Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a package according to a first embodiment of the present invention as viewed from above.

  The package 10 is used for accommodating, for example, a camera as a product and its accessories. The package 10 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a main body 11 for storing articles to be stored (that is, a camera and accessories), a pair of flaps 12 and 13 for covering the opening of the main body 11, and the opening completely An outer lid 14 for closing and a bottom plate 15 are provided. The distal end portion 16 of the outer lid 14 is bent toward the main body portion 11 side. A protrusion 17 that is inserted into a slit (not shown) formed in a bent portion of the tip end portion 16 is formed on the upper portion on the front side of the main body portion 11.

  An attached piece 20 is connected to one flap 12 in a state where it can be cut by a perforation 21. The accessory piece 20 is a storefront POP used as a sales promotion tool (a sales promotion display tool) used together with the package 10 at a storefront. That is, the accessory piece 10 is cut from the flap 12 at a store, assembled, and displayed as a POP at the store with the product.

  FIG. 2 shows a POP 22 formed from the accessory piece 20. The POP 22 is formed by bending an attachment piece 20 that is a plate-like member, and includes a substrate 23 placed on an upper surface of a showcase or the like, that is, a horizontal surface, and a back support plate 24 that stands vertically from the substrate 23. The front plate portion 25 rises from the substrate 23, and the upper end of the front plate portion 25 and the back support plate 24 are connected by the upper plate portion 26. The front plate portion 25 and the upper plate portion 26 form an opening 27 into which a product (for example, a camera) 30 can be inserted. The product 30 is placed on the substrate 23 and displayed at the store with the end portion inserted into the opening 27. Information such as the performance of the product 30 is printed on the substrate 23, the back support plate 24, the front plate portion 25, and the upper plate portion 26.

  The package 10 is assembled in a box shape by folding a pattern paper or the like punched out from a single flexible plate into a predetermined shape using a punching die or the like. As the flexible plate, paper such as a coated ball or cardboard is usually used, but a thin plate such as a synthetic resin may be used.

  FIG. 3 shows a flexible plate 40 from which the package 10 is cut. A single flexible plate 40 is formed so as to be capable of being cut out in a state where the two packages 10 are deployed in a planar shape. In the flexible plate 40, the package 10 is configured by connecting flaps 12, 13, an outer lid 14, a bottom plate 15, and a projecting piece 17 to a main body portion 11 developed in a band shape. A slit 18 into which the protruding piece 17 is inserted is formed at the distal end portion 16 of the outer lid 14.

  In the flexible plate 40, each package 10 is formed point-symmetrically with respect to the center of the flexible plate 40. That is, the two strip-shaped main body portions 11 are arranged in parallel, the bottom plate 15 is located outside, and the flaps 12 and 13, the outer lid 14, and the projecting piece 17 are located inside. The attachment piece 20 is provided at the front end of the flap 12, that is, the side facing the other package 10, and the perforation 21 is parallel to the main body portion 11. The two attachment pieces 20 are formed at substantially the center of the flexible plate 40.

  FIG. 4 is an enlarged plan view showing the accessory piece 20. The attachment piece 20 is a rectangular plate-like member, and one of the long sides is connected to the flap 12 by a perforation 21. A straight cut portion 51 is provided on the other side of the long side. The cut portion 51 is cut so as not to reach the edge of the attachment piece 20, that is, the pair of short sides, and has first and second end portions 52 and 53. The attachment piece 20 is divided into first and second support portions 54 and 55 by the cut portion 51. The second support portion 55 is provided on the side opposite to the perforation 21, and the width of the second support portion 55 along the direction perpendicular to the cut portion 51 is smaller than the width of the first support portion 54.

  The first support portion 54 is formed with a first fold 56 extending perpendicularly from the cut portion 51 between the first and second end portions 52 and 53. Further, the first support portion 54 is formed with a semicircular cut portion 59 whose both ends are located in the first fold 56. The second support portion 55 is formed with a second fold 57 extending perpendicularly from the cut portion 51 at the first and second end portions 52 and 53. The second support portion 55 is formed with a third fold 58 extending vertically from the cut portion 15 between the first and second end portions 52 and 53.

  A method for assembling the POP 22 will be described with reference to FIGS. As described above with reference to FIG. 1, the POP 22 is formed by opening the outer lid 14 of the package 10 to separate the attachment piece 20 from the flap 12 and bending it at the store. In this bending operation, the first support portion 54 presses the semicircular plate portion 60 surrounded by the cut portion 59 to perform valley folds on the first fold 56, whereby the substrate 23 and the back support plate 24 are moved. Molded. At the same time, the front plate portion 25 and the upper plate portion 26 are formed by performing a valley fold on the second fold 57 and a mountain fold on the third fold 58 in the second support portion 55.

  An opening 27 defined by the front plate portion 25 and the upper plate portion 26 is substantially rectangular. Part of the product placed on the substrate 23 is inserted into the opening 27, and part of the product is hidden by the front plate part 25 and the upper plate part 26. A photo of the hidden part may be printed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the package 10 and the accessory piece 20 are formed on the single flexible plate 40. Therefore, compared with the case where only the package 10 is formed on the flexible plate 40, the portion to be discarded is reduced, the utilization efficiency of the flexible plate 40 is improved, and the manufacturing cost of the package 10 and the POP 22 can be reduced. .

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the attachment piece 20 which does not comprise the package 10 is continuously provided in the flap 12 in the state which can be cut | disconnected. Accordingly, the work of storing the POP in the individual package 10 in the manufacturer of the product is unnecessary, and management such as storing and checking the POP is not required.

  The accessory piece 20 is formed as the POP 22 by simply pressing the semicircular plate portion 60 and performing valley folds or mountain folds along the folds 56, 57, 58. As described above, the POP 22 has a simple structure, can be manufactured easily and inexpensively, and the back support plate 24 can be formed into a size as required, so that there is a space for describing information such as product performance. Sufficiently secured.

  Further, in the state where the product is placed on the POP 22, the semicircular plate portion 60 projects rearward from the back support plate 24, so that the POP 33 is held in a stable state. Further, since the perforation 21 is hidden by the product, the perforation 21 does not stand out. In addition, if the method of assembling the POP 22 is illustrated in a portion of the back support plate 24 hidden by the product, anyone can easily assemble the POP 22.

  Since the POP 22 is used together with the package 10, it is preferable that information such as product performance printed on these surfaces is usually written in the same language. In the present embodiment, since the package 10 and the accessory piece 20 are configured to be printed on one flexible plate 40 at the same time, the printing process on the package 10 and the accessory piece 20 is performed at the same time. It becomes easy to match.
