Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a box, and particularly to a cardboard box to which adhesive tape is attached.

Cardboard boxes are used to package goods and products for transportation or storage. To seal a cardboard box, use adhesive tape to attach the butt part of the outer flap and the corners of the top and side surfaces. This is done by wearing clothes. To open a cardboard box sealed with such adhesive tape, the user peeled off the edge of the adhesive tape with his fingernail, lifted it, and then peeled off the adhesive tape. In particular, OPP (oriented polypropylene) adhesive tape, which has been widely used recently due to its low price, has excellent strength and can be formed relatively thin, and its adhesive strength has also improved, making it easy to use for nails, etc. It was difficult to bring up the edges of the adhesive tape. In addition, the adhesive tape located at the closing portion of the outer flap was cut using a cutter knife.

Peeling adhesive tape from a cardboard box with your fingernails is time-consuming and may damage your nails, while cutting it with a utility knife may damage the products stored in the cardboard box, so be careful when doing this. There was a need. Furthermore, even if the package is opened with a utility knife, when repulping a cardboard box for resource recycling, the adhesive tape remaining on the cardboard box must be carefully removed, which takes time and effort. There was no difference.

Therefore, a cardboard box is known in which a cut is formed near the adhesive tape (Patent Document 1). When opening a cardboard box, insert your fingertip into the cut and break part of the cardboard box to remove the adhesive tape. This eliminates the need to use a nail to hold up the end of the adhesive tape.

In addition, other easy-to-open boxes are equipped with a tab piece that allows a part of the box to be removed via the cutting line or half-cutting line by forming a cutting line or half-cutting line at the position of the affixed tape. It is configured such that the end of the tape is positioned (Patent Document 2). The cut lines or half-cut lines that define the tab pieces make it possible to easily pinch the ends of the tape, making it easy to open the box.
