  • the provision of connection panels makes it possible to provide a closed envelope 20. It is conceivable to remove the material in the area such that there are no such connection panels. In such a case, it is still possible to provide the cushion effect achieved by the provision of the protruding corner portions A61, A62, A71, A72, A81, A82, A1, A92, but there is a risk that a small gap is formed in the corner formed by the bottom panel A3 and the side walls A6, A7, A8, A9 when the envelope 20 is erected to receive the goods.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view of an envelope 20, prior to inserting a product into the envelope 20.
  • the envelope 20, shown in figure 2 is formed by folding the blank 10, shown in figure 1 , into an envelope 20. It may be noted that the envelope 20 is in a flat-laid state.
  • Figure 2 shows that the first and the second main panels A1, A2 are folded relative to the respective bottom panel A3-1, A3-2.
  • Figure 2 shows that when first and the second main panels A1, A2 are folded relative to the respective bottom panel A3-1, A3-2, the side panels A6, A7 of the first main panel A1 are arranged on the side panels A8, A9 of the second main panel A2.
  • Figure 2 shows that the first and the second main panels A1, A2 are folded relative to the internal bottom fold line FL3 of the bottom panel A3-1, A3-2 of the envelope 20.
  • Figure 2 further shows that a portion of the side panels A6, A7 of a first main panel A1 is attached to a portion of the side panels A8, A9 of a second main panel A2.
  • figure 2 shows that outer sub side panels A6-2, A7-2 of the first main panel A1 is attached to outer sub side panels A8-2, A9-2 of the second main panel A2.
  • Figure 2 shows that the outer sub side panels A6-2, A7-2, A8-2, A9-2 of the envelope 20 protrude outwardly.
  • the outer sub side panels A6-2, A7-2, A8-2, A9-2 may be adhesively attached to each other.
  • the outer sub side panels A6-2, A7-2, A8-2, A9-2 may be attached by hot-melt glue or by double-sided tape.
  • the outer sub side panels A6-2, A7-2, A8-2, A9-2 may be attached to each other in any other manner which per se is known in the art.
  • Figure 3 shows a perspective view of an envelope 20 in an erected state.
  • the envelope 20, shown in figure 3 has been provided by erecting the envelope 20, shown in figure 2.
  • Figure 3 shows that the bottom panels A3-1, A3-2 are being folded relative to each other about the internal bottom fold line FL3 from a flat-laid state where they almost abut each other inside to inside to an erected state where they almost extend in a common plane.
  • Figure 3 further shows that the first and the second main panels A1, A2 are folded relative to the respective bottom panel A3-1, A3-2.
  • the protruding corner portions A61, A71, A81, A91 extend longitudinally L from the respective side wall panel A6, A7, A8, A9 past the bottom wall 3 the envelope 20.
  • Figure 3 further shows that the top panel A5 is folded relative to the first main panel A1 about the second transversely extending edge FL15 of the first main panel A1.
  • Figure 3 further shows that the sub top panel A5-1 is folded relative to first main panel A1 and about the second transversely extending edge FL15 of the first main panel A1.
  • Figure 3 further shows that the sub top panels A5-2, A5-3 are folded relative to the sub top panel A5-1 and about the fold line FL55.
  • the additional panel A4 may be folded relative to the second main panel A2 along the fold line FL24.
  • the protective wall, formed by the additional panel A4 may be arranged under, or alternatively expressed inside, the sub top wall A5-1, formed by the sub top panel A5-1.
  • the protective wall and the sub top wall A5-1 may jointly close an opening of the envelope 20.
  • the protective wall and the sub top wall A5-1 need not completely close the opening of the envelope 20. It is preferred that the opening is at least closed to such an extent that goods is prevented from falling out of the envelope. In one embodiment, the opening is completely closed.
  • top panel A5 when the top panel A5 is folded relative to the first main panel A1 about the second transversely extending edge FL15 of the first main panel A1, the top panel A5 may extend longitudinally L on or alongside the second main wall 2 of the envelope 20.
  • Figure 3 shows how the sub top panels A5-1, A5-2 may extend longitudinally L on the second main wall 2 of the envelope 20.
  • the top wall 5 of the envelope 20 may be attached to the second main wall 2 of the envelope 20.
  • Figure 3 shows that the top wall 5 of the envelope 20 is attached to the second main wall 2 of the envelope 20.
  • the top wall 5 of the envelope 20 may be adhesively attached, such as by hot-melt glue or by double-sided tape.
  • the top panel 5 may be attached to the second main wall 2 of the envelope 20 in any other manner which per se is known in the art. As shown in figure 3 , when the top panel A5 is folded relative to the first main panel A1 about the second transversely extending edge FL15 of the first main panel A1, the protruding corner portions A62, A72, A82, A92 extend longitudinally L' from the respective side wall panel A6, A7, A8, A9 past the top wall 5 the envelope 20.
  • Figures 4-5 show two respective perspective views of the envelope 20, shown in figure 3 , while being opened.
  • Figure 4 shows a tear strip TS of the envelope 20 being torn off.
  • the tear strip TS may conveniently be torn off by grabbing the tear strip TS from one side and ripping the tear strip TS away.
  • Figure 5 shows that the tear strip TS is completely torn off and top wall 5 the envelope 20 is opened, with the additional panel 4 still partly covering the opening.
  • Figure 5 shows that the third sub top wall 5-3 is still attached on the second main wall 2.
  • Figure 5 shows that the second sub top wall 5-2 has been released from the second main wall 2 of the envelope 20.
  • first guiding tab provided on or associated with the same panel as the one being provided with the locking flap, as e.g. shown in figure 1 , is a preferred combination but that it is possible that e.g. the first guiding tab may be associated with the side wall panel and the locking flap may be provided on the end panel.
