Abstract
A folding box having a lower part and a hinged lid positionable relative to the lower part to a closed position of the folding box. The lower part having a bottom wall, a plurality of side walls, and a plurality of dust flaps. At least one of the plurality of side walls has an upper edge comprising a free edge and is arranged between two adjacent side walls having an upper edge foldably connected to a dust flap. The hinged lid has a top wall foldably connected to one of the plurality of side walls and at least one insertion tab. The at least one insertion tab is for insertion into a gap between that at least one of the plurality of side walls with the free edge and the dust flaps of the two adjacent side walls when the hinged lid is in the closed position.

A folding box comprising:
- a lower part having:
- a bottom wall,
- a plurality of side walls inclined outwardly and connected to the bottom wall by respective lower fold lines, the plurality of side walls forming an opening of the lower part,
- corner joints disposed between adjacent side walls of the plurality of side walls, the corner joints each comprising two respective triangular tabs that are connected to one another at a respective central fold line, each respective triangular tab connected to a respective lateral edge of one of the adjacent side walls by an outer fold line, wherein the two respective triangular tabs are folded at the central fold line against one another and against one of the adjacent side walls and are adhesively bonded to the one of the adjacent side walls,
- a plurality of dust flaps, each connected to a respective one of the plurality of side walls by a respective upper fold line, and
- wherein at least one of the plurality of side walls has an upper edge comprising a free edge, the at least one of the plurality of side walls is arranged between two adjacent side walls each connected to a respective dust flap, and a hinged lid having
- a top wall connected to an upper edge of one of the plurality of side walls by an upper fold line, the top wall including at least one lateral edge, and
- at least one insertion tab connected to the top wall by a lateral fold line, wherein the plurality of dust flaps are arranged to be folded towards the opening of the lower part, wherein the hinged lid is arranged to be folded over the opening in a closed position, wherein in the closed position the at least one insertion tab is inserted in a gap disposed between the at least one of the plurality of side walls with the free edge and the dust flaps of the two adjacent side walls and wherein in the closed position the at least one lateral edge is convexly bent and is adjacent the upper edge.
A folding box comprising a lower part and a hinged lid positionable relative to the lower part to a closed position of the folding box,
- the lower part comprising a bottom wall, a plurality of side walls foldably connected to the bottom wall and positionable relative to the bottom wall to form an interior space of the folding box, a plurality of dust flaps each foldably connected to a respective one of the plurality of side walls, the plurality of side walls forming an opening of the interior space at respective upper edges of the plurality of side walls,
- wherein at least one of the plurality of side walls has an upper edge comprising a free edge, the at least one of the plurality of side walls arranged between two adjacent side walls each foldably connected to a respective one of a plurality of dust flaps, and
- wherein the hinged lid comprises a top wall foldably connected to of one of the plurality of side walls the hinged lid including at least one insertion tab foldably connected to the top wall and further including a plurality of lateral edges,
- wherein in the closed position the at least one insertion tab is inserted into a gap disposed adjacent one of the plurality of side walls with the free edge and between two of the plurality of dust flaps and wherein in the closed position at least one of the plurality of lateral edges of the top wall is curved and is adjacent at the least one of the plurality of side walls.
