Claims28
A storage box comprising:
- a unitary blank comprising a sidewall enclosure and a fastener panel, the sidewall enclosure folded to define a plurality of sidewalls, the sidewall enclosure defining a top edge and an opposing bottom edge, the fastener panel formed monolithically with the sidewall enclosure and extending from the bottom edge;
- and
- a tray comprising a first side panel, a second side panel, and a center panel therebetween, the fastener panel extending across a width of the center panel from the first side panel to the second side panel and coupling the tray to the sidewall enclosure, the tray defining a first side and an opposing second side, a first tray slot formed in the first side, a second tray slot formed in the second side, a first portion of the fastener panel received in the first tray slot and a second portion of the fastener panel received in the second tray slot.
A storage box comprising:
- a unitary blank comprising a sidewall enclosure, a first fastener panel, and a second fastener panel, the sidewall enclosure defining a top edge and an opposing bottom edge, the bottom edge defining a first section and an opposing second section, the first fastener panel connected to the first section at a first bend line, the second fastener panel connected to the second section at a second bend line;
- and
- a tray abutting the bottom edge of the sidewall enclosure, the tray comprising a first pair of fastener slots and a second pair of fastener slots, the first fastener panel engaging the first pair of fastener slots, the second fastener panel engaging the second pair of fastener slots.
A method for assembling a storage box comprising:
- providing a unitary blank comprising a sidewall enclosure and a fastener panel, the fastener panel connected to the sidewall enclosure at a bend line;
- folding the unitary blank to define a plurality of sidewalls;
- forming a tray, the tray comprising a first side panel, a second side panel, and a center panel therebetween, the tray defining a first slot formed in the center panel adjacent the first side panel and a second slot formed in the center panel adjacent the second side panel;
- inserting the fastener panel through the first slot;
- folding the fastener panel at the bend line and extending the fastener panel across a width of the center panel;
- and
- inserting a portion of the fastener panel through the second slot.
