Abstract
A blank to form an insert connected to an outer box, the blank including a first side; a second side positioned opposite the first side; a first main panel adjacent to a first support formation; a second main panel adjacent to the first support formation; a third main panel adjacent to the second main panel; a second support formation adjacent to the third main panel; a fourth main panel adjacent to the second support formation; and a connection panel adjacent to the fourth main panel.
Claims11
A blank to form an insert connected to an outer box, the blank comprising:
- a first main panel adjacent to a first support formation;
- a second main panel adjacent to the first support formation;
- a third main panel adjacent to the second main panel;
- a second support formation adjacent to the third main panel;
- a fourth main panel adjacent to the second support formation;
- and
- a connection panel adjacent to the fourth main panel;
- wherein
- the first support formation defines:
- a first support panel adjacent to the first main panel at a first bend line;
- a second support panel adjacent to the first support panel at a second bend line;
- and
- a third support panel adjacent to the second support panel at a third bend line, the third support panel adjacent to the second main panel at a fourth bend line;
- and
- the second support formation defines:
- a fourth support panel adjacent to the third main panel at a fifth bend line;
- a fifth support panel adjacent to the fourth support panel at a sixth bend line;
- and
- a sixth support panel adjacent to the fifth support panel at a seventh bend line, the sixth support panel adjacent to the fourth main panel at an eighth bend line.
A method of arranging a blank into an insert comprising:
- bending a first main panel of the blank with respect to a first support panel of the blank;
- bending a second support panel of the blank with respect to the first support panel, the second support panel adjacently positioned between the first support panel and a third support panel;
- bending the second support panel with respect to the third support panel;
- bending a second main panel of the blank with respect to the third support panel, the third support panel adjacently positioned between the second main panel and the second support panel;
- bending a third main panel of the blank with respect to the second main panel;
- bending a fourth support panel of the blank with respect to the third main panel of the blank, the third main panel adjacently positioned between the fourth support panel and the second main panel;
- bending a fifth support panel of the blank with respect to the fourth support panel;
- bending a sixth support panel of the blank with respect to the fifth support panel, the fifth support panel adjacently positioned between the sixth support panel and the fourth support panel;
- bending a fourth main panel of the blank with respect to the sixth support panel;
- and
- bending a connection panel of the blank with respect to the fourth main panel to create the insert, the fourth main panel adjacently positioned between the connection panel and the sixth support panel.
