It consists of a cardboard development that generates a 150 x 150 x 150 mm cube up to 300 x 300 x 300 mm, equipped with two indentations in the upper face where a plastic handle to allow handling and transport. Packaging and closure is made by the top by two flaps sides and a lid with a safety tab. Present a dotted die and a cleft on the front face by way of dispenser to allow opening and closing by the final consumer.

Background of the invention

There are currently many containers on the market to contain potatoes and other tubers and bulbs, being able to quote the packaging of nets or polyethylene mesh with plastic band for product quantities between 1,000 g and 4,000 g, plastic boats containing between 500 and 2,000 g of the mentioned products and bags of plastic or paper to contain quantities between 5,000 and 50,000 g of these products. There are boxes of cardboard to contain 12,500 g of potatoes.

All these systems have different inconveniences:

one.

Exposure of the product to direct light : what generates Solanin production in potatoes, glycoalkaloid whose ingestion is not advisable for health, as it can cause gastrointestinal and neurological problems. In addition, incidence of light causes rapid germination of tubers and bulbs.

2.

Direct exposure to the environment (I) : with which the tubers and bulbs are susceptible to contamination by contact with other products or substances in the backroom or in the linear and are exposed to manipulation by unauthorized personnel or contact with opportunistic fauna.

3.

Exposure to the environment (II) : Likewise, contact with the ambient air produces losses of moisture through evaporation with the consequent wrinkling and loss of turgidity of the packaged product.

Four.

Storage : containers in plastic or cardboard bags and nets or plastic meshes are no longer useful in their function of containing the product once opened and it is not possible to store them in shelves or kitchen furniture where it is intended to maintain a minimum of hygiene . They are not stackable.

5.

Respect for the environment : Plastics used in meshes and bags are hardly degradable in the environment.

Also, there are other cardboard boxes for packaging of other products on the market, but not in the form of a bucket and less for packaging of fruit and vegetable products.

Unlike other packages that currently there are in the market the box of the invention presents multiple Advantages: the product does not receive light so that problems are avoided greening (by Solanina generation) and fast notching. By the same reason is not in contact with the environment, avoiding contamination with other products or animals and avoiding excessive moisture losses.

In addition, it allows you to store the product that Contains anywhere in the home (shelves, shelves ...) without leave remains and keeping the product in its closed container for the entire life of said product. Because of its size it is transported comfortably and stacked anywhere. It is made of cardboard recycled being its degradation in the environment much more Fast than that of plastic containers.

Description of a preferred embodiment

Offset printing on coated paper brightness.

This is contracolado in a cardboard of low grammage

Subsequently the punching is performed according to Figure 1.

After the die cut the bottom is mounted semi-automatic with flaps 1, 2, 3 and 4 (Figure 1) and glued tab 5 with side 6 of the (Figure 1).

Once this process is completed, it is prepared for manual final assembly.

In product packaging facilities, form the box manually with the semi-automatic closure leaving it ready for filling with the product.

Once filled the box closes manually (Figure 2) lowering the flap 7, over it the flap 8 and finally the top cover 9, fitting the tab 10 of the top cover 9 in the groove between the flaps 7 and 8 and the side face 10 and ending the security lock with tab 11.

Once closed, the plastic handle is inserted (Figure 3) on the top cover 9 and the top flaps 7 and 8 of Figure 2.

In this way the box is closed (Figure 4) no possibility of being opened easily except if it ends pierce the dotted line of the dispenser 12 (Figure 5).
