This invention relates to a packaging box for transporting electric guitars of various shapes safely and reliably.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, when transporting a guitar, in order to prevent damage during transport, the body and the neck have been tightly secured and packaged using a packaging material such as styrofoam. For guitars, which are produced in small quantities with a wide variety of products, it is difficult to use molded packaging materials that fit the shape of the product like general home appliances due to cost reasons, so it is generally packed with small-cut foam packaging materials. The current situation is that it is packed in a large amount of packaging.

However, this type of foam packaging material is not only more expensive than other materials such as cardboard, but also requires disposal using chemicals after being transported from the manufacturer to the retailer. It was troublesome.

In addition, in the past, even if the guitar was securely wrapped in packaging material, the joint between the neck and the body of the guitar was often damaged. This is thought to be because the neck and the body were each securely wrapped, and the impact was applied to both, causing damage to these joints.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In view of the above situation, this invention can be packaged to accommodate the various shapes of guitars produced in small quantities and in a wide variety of products. The present invention aims to provide a packaging box with a new structure that does not cause damage to joints.
