The Beverage Dispensing Box for Office and Kitchen Counters is intended to hold a flexible disposable beverage bag filled with a potable liquid and dispense that liquid under pressure when the spigot is opened. The Beverage Dispensing Box is unique in that it employs the law of gravity. Through the use of a sloped container floor and a weighted pressure plate, a natural force (non-mechanical or electrical) is applied to the flexible disposable beverage bag, thus causing the potable liquid to flow from the bag under pressure at a greater gallon per minute (GPM) rate than that of a typical un-pressurized flexible disposable beverage bag—commonly found in corrugated cardboard boxes such as the Wine-in-a-Box container; and at a greater GPM rate than that of a typical 2.5 or 5 gallon bottled water dispensing apparatus. The Beverage Dispensing Box is designed to sit on office, kitchen or other countertops where no electricity is required for use. The Beverage Dispensing Box is a durable reusable container that will positively impact the environment because it will be manufactured from recycled plastic and metals; and will displace the need for disposable plastic bottles, such as bottled water.

A system whereby a collapsible box may be formed in the same way that standard cardboard boxes are made by folding a single sheet of material is provided. Square and rectangular boxes may be constructed which may be collapsed down to compact size and easily popped open. Boxes so constructed remain fully assembled with all seams and edges attached even as they are repeatedly folded and unfolded. The box may be made of corrugated cardboard or plastic and easily folded to a fraction of their open volume. The box may open instantly, and when opened, it becomes structural—that is resistant to applied loads—by “popping” certain points outwards. An element or construction that is comprised of a sheet of material that has been provided with a network of hinges such that when the element is folded its edges maintain a right angle relationship is also provided.

A machine for closing and sealing cardboard boxes or other packaging cases with random sizes of cases presented. An input gate controls passage of cases onto at least one conveyor that moves the cases through the machine. An input positioning stage centers and squares the case. A measuring station performs a primary measurement of the width and height of the open case. A closing station and tape sealing station are adjusted to the primary case size measurement. The case closing station then closes the case. The side major flaps are closed using a major flap closer with crossed arms pivoted at separated pivot axes. The sealing station has a secondary or closed case measurement detector which more accurately adjusts the tape applicator height. Lateral support heads engage the sides of the case to prevent distortion while tape is applied.
