A packaging box, comprising:
- a first section including a first aperture to receive a portion of a writing device;
- a second section including a second aperture to receive a remainder of the writing device;
- a hinge mechanism coupling the first section to the second section, wherein the first section and second section are rotatable about the hinge mechanism;
- and
- a tip remover including a surface to remove a tip of the writing device responsive to application of a force;
- wherein the first aperture of the first section is defined by a first plurality of side walls extending generally parallel to the hinge mechanism, and the second aperture of the second section is defined by a second plurality of side walls extending generally parallel to the hinge mechanism.
A packaging box, comprising:
- a body defining a cavity, wherein the body includes a first section and a second section, wherein the first section includes a first aperture to receive a portion of a writing device, and wherein the second section includes a second aperture to receive a remainder of the writing device;
- a hinge mechanism coupling the first section to the second section, wherein the first section and second section are rotatable about the hinge mechanism;
- and
- a base holder stored in the cavity, wherein the base holder is to retain the first section and the second section when the body is in a folded configuration;
- wherein the base holder comprises a length approximately equal to a width of the first section and a width of the second section and comprises a width greater than a combined thickness of the first section and the second section.
A method, comprising:
- removing a base holder from a body of a packaging box, wherein the body defines a cavity that includes a first section and a second section, and wherein the first section includes a first aperture to receive a portion of a writing device and the second section includes a second aperture to receive a remainder of the writing device;
- applying a force to the first section and to the second section, causing the first section and the second section to fold about a hinge mechanism of the packaging box;
- and
- inserting an outer wall of the body in a folded configuration into the base holder.
