Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a retail box and a method of making a retail box. Retail boxes in accordance with the present disclosure can be manufactured beginning with a moisture impermeable paper or substrate, which is rolled on a core. Two halves of the box, or “half-boxes,” are first produced, and then brought together to form a complete box. The corners of the complete box can be sealed with a caulk or other sealing material to form a moisture impermeable container.
Claims14
A folding carton, comprising:
- a single ply first half-box formed from a blank;
- a single ply second half-box formed from a blank, wherein the single ply second half-box is opposite from the single ply first half-box;
- a first at least two ply side, including a first portion of the single ply first half-box bonded to a first portion of the single ply second half-box;
- a second at least two ply side, including a second portion of the single ply first half-box bonded to a second portion of the single ply second half-box, wherein the second at least two ply side is opposite from the first at least two ply side;
- a third at least two ply side, including a third portion of the single ply first half-box bonded to a third portion of the single ply second half-box;
- a fourth at least two ply side, including a fourth portion of the single ply first half-box bonded to a fourth portion of the single ply second half-box, wherein the fourth at least two ply side is opposite from the third at least two ply side;
- a first dust flap and a second dust flap extending from the first portion of the single ply first half-box, the second portion of the single ply first half-box, the first portion of the single ply second half-box, and the second portion of the single ply second half-box;
- wherein the first dust flap and the second dust flap are configured to provide two dust flap-sized, three ply areas on the first at least two ply side, the second at least two ply side, the third at least two ply side, and the fourth at least two ply side;
- and
- wherein adjacent three ply areas are positioned at an intersection of the first at least two ply side and the third at least two ply side, an intersection of the first at least two ply side and the fourth at least two ply side, an intersection of the second at least two ply side and the third at least two ply side, and an intersection of the second at least two ply side and the fourth at least two ply side.
