2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, electric appliances including lighting appliances are stored and transported in a packaging box made of cardboard or the like.
This protects the product from quality deterioration due to product damage and stains, and facilitates handling at the distribution stage.

A conventional packaging box has a bottom surface, a side surface which is connected to the bottom surface and is foldable, and a top surface which is foldable continuously to the side surface and has a size equal to the size of the bottom surface. An electric appliance such as a lighting fixture is stored in a storage space formed by bending a bottom surface and a side surface, and after storage, when the storage opening of the storage space is closed by the pair of upper surfaces, the electric appliance is outside the box. The structure is such that it cannot be seen from the outside (for example, JP 2001-13
No. 0667, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-31823, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-301653, etc.).

In addition, due to the growing interest in waste treatment due to global environmental problems in recent years, the market needs to minimize the number of packaging boxes (corrugated cardboard) that are unnecessary after installation of lighting equipment. Therefore, as shown in FIG. When the appliance 94 is housed in the packaging box 90 and the pair of upper surfaces 93 of the packaging box 90 are closed, the electric appliance 94 has an opening 95 visible from the outside of the packaging box 90.
The method of reducing the usage amount of the corrugated cardboard base paper forming the packaging box 90 is adopted by adopting a configuration in which the parts are partially provided. In the packaging form of the packaging box 90 provided with the opening 95, a packaging structure is adopted in which the openings 95 generated after packaging of the lighting equipment are overlapped with each other and are bound together by the sealing tape 96, and placed in the distribution process. Such a packaging box 90 is particularly suitable for packaging a luminaire having a luminaire main body that becomes invisible due to the luminaire reflector after the construction of the luminaire.

[0005]

However, in the distribution stage, there is a case in which one unit separates and transports. In this case, as shown in FIG.
The sealing tape 96 that binds the two packaging boxes 90 is cut into individual pieces. At that time, since the opening 95 of the packaging box 90 is exposed, there is a problem that dust or the like enters through the opening 95 to stain the product. The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a packaging structure in which dust or the like is unlikely to enter from the opening even when the packaging box having the opening is transported one by one. And
