Definitions
- This invention relates to packaging, and in particular, to a corrugated cardboard box for shipping, storing, and dispensing roll products such as gift wrap rolls.
- the “chip box” is a shipping carton in which a perforated panel has been provided. Small packaged items, such as potato chips, bags of peanuts, and other small, lightweight bagged items are provided in the box and, at the retail store, the panel is removed allowing access to the products inside.
- Rolls of gift wrap are bulky, awkward and heavy and therefore cannot be provided in a chip box. These products, furthermore, are difficult to store in quantity in a retail store.
- One solution to this problem has been to place the rolls on end into a box having an opening in the front wall with a rod across the lower end of the opening and another rod across the upper end of the opening. The upper and lower rods restrain the rolls from falling out of the box and keep the lower ends of the rolls inside the box. Rolls are then dispensed from the box by lifting up the lower end of each roll over the lower bar and dispensing the roll out through the opening in the front of the box, between the two bars. The rolls, therefore, can be stored on a shelf, 4 or 5 feet above the floor, to preserve floor space.
- the present invention provides a gift wrap box which can be shipped already filled with rolls of gift wrap so that after a few simple unpackaging steps, the shipping box can also be used as the display and dispensing box.
- the invention provides a carton specially adapted for use in shipping and displaying a plurality of roll products.
- the carton comprises a container having an enclosed bottom end and an open top end.
- a reinforced bridging panel extends horizontally above the opening and a lower panel extends horizontally below the opening. The upper reinforcement panel, the lower panel, and the adjacent sides of the enclosure frame the opening, such that the rolls of products can be both seen and removed through the opening.
- the reinforced bridging panel can be provided as a double layer of corrugated cardboard material, provided by folding a rear panel portion behind a front panel portion in the container.
- a stiff elongated reinforcement which can be, for example, a wire or rod, can be adhered or otherwise attached to the reinforcement panel.
- the invention comprises a removable panel provided in a side of the container such that the reinforced panel extends horizontally across the container between the open end of the container and the removable panel.
- a shipping box having an enclosed top and an open bottom, which is sized and dimensioned to extend over and enclose the open top end of the container, is provided over the container during shipping. Both the shipping box and the removable panel are removed to allow for display and removal of product at a sales location.
- the removable panel can provide reinforcement during shipping, and at least partially covers the opening through which the rolls are dispensed.
- the reinforcement panel can be constructed as a double layer of material, formed by cutting a portion of the container from the removable panel and folding the portion over behind a front panel. Construction of the reinforcement panel in this way provides a space between the top of the removable panel and the bottom of the reinforcement panel, simplifying removal of the panel by a user by allowing ready access to the panel.
- the edges of the removable panel can be scored or perforated to further simplify removal of the panel to provide an opening for display and removal of the rolls.
- a container of the invention may be provided with an open top at a height less than the length of the rolls so that the rolls stick out of the top of the box, such that the ends of the rolls can be viewed by a customer.
- the invention comprises a method for providing a shipping carton for rolls of material.
- a container having an open top and an enclosed bottom is provided, the container is perforated to define a removable panel circumscribed by an upper panel extending horizontally above the removable panel, a lower panel extending horizontally below the removable panel, and adjacent side walls extending along the sides of the removable panel.
- the upper panel is sectioned into an upper and a lower part, and the lower part is folded to overlap the upper part, thereby forming a reinforced bridging panel extending horizontally above the removable panel.

- the bridging panel 19 can also include the stiff elongated member 30 , provided between the front panel 20 and the reinforcement panel 28 as described above.
- the bridging panel 19 is formed prior to folding the blank 58 into the container 10 as shown in FIG. 1.
- an opening 52 is formed above the removable panel 24 prior to shipping and forms part of the opening 16 when the removable panel 24 is removed. The opening 52 is enclosed during shipping and storage by the shipping box 22 .
- the container 10 can be constructed from the blank 58 and the reinforcement panel 28 folded into the bridging panel 19 after the carton is constructed.
- an adhesive strip can be positioned on the back of the panel 20 to allow a user to adhere the reinforcement panel 28 to the back of the panel 20 at, for example, a remote location such as a retail establishment.
- the present invention is particularly useful when the carton 11 is loaded with rolls 12 prior to shipment, the carton 11 can also be partially assembled, as shown in FIG. 7, prior to shipping or shipped as a blank 58 as shown in FIG. 4, and assembled by a distributor, at a warehouse, or elsewhere.
- the bridging panel 19 has been described with reference to the area extending horizontally above the panel, it will be apparent that, using similar steps to those described above, the lower panel 18 could also be reinforced. Reinforcing the container 10 on both the upper and lower sides of the opening 16 would be particularly advantageous, for example, when the rolls 12 to be provided in the container 10 are large “jumbo wrap” rolls or contain heavy materials such as heavy mailing paper or foils.
- an open-ended five-sided shipping box 22 which is sized to have height substantially equivalent the height of the container 10 including the rolls 12 loaded into it, can be slipped over the container 10 prior to shipping of the carton 11 or for storage of the carton 11 .
- the open bottom end of the shipping box 22 is adhered or taped to the bottom wall 15 of the container 10 to secure it during shipping or storage.
- the top of the container 10 can be extended up above the ends of the rolls 12 and closed, for example in the same manner that the bottom of the container 10 is closed.
- a nylon tear strip can then be provided, for example at the height of the container 10 illustrated in FIG.
- the shipping box 22 can be provided to extend from the top 13 of the container 10 to cover the exposed rolls 12 , or from the opening 52 above the removable panel 24 to enclose the exposed rolls 12 . In these cases, the rolls are adequately covered while minimizing materials.
- the invention therefore provides a carton 11 specially adapted to ship, store, display, and dispense product rolls such as gift wrap rolls.
- the opening 16 in the front wall 14 of container 10 through which the rolls 12 are dispensed extends for the entire width of the front wall 14 to provide a large opening 16 for display and dispensing of the rolls.
- a stiff reinforcement 30 provided in the bridging panel 19 over the opening 16 preferably between a front panel 20 and a reinforced panel 28 which is folded over the rear of the front panel 20 over the bottom edge of the front panel 20 , helps reinforce the bridging panel 19 to contain the rolls 12 .
- reinforcement during shipping is provided by a removable front panel 24 which at least partially covers the opening 16 through which the rolls 12 are dispensed, before the removable panel 24 is removed.
- the container 10 of the invention may be provided with an open top 13 so that the rolls 12 stick out of the top 13 of the box, where they can also be viewed by a consumer.
- the shipping carton 22 is removed by cutting or removing the tape which holds it to the container 10 and discarding (or returning) the shipping carton 22 .
- the removable panel 24 which covers the display and dispensing opening 16 is then removed, and the container 10 loaded with rolls 12 of gift wrap is then ready to be placed on the floor or shelf of the retail store, with the rolls ready for sale.

Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. provisional application No. 60/353,424, filed Jan. 31, 2002.
- Not applicable.
- This invention relates to packaging, and in particular, to a corrugated cardboard box for shipping, storing, and dispensing roll products such as gift wrap rolls.
- Products are often shipped to retail stores in packages which, on receipt at the store, require that the package be opened and unloaded, and that the internal products inside be moved into a display. These activities require a significant degree of time and labor, and are therefore expensive for the store owners, driving the price of goods up.
- To decrease the amount of time and labor in setting up displays in stores, various shipping cartons have been developed. One example is a “chip box”. The “chip box” is a shipping carton in which a perforated panel has been provided. Small packaged items, such as potato chips, bags of peanuts, and other small, lightweight bagged items are provided in the box and, at the retail store, the panel is removed allowing access to the products inside.
- Rolls of gift wrap, however, are bulky, awkward and heavy and therefore cannot be provided in a chip box. These products, furthermore, are difficult to store in quantity in a retail store. One solution to this problem has been to place the rolls on end into a box having an opening in the front wall with a rod across the lower end of the opening and another rod across the upper end of the opening. The upper and lower rods restrain the rolls from falling out of the box and keep the lower ends of the rolls inside the box. Rolls are then dispensed from the box by lifting up the lower end of each roll over the lower bar and dispensing the roll out through the opening in the front of the box, between the two bars. The rolls, therefore, can be stored on a shelf, 4 or 5 feet above the floor, to preserve floor space.
- These prior art boxes, while successful in providing access to the rolls, were relatively heavy and difficult to transport. Furthermore, these boxes required both set-up and subsequent filling of rolls, which were shipped apart from the box, at the retail establishment. These boxes, therefore, require both time and labor at the retail establishment. It is desirable in high-volume retail establishments, however, to minimize time and labor requirements to set-up sales displays, in order to limit costs.
- Therefore, the present invention provides a gift wrap box which can be shipped already filled with rolls of gift wrap so that after a few simple unpackaging steps, the shipping box can also be used as the display and dispensing box.
- The invention provides a carton specially adapted for use in shipping and displaying a plurality of roll products. The carton comprises a container having an enclosed bottom end and an open top end. An opening, sized and dimensioned to be greater in length than one half of the length of the roll products, is provided in a side of the container. A reinforced bridging panel extends horizontally above the opening and a lower panel extends horizontally below the opening. The upper reinforcement panel, the lower panel, and the adjacent sides of the enclosure frame the opening, such that the rolls of products can be both seen and removed through the opening.
- The reinforced bridging panel can be provided as a double layer of corrugated cardboard material, provided by folding a rear panel portion behind a front panel portion in the container. To further reinforce the bridging panel, a stiff elongated reinforcement which can be, for example, a wire or rod, can be adhered or otherwise attached to the reinforcement panel. These reinforcement devices help to contain the rolls in the carton.
- In another aspect, the invention comprises a removable panel provided in a side of the container such that the reinforced panel extends horizontally across the container between the open end of the container and the removable panel. A shipping box having an enclosed top and an open bottom, which is sized and dimensioned to extend over and enclose the open top end of the container, is provided over the container during shipping. Both the shipping box and the removable panel are removed to allow for display and removal of product at a sales location.
- The removable panel can provide reinforcement during shipping, and at least partially covers the opening through which the rolls are dispensed. The reinforcement panel can be constructed as a double layer of material, formed by cutting a portion of the container from the removable panel and folding the portion over behind a front panel. Construction of the reinforcement panel in this way provides a space between the top of the removable panel and the bottom of the reinforcement panel, simplifying removal of the panel by a user by allowing ready access to the panel. The edges of the removable panel can be scored or perforated to further simplify removal of the panel to provide an opening for display and removal of the rolls. Moreover, a container of the invention may be provided with an open top at a height less than the length of the rolls so that the rolls stick out of the top of the box, such that the ends of the rolls can be viewed by a customer.
- In another aspect, the invention comprises a method for providing a shipping carton for rolls of material. A container having an open top and an enclosed bottom is provided, the container is perforated to define a removable panel circumscribed by an upper panel extending horizontally above the removable panel, a lower panel extending horizontally below the removable panel, and adjacent side walls extending along the sides of the removable panel. The upper panel is sectioned into an upper and a lower part, and the lower part is folded to overlap the upper part, thereby forming a reinforced bridging panel extending horizontally above the removable panel.
- The foregoing and other objects and advantages of the invention will appear in the detailed description which follows. In the description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a carton of the present invention shown ready for display and to dispense rolls of gift wrap stored inside;
- FIG. 2 is a view of the carton of FIG. 1 with the rolls of gift wrap removed and prior to removal of a removable front panel of the carton;
- FIG. 3 is a view of the bottom of the carton showing how the flaps of the bottom are folded in to form the bottom of the carton;
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a blank for constructing the carton FIG. 1 illustrating an inside flap prior to the gluing in of a reinforcing wire or rod;

- FIG. 7 is a plan view drawing of the carton of FIG. 1 prior to the insertion of rolls and prior to constructing the bridging panel; and
- FIG. 8 is a view of the carton shown covered with a shipping box.
- Referring now to the figures and more particularly to FIGS. 1 and 8, a shipping carton11 of the invention is illustrated. The carton 11 comprises a
container 10, and a shipping box orenclosure 22. Rolls ofgift wrap 12 are provided standing on end inside thecontainer 10 and extending through and above anopen top 13 of thecontainer 10. Anopening 16 is selectively provided in the front of thecontainer 10 to provide access to therolls 12 inside the container. Theshipping box 22 is provided over therolls 12 in thecontainer 10 to protect therolls 12 during shipment and storage, as described below. - Referring still to FIG. 1, the
container 10 has afront wall 14 in which theopening 16 is formed that extends for the full width of thefront wall 14. At the lower edge of theopening 16 is alower panel 18 which extends for the full width of thefront wall 14 and prevents the lower ends of therolls 12 from slipping out of thecontainer 10. The opening is sized and dimensioned to allow the removal of aroll 12 through the opening 16 when thecontainer 10 is full of rolls by pulling the roll through theopening 16 as described below. - Adjacent the upper edge of the
opening 16 is an upper reinforced or bridgingpanel 19, also extending the full width of thefront wall 14, and including afront panel 20 that retains therolls 12 and helps prevent therolls 12 from tipping out of thecontainer 10. The bridgingpanel 19 further comprises reinforcements for stiffening the bridgingpanel 19, as described below. To decrease time and labor at the retail establishments, thecontainer 10 is preferably printed with the price or other information regarding therolls 12. - A
roll 12 is dispensed from thecontainer 10 by grabbing the lower end of the roll through theopening 16, pushing theroll 12 upward, lifting theroll 12 until its lower end clears thelower panel 18, and then pulling theroll 12 out of thecontainer 10 through theopening 16, thepanels opening 16, thecontainer 10 can be placed on an elevated shelf of a retail store to conserve floor space. Alternatively, if thecontainer 10 is stored, for example, on a floor or lower shelf, rolls 12 can be pulled through theopen top 13 of thecontainer 10. As noted above, theopening 16 is sized and dimensioned to allow removal of the roll through the opening, even when thecontainer 10 is full ofrolls 12. As a result, the length of theopening 16 between the edge adjacent thereinforcement panel 28 and thelower panel 18 is preferably greater than one-half of the length of aroll 12. - The
container 10 can be loaded with gift wrap rolls 12 prior to shipment of thecontainer 10 to the retail store. As described above, for shipment, the five-sided shipping box 22 (FIG. 8) is provided on thecontainer 10. Theshipping box 22 comprises four sides sized and dimensioned to mate with theopen end 13 of thecontainer 10 and an enclosed top, as shown in FIG. 8. Theshipping box 22 is placed over the loadedcontainer 10 and taped or otherwise affixed around its bottom edges to the bottom of thecontainer 10. In addition to protecting therolls 12 within thecontainer 10, theshipping box 22 strengthens the loadedcontainer 10, and further protects the graphics printed on thecontainer 10. - Referring now to FIG. 2, the
container 10 can be provided with aremovable panel 24. Thepanel 24 strengthens thecontainer 10 for shipping, and, like theshipping box 22 helps contain therolls 12 within thecontainer 10. At a retail or other display location, however, thepanel 24 is easily removed along the perforation lines 32 provided around theadjacent sides container 10 and thelower panel 18. An indentation orfinger hole 34, which can be, as shown, a semi-circular cut provided in the top edge of theremovable panel 24 provides access to theremovable panel 24 allowing a user to tear theremovable panel 24 along theperforations 32 to provide theopening 16, which serves as a display window or aperture for retrieving rolls from thecontainer 10 at the retail establishment, as described above. Although aline 32 is shown, it will be apparent that the removable panel can comprise other elements which simplify removal of a portion of thefront wall 14 including, for example, score lines. Alternatively, theremovable panel 24 could be a separate component adhered to thefront wall 14 using an adhesive strip or other removable adherent. - Referring now to FIG. 3, the bottom15 of the
container 10 is shown. The bottom 15 is made up, in conventional fashion, of fourflaps flaps side walls container 10. A piece of corrugated cardboard (not shown) approximately the size of the folded bottom wall 15 of thecontainer 10 may be placed flat inside and against the bottom wall 15 of thecontainer 10. The additional piece of corrugated cardboard strengthens the bottom wall 15, and further provides padding and a flat surface for the lower ends of the gift wrap rolls 12 to rest on. The bottom 15 of thecontainer 10 is secured by taping or gluing theflaps - Referring now to FIG. 4, a blank58 for constructing the
container 10 of FIG. 1 is shown. The blank 58 preferably comprises a sheet of corrugated cardboard material and includes vertical fold lines separating the cardboard blank 58 into afront wall 14,side walls rear wall 48. Horizontal fold lines are provided to separate each of thewalls bottom panels bottom panels adjacent walls flap 49 is hingedly attached to theside wall 36 and, in use, is folded over and adhered to therear wall 48 using a glue or other adhesive to form thecontainer 10 into a rectangular configuration as shown in FIG. 1 prior to the loading ofrolls 12. - As noted above, the
front wall 14 includes aperforation line 32 extending vertically between thefront panel 14 and each of theside walls front wall 14, separating theremovable panel 24 from thelower panel 18. Fold or hingelines panel 19 are provided in an upper portion of thefront wall 14. The hinge lines 48 and 50 extend horizontally across thefront panel 14 between thefront panel 20 and areinforcement panel 28. A cut line 60 is also provided horizontally across the width of thefront panel 14 separatingreinforcement panel 28 from theremovable panel 24. Anopen area 54 and 56 is cut or otherwise provided vertically on each of the opposing sides of thereinforcement panel 28 such that thereinforcement panel 28 can be folded up to form the bridgingpanel 19 along the hinge lines 48 and 50, as described below. Thesemi-circular finger hole 34 extends downward from the cut line 60 into theremovable panel 24 at the approximate vertical center of thefront wall 14, and aids in the folding up ofpanel 28 and the removal of theremovable panel 24 by a user as described above. - Referring now to FIG. 5, a stiff
elongated member 30 can be provided on thefront panel 20 to reinforce the bridgingpanel 19. The stiffelongated member 30 is preferably constructed of a metal rod but can also be constructed from a metal or synthetic wire, plastic, cardboard or other materials. The stiffelongated member 30 runs substantially the length of the bridgingpanel 19 adjacent to the fold betweenpanels panel 19. The stiffelongated member 30 is preferably glued or adhered to thepanel 20 prior to construction of thebox 10 from the blank 58. Alternatively, the stiffelongated member 30 can be added to thecontainer 10 at a later stage of construction, as, for example, when the bridgingpanel 19 is constructed on site, as described below with reference to FIG. 7. - Referring now to FIG. 6, the bridging
panel 19 is formed by folding thereinforcement panel 28, which is cut out from thefront wall 14 as described above, alonghinge lines front panel 20. Once positioned, thereinforcement panel 28 is glued or otherwise adhered to the back of thefront panel 20. Thefront panel 20 andreinforcement panel 28 thereby form a double layer of corrugated material, providing a relativelystiff bridging panel 19 that resists bending when the weight of therolls 12 is provided against the bridgingpanel 19. Furthermore, the corrugations in the corrugated cardboard which make up thecontainer 10 are preferably configured to run in a horizontal direction, providing additional resistance against bending as therolls 12 rest against thecomposite bridging panel 19 made up of thepanels panel 19 can also include the stiffelongated member 30, provided between thefront panel 20 and thereinforcement panel 28 as described above. Preferably, the bridgingpanel 19 is formed prior to folding the blank 58 into thecontainer 10 as shown in FIG. 1. When constructed as shown, anopening 52 is formed above theremovable panel 24 prior to shipping and forms part of theopening 16 when theremovable panel 24 is removed. Theopening 52 is enclosed during shipping and storage by theshipping box 22. - Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7, the
container 10 can be constructed from the blank 58 and thereinforcement panel 28 folded into the bridgingpanel 19 after the carton is constructed. In this application, an adhesive strip can be positioned on the back of thepanel 20 to allow a user to adhere thereinforcement panel 28 to the back of thepanel 20 at, for example, a remote location such as a retail establishment. Although the present invention is particularly useful when the carton 11 is loaded withrolls 12 prior to shipment, the carton 11 can also be partially assembled, as shown in FIG. 7, prior to shipping or shipped as a blank 58 as shown in FIG. 4, and assembled by a distributor, at a warehouse, or elsewhere. Furthermore, although the bridgingpanel 19 has been described with reference to the area extending horizontally above the panel, it will be apparent that, using similar steps to those described above, thelower panel 18 could also be reinforced. Reinforcing thecontainer 10 on both the upper and lower sides of theopening 16 would be particularly advantageous, for example, when therolls 12 to be provided in thecontainer 10 are large “jumbo wrap” rolls or contain heavy materials such as heavy mailing paper or foils. - Referring now to FIG. 8, as described above, an open-ended five-
sided shipping box 22, which is sized to have height substantially equivalent the height of thecontainer 10 including therolls 12 loaded into it, can be slipped over thecontainer 10 prior to shipping of the carton 11 or for storage of the carton 11. The open bottom end of theshipping box 22 is adhered or taped to the bottom wall 15 of thecontainer 10 to secure it during shipping or storage. As an alternative to theshipping box 22, the top of thecontainer 10 can be extended up above the ends of therolls 12 and closed, for example in the same manner that the bottom of thecontainer 10 is closed. A nylon tear strip can then be provided, for example at the height of thecontainer 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 (or a different height), which when pulled by a sales clerk tears the corrugated cardboard of the carton to create a clean separation of the top portion of thecontainer 10 from the remaining bottom portion, which would leave the bottom portion looking much like the carton in FIGS. 1 and 2. This would save corrugated cardboard material by avoiding theshipping box 22, but would not protect the graphics on the outside of thecontainer 10. In alternative embodiments, theshipping box 22 can be provided to extend from the top 13 of thecontainer 10 to cover the exposed rolls 12, or from theopening 52 above theremovable panel 24 to enclose the exposed rolls 12. In these cases, the rolls are adequately covered while minimizing materials. - The invention therefore provides a carton11 specially adapted to ship, store, display, and dispense product rolls such as gift wrap rolls. The
opening 16 in thefront wall 14 ofcontainer 10 through which therolls 12 are dispensed extends for the entire width of thefront wall 14 to provide alarge opening 16 for display and dispensing of the rolls. Astiff reinforcement 30 provided in the bridgingpanel 19 over theopening 16, preferably between afront panel 20 and a reinforcedpanel 28 which is folded over the rear of thefront panel 20 over the bottom edge of thefront panel 20, helps reinforce the bridgingpanel 19 to contain therolls 12. In addition, reinforcement during shipping is provided by a removablefront panel 24 which at least partially covers theopening 16 through which therolls 12 are dispensed, before theremovable panel 24 is removed. Moreover, thecontainer 10 of the invention may be provided with an open top 13 so that therolls 12 stick out of the top 13 of the box, where they can also be viewed by a consumer. - When the
container 10 is ready to be placed in the retail store on a shelf or on the floor for display and sale of therolls 12, theshipping carton 22 is removed by cutting or removing the tape which holds it to thecontainer 10 and discarding (or returning) theshipping carton 22. Theremovable panel 24 which covers the display and dispensingopening 16 is then removed, and thecontainer 10 loaded withrolls 12 of gift wrap is then ready to be placed on the floor or shelf of the retail store, with the rolls ready for sale. - A preferred embodiment of the invention has been described in considerable detail. Many modifications and variations to the preferred embodiment described will be apparent to a person of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, the invention should not be limited to the embodiment described.
