Abstract
The invention relates to a cuboid collapsible box which comprises walls (1, 2, 3, 4) and a bottom closure, having bottom closure tabs (10, 12, 13, 14) and a center web configured by web areas (20, 21), and to a cut for said box. The aim of the invention is to provide a collapsible box whose center web is reliably protected from being displaced. For this purpose, retaining surfaces (18, 19) are provided on the lateral bottom closure tabs (10, 12) on the ends facing away from the lateral walls (1, 3). The front and the rear bottom closure tab (11, 13) have notched surfaces (26, 27) and the notched surfaces (26, 27) rest on the retaining surfaces (18, 19) from below and on the lateral bottom closure tabs (10, 12) from above.
