发明名称 Garment box
摘要 Various embodiments provide a method for making a garment box insert. The method comprises the steps of performing a plurality of folding actions upon a first side wall, a second side wall, a third side wall, and a fourth side wall so as to form a container portion. Extended flap portions and fold-over panels are further provided and folded so as to enclose and define the container portion. A first walled enclosure portion is further formed by performing steps of folding the second and first fold-over panels such that an elongate slot and at least to apertures are appropriately aligned. The method concludes with inserting one or more tabs of the first walled enclosure portion into one or more oval slots in the first side wall, so as to selectively secure the first walled portion relative to the first side wall during use.

主权项 1. A method for making a garment box insert, wherein the garment box insert comprises a bottom panel and a container portion comprising a first side wall, a second side wall, a third side wall, and a fourth side wall, each adjacent to the bottom panel, the first side wall and the fourth side wall being on opposite sides of the bottom panel from one another, the first side wall comprising one or more substantially oval slots and an elongate slot disposed proximate a mid-point of the first side wall and configured to receive and secure a handle portion wherein the handle portion is configured to be engaged by one or more heads of clothes hangers, the second side wall and the third side wall being on opposite sides of the bottom panel from one another, and adjacent to the first side wall and the fourth side wall; and contiguous to the first side wall, a first walled enclosure portion comprising: one or more tabs, a first fold over panel comprising two apertures substantially centered about a mid-point of the first fold over panel , a second fold over panel adjacent an inside edge of the first fold over panel and comprising an elongate aperture located proximate a mid-point of the second fold over panel, opposing ends of the elongate aperture being approximately aligned with the two apertures of the first fold over panel and a central portion of the elongate aperture being approximately aligned with the elongate slot located in the first side wall, the method comprising the steps of: (a) folding the first side wall, the second side wall, the third side wall, and the fourth side wall at approximate right angles relative to the bottom panel so that the first side wall and the fourth side wall are substantially parallel to and facing one another and the second side wall and the third side wall are substantially parallel to and facing one another; (b) forming the container portion by performing the sub-steps of: (1) folding extended flap portions of the first and the fourth side walls such that the extended flap portions are positioned inside the walled enclosure portion and lie substantially juxtaposed with said second and third side walls; and(2) folding down the first fold over panels of the second and the third side walls such that the first fold over panels and corresponding second fold over panels of the second and the third side walls substantially enclose at least a portion of the extended flap portions of the first and the fourth side walls and such that an outer edge of the first fold over panels lays in juxtaposition with the bottom panel; and (c) forming the first walled enclosure portion by performing the sub-steps of: (1) folding up the second fold over panel such that the central portion of the elongate aperture is approximately aligned with the elongate slot located in the first side wall, such that the one or more heads of clothes hangers can be inserted through the elongate aperture of the second fold over panel and secured on a lower portion the handle portion;(2) folding down the first fold over panel such that the first fold over panel lies juxtaposed an outer surface of the first side wall and such that the two apertures are aligned so as to receive at least an upper portion of the handle portion; and(3) inserting said one or more tabs of the first walled enclosure portion into said one or more substantially oval slots of the first side wall, so as to selectively secure the first walled enclosure portion relative to the first side wall during use.
