Display box with retention means

Abstract

A display box is provided for housing and retaining a cylindrical container. The box may include two side walls and a front and rear wall, a top lid extending from an upper end of one of the walls and a bottom lid extending from the lower end of the same or a different wall. At least one elongate flap further extends from the lower end of one of said side walls or rear wall, said flap being provided with crease lines along which said flap may be folded. The flap has an end portion adhered to the inner surface of the wall from which the flap extends, a first lateral portion having a proximal end adjacent the wall and a distal end extending into the box. A vertical portion extends down from the distal end of the first lateral portion and a second lateral portion connects a lower end of the vertical portion and a distal end of a base portion. The length l1 of the first lateral portion is greater than the distance D1 between the inner surface of the wall from which the flap extends and the wall of a container being held in the box.
