- Milk Maid Milk Carton - The quest for a shatter-proof milk container prompted John Van Wormer to patent a paper carton in 1915. Many processors and distributors continued to use breakable glass bottles, but, after 1937, mechanized production made the disposable, wax-coated folded cartons inexpensive and indispensable liquid containers. The iconic design, a box with a gable-end top that, when opened, creates a pouring spout, remains the industry standard today.

- Milk Crate - Dairies transport their packaged products to retailers and other customers in milk crates. During the 1950s, dairies switched from wood or metal crates designed for glass bottles to molded plastic crates -- better for single-use paper and plastic cartons. The changes reduced processing and shipping costs but contributed to a growing waste problem, even though many nabbed plastic crates and reused them for storage.
