Folded cardboard box

A folded cardboard box for receiving an electric toothbrush comprising a grip portion having a relatively large cross-section and a front portion having a relatively small cross-section, the box having a longitudinal direction and comprising:

• four longitudinal wall elements surrounding an essentially rectangular elongated interior;
• a separation wall comprising a through-hole and dividing the elongated interior in the longitudinal direction into a first interior section and a second interior section, wherein the through-hole is structured and configured to accept the front portion of the electric toothbrush, so that when the toothbrush is disposed in the cardboard box, the front portion extends through the through-hole;
• a flap element located at an open end of the first interior section and having a first flap portion provided at one of the longitudinal wall elements and a second flap portion provided at an adjoining longitudinal wall element, wherein the flap element is structured and configured to be flapped from a first state in which each of the first and second flap portions are aligned with the respective wall element at which they are provided into a second state in which the flap element projects into the first interior section,
• a longitudinally extending wall portion provided at one of the longitudinal wall elements at the open end of the first interior section that is at its rear end connected to the longitudinal wall element at which it is provided by means of a seam line that allows bending of the wall portion from a first state in which it essentially extends in longitudinal direction into a second state in which the wall portion projects from the longitudinal wall element at which it is provided at about a right angle into the first interior section, and
• wherein the flap element when in its second state keeps the wall portion in its second state.
