STACKABLE OPEN TOPPED BOX WITH INDENTED SIDE EDGES

摘要

A stackable open topped box (1) and a blank from which it is folded are provided in which a fluted sheet material is cut and sulcated to form a box. The flutes extend parallel to the side walls (2) of the box and up the height of the end walls (3). Each side wall (2) has an indent (6) whereof the ends terminate in a diagonal fold (7) inclined upwardly and towards the adjacent end of the box at an angle of 45°. The fluted sheet m6aterial originally adjacent the edge of the indent (6) is folded inwards and downwards as a composite flap such that the flutes of the fluted material are generally vertical and the material extends to substantially the bottom (4) of the box. A strip (8) that is approximately beneath the diagonal fold (7) is flush with the inside of the side wall (2) of the box (1).
