The intended for the interior of the school box different distribution can above open, in cross section square or rectangular compartments and one or more have box-like inserts, wherein the open-topped compartments by a folded with Longitudinal webs insert insert, which can be subdivided by variably insertable transverse webs is, are formed. For this purpose, it is advantageous if the unfolded longitudinal webs and the pluggable crossbars each with complementary pockets in the Form of vertical, tongue-shaped recesses are formed. That's it expedient that the pockets of the longitudinal and transverse webs are arranged such that the nested longitudinal and transverse webs with the insides of the school box in the Limit cross section square or rectangular trained subjects.

So that the insert provided with the unfolded longitudinal webs immovably in the school box is held, it is also expedient whose base area in size so too measured to match the clear base of the interior of the school box.

So in addition to the subjects also the box-like inserts in the interior of the school box Find space in which especially longer school items such as brushes, pencils and Like. Can be stored, it is advantageous if the length of the unfolded longitudinal webs only a partial area, preferably about 2/3, corresponds to the longitudinal extent of the school box. As a result, in addition to the unfolded longitudinal webs of the insert within the box-like lower part of the school box remaining free space at least one box-like Use, but preferably two box-like inserts are provided. there It is also appropriate that the box-like inserts in the longitudinal direction of Longitudinal webs are provided and fill the space completely, in the form of several flat box-like inserts on top of each other.

The box-shaped inserts which can be inserted into the free space formed within the school box have expediently also the shape of a carton of a one-piece Carton blank, where appropriate, to increase the stability here, too, the side surfaces and / or the floor can be made double-layered.

To easily lift out the insertable into the space of the school box by hand and to be able to use, in addition, in the inner side surfaces of the box-like Inserts punched handles for folding and unfolding be provided.

Finally, it has been proven that the box with base and lid as a school box and their inner division of cardboard and / or plastic, where it is for the user The school box according to the invention is particularly appealing when the school box together inner division consists of a lacquered cardboard, whereby also a different Color distribution is possible, such.
