider flap to form a plurality of container receiving spaces in the interior of the construct formed from the blank.
The method of clam 29, wherein at least partially forming the at least one divider wall comprises positioning the attachment portion of the at least one divider flap is positioned in at least partial face-to-face contact with the front panel.
A system, the system comprising:
- a plurality of containers;
- and
- a construct holding the plurality of containers, the construct comprising:
- a plurality of panels comprising a front panel, at least one back panel, and at least one side panel extending at least partially around an interior of the construct;
- and
- divider features comprising at least one divider flap foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels at least partially forming at least one divider wall of the construct forming a plurality of container receiving spaces in the interior of the construct.
The system of clam 41, wherein the attachment portion of the at least one divider flap is positioned in at least partial face-to-face contact with the front panel.
