Embodiment Construction

[0018] FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a corrugated or non-corrugated paperboard having side walls 2, 4, 6 and 8 separated by initial creases indicated by dashed lines 3, 5 and 7. FIG. The sheet also includes upper covers 12 , 14 , 16 and 18 and corresponding lower covers 22 , 24 , 26 and 28 . The cardboard in Figure 1 can be formed into a box by connecting the extension 1 to the side 1a and folding the top and bottom flaps. The assembled box has contiguous side walls, as schematically shown in FIG. 2 . The assembled box has a length L, a width W and a height H. In this particular embodiment, the box has a generally rectangular cross-section since the length is greater than the width. Square boxes, in which the boxes have the same length and width but can vary in height, as well as boxes of other geometric shapes are within the scope of the invention.

[0019] Figure 3 is a perspective view of the assembled box of Figure 2 in a collapsed state; the collapsed box has an initial...

Abstract

The folded collapsed boxes containing substantially no open gaps are provided. A plurality of different size folded collapsed boxes can be bundled together to yield a display that has the maximum number of folded collapsed boxes displayed thus conserving space.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to folding boxes. In particular, the present invention relates to a cartridge that is folded in such a way that its specific volume remains constant from the initial collapsed state to the final folded state. The folding box is substantially free of open gaps. Background technique [0002] There are many folding boxes and methods of folding boxes disclosed in the prior art, but most of them bring open gaps into the folded box. Since the open gap increases the volume of the folding box, space utilization is reduced, especially on shelf space on display racks in retail stores. [0003] To maximize shelf space, boxes need to be folded more efficiently. Contents of the invention [0004] In one aspect, the invention relates to a method of folding a box. The method comprises the steps of: (1) providing a squashed box having an initial specific volume and an initial occupied area; (2) folding the squashed box to form at least two ...
