A packaging blank assembly comprising first and second blanks.

The invention is useful for bending blanks

The blanks are shaped or contoured in such a way that mutual adhesion between the blanks of a nested stack of such blanks can be broken, thus facilitating the delivery of individual blanks from the stack.

The flanges are supported by stiffening webs (38) connected between said flanges and to said base.

The invention also concerns the resulting blanks and the packages produced from these blanks.

A subsequent flange forming station (40) forms the flanges on the edge of the material, when desired.

A blanking tool is provided for cutting blanks from a sheet of material.

The invention relates to a web (20) comprising mutually sequentially disposed package blanks (26) and an arrangement for opening and closing the package blanks.

The sheet of material includes a product area where the blanks are located, and a web area, which is the area between the blanks.

The blanking tool is coupled to the first tooling, and the shear of the blanking tool cooperates with a portion of the second tooling to cut the blanks from the material.

This invention discloses methods of manufacturing shirt blanks and shirts (10), and the shirts and blanks made therefrom.

A paperboard blank processing apparatus including a rotatably mounted processing head (36) for operating upon successive paperboard blanks is disclosed.

The stamping forms the first slug portions into handle portions of the cleaner blanks, and the second slug portions into shaft portions of the cleaner blanks.

Thus, the sequence of the leading edges on the output signal is programmable, and the sequence of the trailing edges is independently programmable.

The invention also concerns methods of working on blanks using said installation.
