Embodiment 1.

Fig. 1 is an oblique view of a packaging container 1 according to embodiment 1. The packaging container 1 is a box used for packaging objects to be packaged. In embodiment 1, the object to be packaged is an electronic device. The packaging container 1 has: an outer case 2 for accommodating a packaged object; and a buffer member 3 disposed between the outer case 2 and the object to be packaged in the outer case 2. The outer case 2 is assembled by bending a single corrugated cardboard as a packaging material.

The outer case 2 has a bottom surface portion 4, a main body portion 5, a top surface inner baffle 6, an outer cover baffle 7, a side surface inner baffle 8a as a1 st side surface inner baffle, and a side surface inner baffle 8b as a2 nd side surface inner baffle. In fig. 1, the packaging container 1 is shown in a state in which the top inner barrier 6 and the outer barrier 7 are opened and the cushioning material 3 is separated from the outer box 2.

The bottom surface portion 4 is the bottom of the outer case 2. The main body 5 is a cylindrical portion that stands vertically with respect to the bottom surface 4, and surrounds the object to be packaged housed in the outer case 2. The main body 5 is composed of 4 side plates 5a, 5b, 5c, 5 d. The side plate 5a as the 1 st side plate and the side plate 5b as the 2 nd side plate are parallel to each other and face each other with the object to be packaged stored in the outer box 2 interposed therebetween. The side plate 5c as the 3 rd side plate and the side plate 5d as the 4 th side plate are parallel to each other and face each other with the object to be packaged stored in the outer box 2 interposed therebetween.

The outer panel 7 is adjacent to the side panel 5b via a bending line. The end of the main body 5 opposite to the bottom surface 4 is closed by the outer cover 7, and the outer casing 2 is closed. Further, from a state where the end of the main body 5 is closed by the exterior cover 7, the exterior cover 7 is lifted from the side plates 5a, 5c, 5d, whereby the outer box 2 is opened. An insertion portion 9 is provided at an edge of the outer cover 7 opposite to a bending line between the side plates 5 b. A slit 14 is formed in the bending line between the exterior barrier 7 and the insertion portion 9. When the outer case 2 is closed, an insertion portion 10 described later is inserted into the slit 14.

The top inner baffle 6 is adjacent to the side plate 5a via a bending line. The top inner baffle 6 is disposed between the outer casing baffle 7 and the packaged object stored in the outer casing 2. A slit 13 is formed in the bending line between the side plate 5a and the top inner panel 6. When the outer case 2 is closed, the insertion portion 9 is inserted into the slit 13. An insertion portion 10 bent from the side plate 5a is provided near a bending line between the side plate 5a and the top inner panel 6.

The side inner baffle 8a is adjacent to the side plate 5c via a bending line. The side inner baffle 8b is adjacent to the side plate 5d via a bending line. The top inner baffle 6 is placed on side inner baffles 8a, 8b folded into the inside of the outer box 2. A part of the side inner baffle 8a and a part of the side inner baffle 8b function as a buffer portion disposed between the outer case 2 and the object to be packaged. Details of the buffer portion will be described later.

The buffer member 3 is a member that is detachably attached to the outer case 2 by being separated from the ceiling inner baffle 6. The cushioning material 3 has a long shape extending in 1 longitudinal direction. The buffer member 3 is extracted from the top inner baffle 6, is bent from the extracted state, and is disposed inside the outer case 2. The buffer member 3 is bent so that a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is L-shaped. The cushioning component 3 is extracted from the top inner baffle 6, whereby holes 12 matching the shape of the cushioning component 3 are left in the top inner baffle 6.

The cushioning member 3 has a1 st portion 3a and a 2 nd portion 3b of a different shape from the 1 st portion 3 a. The cushioning member 3 is bent at a bending line 3c between the 1 st portion 3a and the 2 nd portion 3b.

Slits 11 are formed in each of the side inner baffle 8a and the side inner baffle 8 b. One of both ends of the cushioning member 3 is inserted into the side inner barrier 8a, and the other of both ends of the cushioning member 3 is inserted into the side inner barrier 8b, whereby the cushioning member 3 is fitted into the outer box 2. The both ends of the buffer member 3 are both ends in the longitudinal direction of the buffer member 3.

The cushioning member 3 has a function of relieving impact from the outside of the packaging container 1. The buffer member 3 is disposed between the outer case2 and the packaged object, thereby preventing the packaged object in the packaging container 1 from being damaged by impact and the packaged object from flying out of the packaging container 1 by impact. Further, the outer case2 and the buffer member 3 hold the packaged material, so that loosening of the packaged material in the packaging container 1 can be reduced.

Fig. 2 is a developed view of the packaging container 1 according to embodiment 1. Fig. 2 shows the corrugated cardboard 20 as the packaging container 1 in an expanded state. In fig. 2, the cushioning member 3 is integrated with the top inner baffle 6. In fig. 2, a halftone is applied to the buffer member 3.

The side plate 5b is adjacent to the side plate 5c via a bending line. The side plate 5c is adjacent to the side plate 5a via a bending line. The side plate 5a is adjacent to the side plate 5d via a bending line. In the corrugated cardboard 20, the side plates 5b, 5c, 5a, and 5d are arranged in 1 direction. The corrugated cardboard 20 is folded so that the side plates 5a and 5b face each other and the side plates 5c and 5d face each other, and the side plate 5d and 5b are connected to each other, whereby the main body 5 is formed.

The bottom baffle 4b is adjacent to the side plate 5b via a bending line. The bottom baffle 4c is adjacent to the side plate 5c via a bending line. The bottom baffle 4a is adjacent to the side plate 5a via a bending line. The bottom baffle 4d is adjacent to the side plate 5d via a bending line. The corrugated cardboard 20 is folded so that the bottom surface baffles 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d become perpendicular to the side plates 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, and the bottom surface baffles 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d are combined to form the bottom surface portion 4.

Next, a layout of the cushioning material 3 in the packaging container 1 will be described. In the outer case 2 shown in fig. 1, the 1 st object to be packaged, that is, the 1 st object to be packaged, can be stored, and the 2 nd object to be packaged, that is, the 1 st object to be packaged, other than the 1 st object to be packaged, can be stored instead of the 1 st object to be packaged. The 2 nd object is an object having a different outer shape from the 1 st object.

Fig. 3 is a diagram showing a case where the cushioning material 3 of the packaging container 1 according to embodiment 1 is combined with the 1 st object to be packaged. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing a case where the cushioning material 3 of the packaging container 1 according to embodiment 1 is disposed inside the outer case 2 together with the 1 st object to be packaged. The product 30 shown in fig. 3 and 4 is an example of the 1 st packaged article. Product 30 is a programmable logic controller. In fig. 4, the cushioning material 3 is shaded with a halftone, and the product 30 is shaded.

Arrow a indicates the direction in which the bottom surface portion 4 and the exterior barrier 7 in the state where the outer case 2 is closed face each other. Arrow B indicates the direction in which the side plates 5c and 5d oppose each other. Arrow C indicates the direction in which the side plates 5a and 5b oppose each other. Hereinafter, the direction of the arrow a is referred to as the height direction, the direction of the arrow B is referred to as the width direction, and the direction of the arrow C is referred to as the depth direction. The direction in which the exterior barrier 7 exists when viewed from the bottom surface portion 4 is set to be up, and the direction in which the bottom surface portion 4 exists when viewed from the exterior barrier 7 is set to be down. The product 30 is stored in a predetermined posture with respect to the outer case 2. In the product 30, the directions of the arrows a, B, and C when the product 30 is stored in the outer case 2 are also referred to as a height direction, a width direction, and a depth direction.

The surface 31 of the product 30 faces upward when the product 30 is accommodated in the outer case 2. The surface 31 is provided with a convex portion 32 protruding upward. The upper end of the product 30 in the case where the product 30 is stored in the outer case 2 has a step formed by providing the convex portion 32. The length of the cushioning material 3 in the longitudinal direction is longer than the length of the product 30 in the width direction. The cushioning material 3 is fitted to the upper end portion of the product 30 with the 1 st portion 3a facing downward. The 1 st portion 3a stands perpendicular to the face 31. Hereinafter, the state of the cushioning member 3 when the 1 st portion 3a is downward will be referred to as 1 st state.

The downward edge in the 1 st state in the 1 st part 3a is formed with a recess conforming to the shape of the product 30. That is, the shape of the product 30 is reflected in the 1 st part 3 a. The length of the recess in the width direction coincides with the length of the product 30 in the width direction. Or the length of the recess in the width direction is longer than the length of the product 30 in the width direction. The recess is formed with a shape matching the step of the product 30. The depth of the recess in the height direction is set so that the upper end portion of the product 30 is fitted to the recess in a state where the cushioning member 3 is combined with the outer case 2. As described above, the 1 st part 3a reflects the shape of the product 30, and is formed so as to be able to fit the product 30. In embodiment 1, the 1 st part 3a is bonded to the product 30 without any gap, but a gap for avoiding contact between the cushioning material 3 and the product 30 may be provided between the 1 st part 3a and the product 30. For example, in the case where the convex portion 32 is a decorative portion, the shape of the 1 st portion 3a may be set to a shape in which a gap is provided between the convex portion 32 and the 1 st portion 3a, thereby avoiding contact of the cushioning member 3 with the convex portion 32.

The product 30 is disposed inside the outer case 2, and the 1 st cushioning member 3 is attached to the side inner panels 8a, 8b, whereby the 1 st portion 3a is bonded to the product 30 without any gap. The product 30 is held by the cushioning member 3 inside the outer casing 2. Fig. 4 shows the packaging container 1 in which the product 30 is disposed inside the outer case 2, and the cushioning material 3 in the 1 st state is attached to the side inner panels 8a, 8 b. One of both ends of the 1 st portion 3a is inserted into the slit 11 of the side inner barrier 8 a. The other of the two ends of the 1 st part 3a is inserted into the slit 11 of the side inner barrier 8 b. The two ends of the 1 st portion 3a are two ends in the longitudinal direction of the cushioning member 3. The top inner barrier 6 and the outer barrier 7 are sequentially closed from the state shown in fig. 4, whereby the packaging of the product 30 is completed.

Fig. 5 is a diagram for explaining the orientation of the cushioning material 3 when the 2 nd packaged article is stored in the packaging container 1 according to embodiment 1. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing a case where the cushioning material 3 of the packaging container 1 according to embodiment 1 is combined with the 2 nd packaged material. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a case where the cushioning material 3 of the packaging container 1 according to embodiment 1 is disposed inside the outer case 2 together with the 2 nd object to be packaged. In fig. 5, the packaging container 1 is shown in a state in which the top inner barrier 6 and the outer barrier 7 are opened and the cushioning material 3 is separated from the outer box 2. In fig. 7, a halftone is added to the buffer member 3. In fig. 7, the product 40 is shaded.

The product 40 shown in fig. 6 and 7 is an example of the 2 nd packaged article. Product 40 is a programmable logic controller. The directions of arrows a, B, and C when the product 40 is stored in the outer case 2 are also referred to as a height direction, a width direction, and a depth direction with respect to the product 40.

The surface 41 of the product 40 faces upward when the product 40 is accommodated in the outer case 2. The surface 41 is not provided with a convex portion protruding upward. The upper end portion of the product 40 in the case where the product 40 is accommodated in the outer case 2 has a flat surface 41. The 1 st difference between the outer shape of the product 30 and the outer shape of the product 40 is that the upper end of the product 30 has a step, whereas the upper end of the product 40 has no step, and the shapes of the upper ends are different from each other. In addition, the 2 nd difference between the outer shape of the product 30 and the outer shape of the product 40 is that the height direction length of the product 30 is different from the height direction length of the product 40. Further, the width-directional length of the product 30 is the same as the width-directional length of the product 40. The depth direction length of the product 30 is the same as the depth direction length of the product 40.

As shown in fig. 5, when the product 40 is stored, the buffer member 3 is in a state in which the 2 nd portion 3b faces downward. Hereinafter, the state of the cushioning member 3 when the 2 nd portion 3b is downward will be referred to as a2 nd state. In the state 1, the buffer member 3 is rotated 90 degrees about the bending line 3c, and the state is 2. As described above, when the product 30 is stored in the outer case 2 and when the product 40 is stored in the outer case 2, the cushioning material 3 is attached to the outer case 2 with the cushioning material 3 oriented differently.

As shown in fig. 6, the cushioning material 3 is fitted to the upper end portion of the product 40 in a state where the 2 nd portion 3b is directed downward. The downward edge in the 2 nd state in the 2 nd section 3b is formed with a recess conforming to the shape of the product 40. That is, the shape of the product 40 is reflected in the 2 nd portion 3 b. The length of the recess in the width direction coincides with the length of the product 40 in the width direction. Or the length of the recess in the width direction is longer than the length of the product 40 in the width direction. The shape of the recess is a flat shape matching the face 41. The depth of the recess in the height direction is set so that the upper end portion of the product 40 is fitted to the recess in the state where the cushioning member 3 is combined with the outer case 2. As described above, the 2 nd portion 3b reflects the shape of the product 40, and is formed so as to be able to fit the product 40. In embodiment 1, the 2 nd portion 3b is bonded to the product 40 without any gap, but a gap for avoiding contact between the cushioning material 3 and the product 40 may be provided between the 2 nd portion 3b and the product 40. For example, in the case where a part of the surface 41 is a decorative surface, the shape of the 2 nd portion 3b may be set to a shape such that a gap is provided between the decorative surface of the surface 41 and the 2 nd portion 3b, thereby avoiding contact between the decorative surface of the surface 41 and the cushioning member 3.

The product 40 is disposed inside the outer case 2, and the cushioning member 3 in the 2 nd state is attached to the side inner barriers 8a, 8b, whereby the 2 nd portion 3b is bonded to the product 40 without any gap. The product 40 is held by the cushioning member 3 inside the outer casing 2. Fig. 7 shows the packaging container 1 in which the product 40 is disposed inside the outer case 2, and the cushioning material 3 in the 2 nd state is attached to the side inner panels 8a, 8 b. One of both ends of the 2 nd portion 3b is inserted into the slit 11 of the side inner barrier 8 a. The other of the two ends of the 2 nd portion 3b is inserted into the slit 11 of the side inner barrier 8 b. The two ends of the 2 nd portion 3b are two ends in the longitudinal direction of the cushioning member 3. The top inner barrier 6 and the outer barrier 7 are sequentially closed from the state shown in fig. 7, whereby the packaging of the product 40 is completed.

Fig. 8 is a view showing a state in which the cushioning material 3 in the 1 st state is attached to the outer case 2 of the packaging container 1 according to embodiment 1, and the top inner barrier 6 is closed. In fig. 8, halftone is added to the 2 nd portion 3 b. In the state where the buffer member 3 in the 1 st state is mounted in the outer case 2 and the top inner barrier 6 is closed, the 2 nd portion 3b coincides with the portion of the hole 12 from which the 2 nd portion 3b is extracted. The 2 nd part 3b is embedded in the portion of the hole 12 from which the 2 nd part 3b is extracted.

As described above, when the product 30 is stored in the outer box 2, the 2 nd portion 3b is fitted into the hole 12 from the top inner baffle 6 after the cushioning member 3 is extracted. The operator who performs the packaging of the product 30 can recognize that the cushioning material 3 is mounted in the correct orientation, based on the fact that the shape of the portion of the hole 12 into which the 2 nd portion 3b is fitted matches the shape of the 2 nd portion 3 b.

Fig. 9 is a diagram showing a case where the buffer member 3 in the 2 nd state is attached to the outer case 2 of the packaging container 1 according to embodiment 1, and the top inner barrier 6 is closed. In fig. 9, a halftone is added to the 1 st portion 3 a. In the state where the buffer member 3 in the 2 nd state is mounted in the outer case 2 and the top inner barrier 6 is closed, the 1 st portion 3a coincides with the portion of the hole 12 from which the 1 st portion 3a is extracted. The 1 st part 3a is embedded in the portion of the hole 12 from which the 1 st part 3a is extracted.

As described above, when the product 40 is stored in the outer box 2, the 1 st portion 3a is fitted into the hole 12 from the top inner baffle 6 after the cushioning member 3 is extracted. The operator who performs the packaging of the product 40 can recognize that the cushioning material 3 is mounted in the correct orientation, based on the fact that the shape of the portion of the hole 12 into which the 1 st portion 3a is fitted matches the shape of the 1 st portion 3 a.

Fig. 10 is a view showing an example in which the buffer member 3 is attached to the outer case 2 of the packaging container 1 according to embodiment 1 in an incorrect orientation. In fig. 10, a halftone is added to the 1 st portion 3 a. In fig. 10, a case is shown in which the cushioning member 3 is attached to the outer casing 2 in an orientation different from that shown in fig. 5, and the top inner barrier 6 is closed. In this case, the 1 st portion 3a enters the portion of the hole 12 from which the 2 nd portion 3b is extracted. The shape of the portion of the hole 12 into which the 1 st portion 3a is fitted is not identical to the shape of the 1 st portion 3 a. The operator who performs the packaging of the product 40 can recognize that the cushioning member 3 is mounted in the wrong orientation, based on the fact that the shape of the portion of the hole 12 into which the 1 st portion 3a is fitted does not match the shape of the 1 st portion 3 a.

The 2 nd portion 3b is fitted into the hole 12 when the product 30 is stored in the outer case 2, and the 1 st portion 3a is fitted into the hole 12 when the product 40 is stored in the outer case 2, whereby an error in the orientation of the buffer member 3 can be recognized. This reduces errors in mounting the buffer member 3 to the outer case 2, and improves workability. The buffer member 3 is extracted from the top inner baffle 6, and thus, in order to recognize an error in the orientation of the buffer member 3, the hole 12 from which the buffer member 3 is extracted can be effectively utilized.

A mark for identifying whether or not the cushioning member 3 is mounted in the correct orientation may be attached to the side inner baffle 8a or the side inner baffle 8b and the cushioning member 3. Here, an example in which a mark is given to the side inner baffle 8a and a mark is given to the cushioning material 3, among the side inner baffles 8a and 8b, will be described with reference to fig. 11 to 13. Fig. 11 is a view 1 for explaining an example of attaching a mark to the side inner baffle 8a and the buffer member 3 of the packaging container 1 according to embodiment 1. Fig. 12 is a view 2 for explaining an example of attaching a mark to the side inner baffle 8a and the buffer member 3 of the packaging container 1 according to embodiment 1. Fig. 13 is a diagram showing an example in which the buffer member 3 is attached to the outer case 2 of the packaging container 1 according to embodiment 1 in a wrong orientation. In fig. 11 and 13, halftone is added to the 2 nd portion 3 b. In fig. 12, halftone is added to the 1 st part 3 a.

In fig. 11 to 13, a circular mark 51a and a quadrangular mark 51b are attached to the surface of the side inner panel 8a that faces upward in a state in which the side inner panel 8a is bent from the side panel 5 c. As shown in fig. 11, a circular mark 52a is attached to the vicinity of one of the two ends of the 2 nd portion 3 b. As shown in fig. 12, a quadrangular marker 52b is attached to the vicinity of one of the two ends of the 1 st portion 3 a.

Fig. 11 shows a state in which the cushioning material 3 in the1 st state is attached in a correct orientation when the product 30 is packaged. When the cushioning material 3 in the1 st state is attached in the correct orientation, the mark 51a of the side inner panel 8a is attached to a position adjacent to the mark 52a of the2 nd portion 3 b. The operator who performs the packaging of the product 30 confirms the mark 51a of the side inner barrier 8a and the mark 52a of the cushioning member 3 before the top inner barrier 6 is closed after the cushioning member 3 is inserted into the slit 11 of the side inner barriers 8a and 8 b. The worker can recognize that the cushioning material 3 is mounted in a correct orientation by the circular mark 51a and the circular mark 52a being adjacent to each other.

Fig. 12 shows a state in which the buffer member 3 in the 2 nd state is mounted in a correct orientation when the product 40 is packaged. When the buffer member 3 in the 2 nd state is mounted in the correct orientation, the mark 51b of the side inner baffle 8a is attached to a position adjacent to the mark 52b of the 1 st portion 3 a. The operator who performs the packaging of the product 40 confirms the mark 51b of the side inner barrier 8a and the mark 52b of the cushioning member 3 before the top inner barrier 6 is closed after the cushioning member 3 is inserted into the slit 11 of the side inner barriers 8a and 8 b. The operator can recognize that the cushioning material 3 is attached in a correct orientation by the adjacent square marks 51b and 52 b.

Fig. 13 shows a state in which the cushioning material 3 in the 1 st state is attached in a wrong orientation when the product 30 is packaged. The orientation of the cushioning members 3 is different from that shown in fig. 12, whereby the mark 52a of the 2 nd portion 3b is not adjacent to the mark 51a of the side inner barrier 8 a. The circular mark 51a and the circular mark 52a are not adjacent, and thus an operator who performs packaging of the product 30 can recognize that the cushioning member 3 is mounted in the wrong orientation.

In the case of packaging the product 40, the mark 52b of the 1 st portion 3a is not adjacent to the mark 51b of the side inner barrier 8a when the cushioning member 3 in the 2 nd state is mounted in the wrong orientation. The quadrangular mark 51b and the quadrangular mark 52b are not adjacent, and thus an operator who performs packaging of the product 40 can recognize that the cushioning material 3 is mounted in the wrong direction.

As described above, the marks 51a and 51b are attached to the side inner baffle plate 8a, and the marks 52a and 52b are attached to the cushion member 3, respectively, so that it is possible to recognize whether or not the cushion member 3 is mounted in the correct orientation, and thus, it is possible to reduce errors in mounting the cushion member 3 to the outer case 2, and to improve workability.

When the marks 51a and 51b are attached to the side inner panel 8b, the mark 51a of the side inner panel 8b is attached to a position adjacent to the mark 52a of the 2 nd portion 3b when the cushioning material 3 in the 1 st state is attached in a correct orientation. When the cushioning material 3 in the 2 nd state is attached in a correct orientation, the mark 51b of the side inner panel 8b is attached to a position adjacent to the mark 52b of the 1 st portion 3 a. Even when the marks 51a and 51b are attached to the side inner panel 8b, the operator can recognize whether or not the cushion member 3 is attached in the correct orientation, and workability can be improved.

The marks 51a, 51b are not limited to being attached to the side inner barrier 8a or the side inner barrier 8b. The marks 51a, 51b may be attached to the top inner panel 6. In embodiment 1, a mark for identifying whether or not the cushioning member 3 is attached in the correct orientation may be provided to at least 1 cushioning member 3 out of the side inner baffle 8a, the side inner baffle 8b, and the top inner baffle 6.

In the case of attaching the marks 51a and 51b to the ceiling inner barrier 6, the marks 51a and 51b are attached to the upper surface of the ceiling inner barrier 6 in the closed state of the ceiling inner barrier 6. When the cushioning material 3 in the 1 st state is attached in a correct orientation, the mark 51a of the ceiling inner panel 6 is attached to a position adjacent to the mark 52a of the 2 nd portion 3 b. When the cushioning material 3 in the 2 nd state is attached in the correct orientation, the mark 51b of the top inner panel 6 is attached to a position adjacent to the mark 52b of the 1 st portion 3 a.

The operator who performs the packaging of the product 30 confirms the mark 51a of the top inner barrier 6 and the mark 52a of the cushioning member 3 before closing the outer barrier 7 after closing the top inner barrier 6. The worker can recognize that the cushioning material 3 is mounted in a correct orientation by the circular mark 51a and the circular mark 52a being adjacent to each other. The operator who performs the packaging of the product 40 confirms the mark 51b of the top inner barrier 6 and the mark 52b of the cushioning member 3 before closing the outer barrier 7 after closing the top inner barrier 6. The operator can recognize that the cushioning material 3 is attached in a correct orientation by the adjacent square marks 51b and 52 b. Even when the marks 51a and 51b are attached to the ceiling inner panel 6, the operator can recognize whether or not the buffer member 3 is attached in the correct orientation, and workability can be improved.

Note that, the marks attached to at least 1 of the side inner panel 8a, the side inner panel 8b, and the ceiling inner panel 6 and the buffer member 3 may be marks other than the marks 51a, 51b, 52a, and 52b described in embodiment 1 as long as it is possible to recognize whether or not the buffer member 3 is attached in the correct orientation. In embodiment 1, the mark is a display that can visually recognize the shape. The marks may be in a shape other than circles or quadrilaterals. The marks are not limited to graphics, and may be characters. The marking may be a combination of graphics and text. The position and shape of the mark are arbitrary.

The packaging container 1 has a cushioning member 3, and the cushioning member 3 has a 1 st portion 3a capable of being attached to the product 30 and a 2 nd portion 3b capable of being attached to the product 40, whereby the common corrugated cardboard 20 can be used in the case of packaging the product 30 and the case of packaging the product 40. The corrugated cardboard 20 can be used in common among the products 30 and 40 having different shapes, whereby the cost of the packing material can be suppressed as compared with the case where a dedicated packing material is required for each product.

The cushioning members 3 are members extracted from the top inner panel 6, whereby it is possible to prepare no packing materials for forming the cushioning members 3 separately from the corrugated cardboard 20. No packaging material other than the corrugated cardboard 20 is required, whereby the cost of the packaging material can be suppressed. The cushioning material 3 is not limited to the material extracted from the top inner panel 6, and may be a material extracted from a portion other than the top inner panel 6 of the corrugated cardboard sheet 20. The cushioning member 3 may be formed using a packing material other than the corrugated cardboard 20.

In the above description, the product 30 as the 1 st packaged item and the product 40 as the 2 nd packaged item are set to have different shapes of the upper end portions and different lengths in the height direction from each other. The products 30 and 40 may be different from each other in width direction length. Regarding the objects to be packaged that can be packaged using the common corrugated cardboard 20, at least 1 of the shape, the height direction length, and the width direction length of the upper end portion of the objects to be packaged may be different from each other, and thus the outer shapes may be different from each other. The 1 st portion 3a having a shape conforming to the outer shape of the 1 st object to be packaged and the 2 nd portion 3b having a shape conforming to the outer shape of the 2 nd object to be packaged are provided to the cushioning member 3, whereby an effect that the packaging materials can be commonly used among objects to be packaged having different outer shapes can be obtained.

The packaging container 1 is not limited to being capable of storing 2 objects to be packaged. The packaging container 1 may be capable of storing 3 or more objects to be packaged. The packaging container 1 according to embodiment 1 may be capable of accommodating objects to be packaged having different outer shapes from the 1 st object to be packaged and the 2 nd object to be packaged. For example, the top inner baffle 6 may be cut out so that the cushioning members 3 having different shapes from each other can be extracted, and the cushioning members 3 having shapes matching the outer shape of the packaged object can be extracted from the top inner baffle 6. As described above, by appropriately changing the shape of the cushioning material 3, the cushioning material 3 that can be attached to the packaged objects having different outer shapes from the 1 st packaged object and the 2 nd packaged object can be obtained.
