A bicycle packaging comprising:
- a first packaging body formed as a first blank, the first blank comprising a first top panel, a first bottom panel, a first side panel, a primary tab, and a first end panel assembly, the first top panel connected to the first side panel at a first bend line, the first bottom panel connected to the first side panel at a second bend line opposite the first bend line, the first end panel assembly connected to the first side panel at a third bend line, the primary tab extending from an outward edge of the first top panel opposite the first bend line, a secondary slot formed at the outward edge;
- and
- a second packaging body formed as a second blank, the second blank comprising a second top panel, a second bottom panel, a second side panel, a secondary tab, and a second end panel assembly, the second top panel connected to the second side panel at a fourth bend line, the second bottom panel connected to the second side panel at a fifth bend line opposite the fourth bend line, the second end panel assembly connected to the second side panel at a sixth bend line, the secondary tab connected to the second side panel and configured to engage the secondary slot, a primary slot formed at the fourth bend line and configured to receive the primary tab;
- wherein the first end panel assembly extends from the first side panel of the first blank to the second side panel of the second blank and covers a first end of the bicycle packaging, and the second end panel assembly extends from the second side panel of the second blank to the first side panel of the first blank and covers a second end of the bicycle packaging opposite the first end.
A method of assembling a bicycle packaging comprising:
- providing a first packaging body formed as a first blank, the first packaging body comprising a first side panel, a first end panel assembly coupled to and extending from the first side panel, a first top panel connected to the first side panel at a first bend line, and a primary tab extending from an outward edge of the first top panel distal to the first bend line;
- providing a second packaging body formed as a second blank, the second packaging body comprising a second side panel, a second end panel assembly coupled to and extending from the second side panel, a second top panel connected to the second side panel at a second bend line, and a secondary tab connected to the second side panel;
- engaging the primary tab with a primary slot formed at the second bend line;
- and
- engaging the secondary tab with a secondary slot formed at the outward edge of the first top panel;
- wherein the first end panel assembly extends across a first end of the bicycle packaging from the first side panel of the first blank to the second side panel of the second blank, and the second end panel assembly extends across a second end of the bicycle packaging from the second side panel of the second blank to the first side panel of the first blank.
