Abstract
A gift box includes a base compartment and a plurality of stacking compartments supported on a tubular sleeve. The sleeve forms a pivot axis for the stacking compartments such that the stacking compartments are independently rotatable about the pivot axis relative to the base compartment. The sleeve forms a compartment for a gift item, such as a bottle of wine, which may add rigidity to the pivot axis. The base compartment, stacking compartment, and sleeve may each be folded from a unitary sheet of recyclable material, such as corrugated fiberboard.

A gift box comprising:
- a base compartment folded from a first unitary sheet of foldable material, the base compartment having a bottom wall and further including a first pedestal supported on the bottom wall of the base compartment, the first pedestal having a first top panel with an opening, the first top panel spaced apart from the bottom wall of the base compartment;
- a stacking compartment folded from a second unitary sheet of foldable material, the stacking compartment having a bottom wall with an opening and further including a second pedestal supported on the bottom wall of the stacking compartment, the second pedestal having a second top panel spaced apart from the bottom wall of the stacking compartment and including an opening aligned with the opening in the bottom wall of the stacking compartment;
- and
- a vertically-elongate sleeve dimensioned to engage the opening on the first pedestal, the opening on the second pedestal, and the opening on the bottom wall of the stacking compartment such that the sleeve forms a pivot axis for the stacking compartment wherein the stacking compartment is supported on and independently rotatable about the pivot axis for fanning out relative to the base compartment.
