HINGE-LID CONTAINER WITH ADDITIONAL INTEGRAL PANELS

摘要

A hinge-lid container comprises a box portion (4) and a lid portion (6) hinged to the box portion (4). The box portion (4) includes an integral first panel (38)(38') connected to the remainder of the container along a first hinge line (28)(28') and an integral second panel (44)(44'). The first panel (38)(38') in an initial position forms at least part of a wall (20)(10) of the box portion (4) and the second panel (44)(44') in an initial position underlies the first panel (38)(38'). The first panel (38)(38') is defined in the wall (10)(20) of the box portion (4) by at least one line of weakness (40)(40')(41)(41') in the initial position and is foldable about the first hinge line (28)(28') from the initial position to a second position in which it is hinged outwardly from the remainder of the container. The second panel (44)(44') is preferably connected to the remainder of the container (46)(46') along a second hinge line about which it is foldable from the initial position to a second position in which it is hinged outwardly from the remainder of the container. The box portion (4) preferably further includes an integral third panel (52)(52') that in an initial position underlies the second panel (44)(44').
