BLANK, PACKAGING AND METHOD FOR USING SUCH

摘要

A mechanism for mitigating against bowing apart or pillowing of first and second spaced and interconnected panels of a package formed from sheet material, which first and second spaced panels are spaced and interconnected by further panels, the mechanism comprising:(i) a line of separation (354) formed in the first panel and arranged such that two regions (312a, 312b) of the first panel are formed: a first region disposed substantially on one side of the line of separation; and a second region disposed substantially on the other side of the line of separation; the line of separation terminating within the first region (312b) and being directed towards the second region (312a); and (ii) a line of demarcation (350, 352) formed in the second panel and arranged such that two regions (312a, 312b) of the second panel are formed: a first region disposed substantially on one side of the line of demarcation (350, 352); and a second region (312a) disposed substantially on the other side of the line of demarcation (350, 352); the line of demarcation (350, 352) being directed towards the first region (312b); whereby, upon a compressive force being applied to said further panels, the first and second panels may bow outwardly away from one another only in the second region and the line of separation and line of demarcation together prevent or mitigate against the first and second panels from bowing outwardly away from one another in the first region.
