Definitions

  • This invention relates to a box, for example for packaging and shipping flowers and the like, folded and set-up from a blank, said blank including a rectangular ground or base panel,four sidewalls linked to said ground or base panel by means of folding-lines, and flaps linked to said sidewalls and to each other by means of folding-lines, said flaps extending into the space enclosed by the box, there being further provided means for fixing the sidewalls relatively to each other in the set-up condition of the box.
  • the blanks can be efficiently stored in large quantities, and prior to use be set-up to form a box in a simple manner.
  • the shape of the box should of course be fixed. This can be effected in a simple manner by fixing the sidewalls in their relative positions, for example, by interconnecting the flaps. If the flaps remain interconnected at the corners between the sidewalls, the flaps remain freely rotatable relatively to the box corner with which the flap in question is connected. This has the advantage that, if the box is square, the flaps extend through the centre of the box and divide it into compartments.
  • the division into compartments is quite flexible, which greatly simplifies positioning the last bunches of flowers.
  • the flaps can be shortened by cutting out portions at the corners of the blank.
  • the flowers can also be shipped with them in water.
  • the box can be closed by providing it with a slip-over box or cover, whose height is considerably larger than the height of the sidewalls of the box. By virtue of this, the box also permits flowers being packed and shipped in it which extend above the box.
  • the sidewalls of the box and the slip-over box or cover can be provided with grip apertures which in the assembled condition or shipping condition of the box are each in registry with another in pairs, so that when the grips are engaged both the box and the slip-over box or cover are removed.
  • the slip-over box or cover has the further advantage that it can be used as a stand or display for use when selling the contents of the box.
  • the slip-over box or cover is further excellently suitable for use as an advertising surface both during transport and sale.
  • a box for packaging and shipping flowers or the like comprises a box 1 for actually containing the flowers and a slip-over box or cover 2.
  • Box 1 is folded from a square blank as shown in Fig. 5.
  • the blank is provided with four folding lines 8, respectively parallel to the four edges of the blank.
  • the folding lines 8 enclose a ground panel 10.
  • Folding lines 9, which are continuations from folding lines 8, define squares in the corners of the blank. In these squares, diagonal folding lines 7 extend from the corner point of the blank to the point where the folding lines 9 intersect.
  • Two folding lines 9 and a folding line 8 thus define a sidewall 3.
  • the box according to the invention is formed with a ground panel 10, sidewalls 3, and inwardly directed flaps 5. Flaps 5 divide the box into compartments in which bunches of flowers, not shown, can be placed (Fig. 3). The box shape can be stabilized by fixing means.
  • such fixation is effected by interconnecting flaps 5 at the corners between the sidewalls 3, so that flaps 5 remain freely rotatable relatively to the corner, thereby creating a flexible division into compartments.
  • flaps 5 are shortened somewhat by cutting out pieces along lines 6 at the corner points of the blank.
  • the blank is made of water-tight material, e.g. corrugated cardboard with a water-tight coating of, for example, wax, flowers can be transported in water.
  • water-tight material e.g. corrugated cardboard with a water-tight coating of, for example, wax
  • the slip-over box or cover 2 referred to hereinbefore, which has a top panel and four sidewalls (Fig. 2).
  • the height of the slip-over box or cover 2, i.e. the sidewalls thereof, is considerably in excess of the height of the sidewalls 3 of box 1, to permit long-stemmed flowers to be packaged in the box.
  • the slip-over box or cover can additonally serve as a support or stand for the box for the purpose of displaying the flowers.
  • the walls of the slip-over box or cover can be provided with suitable advertising.
  • grip openings 4 are formed in the four sidewalls of box 1 and slip-over box or cover 2 in such a manner that, in the assembled condition, grip openings 4 of box 1 and slip-over box or cover 2 are respectively in alignment.
  • the invention has the advantage that repacking is unnecessary, so that the risk of transmitting diseases is minimized.
  • a further important point is that even the last bunch of flowers present in a box according to this invention keeps standing in a substantially upright position so that it is attractively presented and vendible.
