The self-folding pizza packaging box with the compartments and carry handle belongs to the area of transport packaging. The box (1) is made of the folded blank (A), formed by folding and gluing into a flat form of the box (1), and is formed from the upright surfaces in a vertical position. The box (1) is made in the form of a prism with bases (2, 3), parallel lateral panels (4, 4′′), while its other two parallel sides are rectangular flaps (5). The box (1) is formed by folding upwards the lateral panels (4, 4′) of the rectangular shape along the folding lines (2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2), by straightening the flaps (9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4) which are continued to the lateral panels (4, 4′) and by folding upwards the rectangular parts of the flaps (5) along the folding lines (2.3) so that it is brought to a vertical position to the bases (2, 3) of the rhomboid shape. By folding upwards the lateral panels (4, 4′) the rhomboid compartments (6, 7) are also straightened, they are pulled in towards the inside of the box (1) in relation to the outer edges of the filling opening. On the flap (5) whose longer side is the folding line (5.1), a cutting line (5.2) is made in which the flap (8) is inserted, made in the middle of the other two parallel sides of the base (3) along the folding line (8.3), thus sealing the box (1) is provided. After putting six slices of pizza, the whole pizza, into the box and closing it, the carry handle (10) is inserted into the box (1) so that the parts (10.3) are inserted between the rectangular parts of the flap (5) and the flaps (9.2, 9.4), the parts (10.2).) rest on the lateral panels (4, 4′), and the part (10.1) is placed diagonally on the surface of the base (3). The application (contain the embodiment of the box (1) which is the folded blank (A1).
A self-folding box for packing pizzas with compartments, which is formed from a folded blank, comprising a prism shape with a pair of rhomboid bases each having opposing acute angles and opposing obtuse angles, two parallel rectangular lateral panels forming a first pair of opposing sides, with two rectangular flaps forming a second pair of opposing sides, defining a cavity, wherein the two parallel rectangular lateral panels extend between opposing parallel folding lines at each rhomboid base, each of the two parallel rectangular lateral panels having opposing upright flaps extending therefrom, and two rectangular flaps extending from opposing folding lines from a first of the pair of rhomboid bases, wherein the two parallel rectangular lateral panels, the opposing upright flaps and the rectangular flaps are perpendicular to the pair of rhomboid bases, with a shelving portion formed by a pair of rhomboid surfaces, a first of the pair of rhomboid surfaces coupled to a first one of the pair of rhomboid bases through a first joining surface defining a pair of parallel fold lines, a second of the pair of rhomboid surfaces coupled to the first one of the pair of rhomboid bases through a second joining surface defining a second pair of parallel fold lines, with a third joining surface extending from the second one of the pair of rhomboid bases opposite the second joining surface with the first joining surface being attached to a first of the two parallel rectangular lateral panels, with the second joining surface being attached to a second of the two parallel rectangular lateral panels and the third joining surface being attached to one of the first of the two parallel rectangular lateral panels and the first joining surface, thereby forming three compartments within the cavity, wherein the two rectangular flaps each include a semicircular portion extending therefrom opposite the first of the pair rhomboid base at opposing flap fold lines, each flap fold line having a cut portion therealong, and the second of the pair of rhomboid surfaces having opposing flaps extending therefrom each extendable through a respective one of the cut portions.
