The in 1 shown one-piece blank 1 for a carton is made of foldable material (eg cardboard) that can be printed and / or coated, and has the shape of an elongated rectangle. The cut 1 has a jacket section 2 , a narrow lower floor surface section 3 and a narrow upper closure portion 4 on. The bottom surface section 3 is over a bottom fold line 30 and the closure section 4 over a closure fold line 40 with the jacket section 2 connected. The jacket section 2 is each by side fold lines 20 . 21 . 22 . 23 coming from the bottom fold line 30 up to the closure fold line 40 run, in two rear surface sections 24a . 24b , two side surface sections 25a . 25b and a front surface portion 26 divided. The front surface section 26 is between the two side surface sections 25a . 25b arranged, in turn, between the front surface portion 26 and a rear surface portion, respectively 24a . 24b are arranged. The two side surface sections 25a . 25b are mirror-symmetrical to the central axis M of the front surface portion 26 and form at the time of the cut 1 erected carton opposite side surfaces. The in the embodiment shown also to the central axis M mirror-symmetrical rear surface sections 24a . 24b are, when attached to each other, congruent to the front surface portion 26 , with which they also form opposite side surfaces of the erected carton. In the embodiment shown, the central axis M is formed as a fold line.

The two each have a side surface section 25a . 25b limiting side fold lines 20 . 21 respectively. 22 . 23 proceed from the bottom fold line 30 parallel to each other and taper in the upper third of the shell section 2 until they are on the lock fold line 40 in one point 27a respectively. 27b meet. These points 27a . 27b form the tips of the gable-shaped side surface portions in the embodiment shown 25a . 25b , The mainly straight configuration and the parallel arrangement of the surface sections 24a . 24b . 25a . 26 . 25b allow the packaging of an elongated and in particular stationary object using the blank 1 erected carton. To the back surface section 24a closes along the entire shell section 2 laterally a jacket connection section 28 on, via a parallel to the central axis M folding line 29 with the back surface portion 24a connected is. When erecting the blank 1 comes the jacket connection section 28 on the other rear surface section 24b flat to the plant and is glued to this.

The bottom surface section 3 is through five bottom tabs 31a . 31b . 32a . 32b . 33 formed, each above the bottom fold line 30 with the surface sections 24a . 24b . 25a . 25b . 26 of the jacket section 2 are connected and mirror-symmetrical to the central axis M. To the bottom flap 31a the back surface portion 24a closes over the fold line 29 laterally a ground connection section 34 on, with the jacket connection section 28 not connected, but through an incision 35 is disconnected. To form the carton, the two bottom flaps 31a . 31b by means of the ground connection section 34 together to a common bottom flap 31a / 31b connected, and then these four bottom flaps 31a / 31b . 32a . 32b . 33 to a stable, stable floor surface (plug bottom) plugged into each other.

The closure section 4 is by an upwardly tapering trapezoidal closure flap 41 formed with the front surface section 26 over the closure fold line 40 from that one point 27a to the other point 27b connected is. In other words, the locking tab 41 on the entire width of the front surface portion 26 with this over the lock fold line 40 connected. The locking tab 41 has a central insertion flap 42 on the one to the closure fold line 40 parallel fold line 43 with the locking tab 41 is connected and in its central area one in the locking tab 41 semicircular cut-out male projection 44 having. The back surface section 24a and the jacket connecting portion 28 as well as the back surface section 24b each have a plug-in receptacle 45a . 45b in the form of a slot, with the two plug-in receptacles 45a . 45b in interconnected rear surface sections 24a . 24b a common plug-in opening 46 ( 2 ) train. Furthermore, the blank has 1 in the area of the front surface section 26 along the closure fold line 40 two carrying openings (slots) 47 on, which are arranged symmetrically to the central axis M. The closure section 4 also has two protection or stabilization approximately lax 48a . 48b on, each via the closure fold line 40 or a folding line parallel thereto with the two back surface sections 24a . 24b connected and from the points 27a . 27b out. The width B of the protective or stabilizing tabs 48a . 48b is smaller than the width of the back surface portions 24a . 24b where the remaining upper edge 2a . 2 B of the jacket section 2 opposite the closure fold line 40 is set back in parallel. The width B of the protective or stabilizing flap 48a . 48b is smaller than the distance A of the slots 47 to the points 27a . 27b ,

In the 2a and 2 B shown folding box 1' is from the blank folded along its fold lines 1 of the 1 erected, with the two back surface sections 24a . 24b over the jacket connection section 28 and the bottom flaps 31a . 31b over the ground connection section 34 each glued together and wherein the bottom flaps 30a / 30b . 32a . 32b . 34 are inserted into each other to a stable, stable floor surface. By connecting the bottom flaps 31a . 31b by means of the ground connection section 34 the unfolding is simplified and there is a material doubling in the bottom area, which increases the stability. The by running into the tips 27a . 27b conditional curvature of the side fold lines 20 . 21 . 22 . 23 effects in the erected carton 1' a tension which the two back surface sections 24a . 24b in the area of the closure fold line 40 already squeezing in the direction of each other. The locking tab 41 is around the lock fold line 40 on the back surface sections 24a . 24b folded down and attacks with its plug projection 44 in the plug-in opening 46 a, whereby the upper closing end 4 ' the carton 1' is closed. The between the two back surface sections 24a . 24b existing seam 49 lies the fold line M of the front surface portion 26 across from. This also in the locking tab 41 and in the bottom flap 33 extending fold line M allows the blank 1 even after folding along fold lines M, 29 and after gluing the adhesive sections 28 . 34 with the sections 24b . 31b initially forming a flat erectile carton. The two protective or stabilizing straps 48a . 48b prevent kinks in the back and front surface sections 24a . 24b . 26 and protect sensitive goods from damage and body parts (eg fingers) from injury. As 2 B shows is through the carrying openings 47 one more carrier (carrying strap or cord) 50 threaded. The parallel set back upper edge 2a . 2 B of the jacket section 2 results in a recess 51 ( 4a ) for receiving the carrier 50 ,

From the cut of 1 is different in the 3 shown cut 101 in that here are two side tabs 102 with the locking tab 41 each about folding lines 103 , which obliquely to the closure fold line 40 run, are connected. In addition, in the two back surface sections 24a . 24b one plug opening each 104 for inserting the tabs 102 the folded flap 41 intended.

In the 4a and 4b shown folding box 101 ' is from the folded along its fold lines and appropriately glued blank 101 of the 3 erected, with the protective or stabilizing tabs 48a . 48b bent inwards ( 4a ). In 4b is the locking tab 41 around the closure fold line 40 on the back surface sections 24a . 24b folded down and grabs with her two tabs 102 in the plug-in openings 104 a, whereby the upper closing end 4 ' the carton 101 ' is closed.

From the cut of 3 is different in the 5 shown cut 201 in that here the two each have a side surface section 25a . 25b limiting side fold lines 20 . 21 respectively. 22 . 23 run elliptical over their entire length until they are in point 27a . 27b coincide, and that the closure section 4 no protective or stabilizing straps 48a . 48b having. Further shows 5 in that the two back surface sections 24a . 24b which is not with the locking tab 41 are connected, opposite the closure fold line 40 at least the material thickness c of the blank 201 are set back down.

Instead of the bottom portion, the shell portion 2 also one above a closure fold line 40 connected closure flap 41 have, resulting in a carton with two identical closure ends 4 ' results.

In embodiments not shown, the locking tab is not on the front surface portion 26 but in half at the back surface sections 24a . 24b tethered. In forming the carton, these two closure tab halves are preferably joined to the back surface portions, preferably after being joined together to form a common closure tab 24a . 24b plugged or glued.
