Abstract
A packaging box is formed by a bottom surface member disposed at the side of a bottom surface of goods to be packaged, and a top surface member disposed at the side of a top surface of the goods to be packaged. The bottom surface member includes a base panel, side panels formed extending integrally from the base panel and further shaped to correspond to side surfaces of the goods to be packaged. An attachment panel extends integrally from the end of each side panel. The top surface member and base panel typically include corrugations. The corrugations in each item are preferably oriented generally transverse to one another, thereby increasing the strength of the structure without requiring additional material.
Claims16
A packaging box in combination with a stack of sheets, the stack including a top surface, a bottom surface, and a number of side surfaces, the packaging box comprising:
- a bottom surface member having a base panel formed substantially in the same shape as the bottom surface of the stack of sheets;
- a plurality of side panels, each respectively having an inner contact surface and a pair of end surfaces, such that a pair of edge portions are respectively formed at an intersection of the inner contact surface and the pair of end surfaces, the side panels correspond in number to the number of side surfaces of the stack of sheets, and each side panel extends integrally from the base panel and is substantially the same shape as a corresponding one of the side surfaces of the stack of sheets;
- and
- a top surface member having dimensions which are substantially equal to dimensions of the top surface of the stack of sheets,
- wherein when the side panels are brought into contact with the corresponding side of the stack of sheets, the only contact panels between adjacent side panels is between respective edge portions of adjacent side panels.
A packaging box in combination with a stack of sheets, the stack including a top surface, a bottom surface, and a number of side surfaces, the packaging box comprising:
- a bottom surface member having a base panel formed substantially in the same shape as the bottom surface of the stack sheets;
- a plurality of side panels which correspond in number to the number of side surfaces of the stack of sheets, each side panel extends integrally from the base panel and is substantially the same shape as a corresponding one of the side surfaces of the stack of sheets;
- a top surface member having dimensions which are substantially equal to dimensions of the top surface of the stack of sheets;
- and
- an attachment flap which integrally extends from each side panel, the attachments flaps respectively have a pair of end surfaces;
- wherein respective end surfaces of adjacent attachment flaps contact each other when each attachment flap is folded so as to be parallel with the top surface of the stack of sheets, such that the adjacent attachment flaps do not overlap each other.
A packaging box in combination with a stack of sheets, the stack including a top surface, a bottom surface, and a number of side surfaces, the packaging box comprising:
- a bottom surface member having a base panel formed substantially in the same shape as the bottom surface of the stack of sheets;
- a plurality of side panels which correspond in number to the number of side surfaces of the stack of sheets, each side panel extends integrally from the base panel and is substantially the same shape as a corresponding one of the side surfaces of the stack of sheets;
- a top surface member having dimensions which are substantially equal to dimensions of the top surface of the stack of sheets;
- an attachment flap integrally extending from each side panel;
- and
- a fixing member for maintaining the shape of the packaging box, the fixing member being provided only on the top surface member.
