Cardboard box e.g. for carrying bottles can be mechanically folded from flat panel with glued flaps and tabs

摘要

The box, made from a single panel of a sheet material such as corrugated cardboard and designed to be assembled mechanically and fastened by glued surfaces, has two ends (9, 9') made with cut-away edges (12, 14; 12', 14') that leave space for glued tabs (6, 8, 6', 8') on sides (1, 3). A variant of the design has additional folds in the box ends to produce an elongated octagonal shape.
