After folding the pattern paper of FIG. 2 inward along the fold lines shown by the dotted lines and folding the insertion flaps 5 into the inner surface of the lower panel 3, the cut lines 12 are engaged with the lower panel 3. The flaps are inserted and locked so that the both end side panels 4 are not opened, while the seam allowance 8 provided on the lower surface panel 3 is glued and fixed inside one side wall 6 of the upper surface panel.

In the paper pattern of FIG. 2, the cut line 20 is formed by connecting the four corners formed by cutting out the tray storage space 10b to the respective opposite corners of the quadrangle formed by the broken line shown by the dotted line. A hanging piece 9 is provided which is provided and has each folding curve as a base end. The height of the hanging piece 9 may be the same as the depth defined by the heights of the side panel 4 and the side wall 6, or may be shorter or longer than the depth. By making it longer than the depth, it is possible to form the hanging piece 9 that is inclined so that the bottom of the void 10b is narrower than the rectangular opening formed by the folding curve, so that the bottom is usually slightly tapered. It is possible to form a vacant space that can be stably stored in conformity with the shape of the storage tray that is often formed in a shape.

In FIG. 2, the cup storage space 10a is notched concentrically with the center of the cup storage space 10a with an appropriate radius smaller than the minimum circle formed by the folding curves 21. By providing such a notch, when each side wall 11 divided by each notch is folded inward with the arbitrary circular folding curve 21 portion as the base end according to the size of the cup to be stored, Each side wall 11 can be bent vertically or at an appropriate inclination toward the bottom to form a cavity 10a conforming to the side shape of the storage cup. Vacant space 10a
There is no particular limitation on the intervals between the radial cut lines and the intervals between the concentric bending lines for forming the curved lines, in other words, the size of each side wall 11, and it depends on the thickness of the paperboard or the corrugated board. It is set as appropriate in consideration of ease of bending.

The position and the size of the finger hole 13 provided on the lower panel 3 are usually such that the thumb can be inserted, and the thumb can be pointed at the side and bottom of the box-type hand tray with other fingers and palm.
