Foldable containers

摘要

Embodiments of foldable containers, such as foldable, plastic, produce containers, and related methods. In some embodiments, a substantially planar sheet for folding into a three-dimensional container may be provided comprising a plurality of side portions, each side portion comprising opposing flaps positioned on opposite sides. Each of the side portions may comprise opposing flaps, some of which may comprise tabs extending therefrom to be used for coupling with an adjacent side portion during a folding process. One or more of the side portions may also, or alternatively, comprise a stacking tab and/or a stacking tab receiving opening. The stacking tabs may be configured to be positioned within a stacking tab receiving opening of an adjacent container after the sheet has been folded into a three-dimensional container.

主权项

1. A substantially planar sheet for folding into a container, comprising:
a first side portion comprising opposing flaps positioned on opposite sides of the first side portion, wherein the opposing flaps of the first side portion each comprises at least one tab extending therefrom; a second side portion positioned adjacent to the first side portion and comprising opposing flaps positioned on opposite sides of the second side portion, wherein the opposing flaps of the second side portion each comprises at least one tab receiving opening configured to receive a tab from the first side portion, wherein the second side portion further comprises at least one stacking tab and at least one stacking tab receiving opening, and wherein at least one of the tabs of the first side portion extends further from the first side portion than an adjacent flap of the second side portion; a third side portion positioned adjacent to the second side portion and comprising opposing flaps positioned on opposite sides of the third side portion, wherein the opposing flaps of the third side portion each comprises at least one tab extending therefrom; and a fourth side portion positioned adjacent to the third side portion and comprising opposing flaps positioned on opposite sides of the fourth side portion, wherein the opposing flaps of the fourth side portion each comprises at least one tab receiving opening configured to receive a tab from the third side portion,
wherein the sheet is configured to be folded into a three-dimensional container,wherein the at least one stacking tab is configured to be positioned within a stacking tab receiving opening of an adjacent container after the sheet has been folded into a three-dimensional container, andwherein the at least one stacking tab receiving opening is configured to receive a stacking tab of an adjacent container after the sheet has been folded into a three-dimensional container.
