Company patents
Graphic Packaging International, LLC
Graphic Packaging International, LLC's patent strategy is heavily concentrated in Containers & Packaging, representing 67.3% of its portfolio, yet this core area has seen a significant decline in new filings, dropping 11.6% in 2025 and 23.0% so far in 2026 after a substantial 97.1% growth in 2024. This suggests a potential shift in R&D focus or a maturation of its primary patenting efforts, despite the continued dominance of this category.

Methods and apparatuses for creating unique package structures, such as recesses in specific materials, blister packages, or single-dose units, and for controlled dispensing of products from storage into these containers.
Design features and components integrated into containers to improve ease of carrying, handling, or transport, such as specialized handles, wheels, or adjustable elements.
Structural elements within a container designed to secure, separate, cushion, or otherwise protect individual items or groups of contents from movement, shock, or damage.
Containers or packaging components featuring active mechanisms for controlled release, preparation, or delivery of their contents, such as liquids, bulk materials, volatile compounds, or single-serve portions.
Systems and mechanisms designed for the automated movement, feeding, transfer, and destacking of products or packaging materials within a packaging line, often utilizing various types of conveyors and actuators.
Multi-layer polymer films engineered to provide superior barrier properties against gases (e.g., oxygen), moisture, or aromas, often incorporating heat-sealing or resealing mechanisms for food and product preservation.
Household articles engineered with mechanisms for folding, retracting, or collapsing to reduce their footprint, facilitate storage, or enable portability.
Packaging solutions that incorporate active components such as motors, sensors, or indicators to perform specific functions, provide feedback, or enable tracking of the container or its contents.
Technologies and methods for securely closing, sealing, and maintaining the integrity of packages, including heat sealing, vacuum sealing, strapping, and specialized closure units, often involving material interaction and atmosphere control.
Systems and methods for efficient storage, retrieval, and sorting of items within warehouses, distribution centers, or manufacturing facilities, often involving vertical lifts, high-throughput sorters, or inventory management logic.
Innovations in the physical structure, materials, support mechanisms, and operational monitoring of conveyor belts to improve durability, cleanliness, safety, or specific handling capabilities, including specialized drive mechanisms.
Systems and mechanisms designed to safely and efficiently interface transport vehicles (trucks, trailers) with loading docks or automated loading systems, including vehicle restraint, telescopic loading arms, and specialized vehicle-mounted conveyors.
