Finally, the inner flap 6 and the outer flap 7 are folded and overlapped with the inner flap 6 inside, and sealed and packed with a tape (not shown).

The upper buffer 19 is engaged with the futon suction tool 2b and the handle 3a by the first notch 20 and the second notch 21, respectively, and is positioned in contact with the suction hose 3 by the projection 22. Therefore, the upper buffer 19 does not move during the packing operation, and can be folded without raising the flaps 6 and 7 of the outer box 5, thereby improving the workability of closing the outer box 5. In particular, when packing operation is performed by a machine, there is no possibility that the tape for closing the outer box is stuck while the flaps 6 and 7 are left floating, and occurrence of defective packing can be prevented.

The upper buffer 19 is formed smaller than the inner size of the outer box 5 in order to secure a storage space for the suction hose 3 and the futon suction tool 2b, so that the volume of the upper buffer 19 can be reduced. And reduce adverse effects on the environment.

When transporting the packing device assembled in this manner, a pair of tongue pieces 8, 8 are bent in the left-right direction to form a handle hole 9, and the side face 5c provided with the handle hole 9 is formed.
, The longitudinal direction of the outer box 5 is vertical,
The hand is inserted from the handle hole 9, a finger is hooked on the concave portion 14, and conveyed with one hand.
