FOLDABLE PACKAGING CONTAINER

摘要

A foldable packaging which may include a liquid-resistant paperboard form that is foldable to provide an attractive stackable container that resists water leakage, can be assembled without fastening hardware and has concealed gussets. The packaging can be folded into overlapping flaps and wings which are folded and interlocked to define a generally trapezoidal packaging which can receive a variety of different pot sizes and types. The die cut pattern forming the packaging can be of a universal shape but formed in a variety of different sizes to accommodate different sized potted plants.

主权项

1. A packaging comprising:
a base portion having a liquid resistant material defining at least a portion of at least one inwardly facing surface; a plurality of side walls each having:
(i) a first end that is connected to the base portion;(ii) a second end; and(iii) at least two laterally spaced apart side edges; at least one inwardly folded gusset attached to and disposed between adjoining side walls along respective side edges of the adjoining side walls; at least two of the sidewalls each including at least one inwardly folded free end flap portion that:
(i) extends from the second end of each such side wall;(ii) is folded inwardly so that it covers a portion of such side wall;(iii) includes a terminal free edge that is remote from the second end of the side wall and the free end flap extends over a portion of a side wall so that the terminal edge resides generally along the interior of the side wall facing toward the base portion, but spaced apart from the base portion; and(iv) defines a folded edge for the packaging that is distal from the base portion; so that at least two adjoining sidewalls are generally free of external folds, tabs and gussets and a volume of a liquid can be held in the packaging without contacting the terminal edge.
