Sliding box packaging

A method of manufacturing a sliding box packaging, wherein the method comprises the steps of:

• from a first blank, forming an outer sleeve comprising a plurality of outer sleeve walls;
• from a second blank, forming an inner tray being slidable relative to the outer sleeve and configured to host one or more products, wherein the inner tray comprises a plurality of inner tray walls;
• providing locking means comprising:
• an outer locking tab, extending from the outer sleeve walls and being folded inwards, or being fixed inside the outer sleeve to one of the outer sleeve walls;
• and
• at least two inner locking tabs extending from one of the inner tray walls and being folded outwards;
• wherein the two inner locking tabs engage with the outer locking tab to prevent sliding movement of the inner tray when the inner tray is fully inserted into the outer sleeve. the fully inserted position preventing access to the products;
• providing at least two activating tabs at the locking means cutout from the outer sleeve wall coupled to the outer locking tab;
• and
• pressing the two activating tabs, thereby disengaging the two inner locking tabs from the outer locking tab, so as to permit sliding movement of the inner tray.
