Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a polyhedral packaging box used for packaging goods.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional packaging box is generally a hexahedron made of cardboard such as cardboard. That is, of the six plates constituting the hexahedron of the packaging box, four plates are provided with a margin at the edge of each plate, and this margin and each plate are glued and assembled. Further, it is assembled by being fixed with a packing fastener or the like. To open such a packaging box, the glue must be peeled off, or the joint between the plates, commonly called a zipper, must be cut open.

[0003] Further, on the outer surface of such a packaging box, a product name, a manufacturer's name, and the like are printed, and these provide us with information on the articles contained in the packaging box. (Hereinafter, in the present specification, such a function of the packaging box is referred to as “information function”).

[0004]

Although the packaging box has a tentative information function as described above, the information printed on the outer surface of the packaging box alone can sufficiently explain the product. It may not be possible. For example, a packaging box for a drug sold at a pharmacy or the like contains instructions describing the efficacy, usage and dosage of the drug, and precautions for taking the drug for use. This is to make up for the lack of information function of the packaging box by the information function of this instruction manual.

[0005] However, as described in the above example, the manual that exists separately from the packaging box is often easily lost. Also have. In order to solve such inconveniences, the present inventors have considered whether it is possible to integrate a packaging box and a manual which are present separately from each other. From that point of view, the inventors who observed the packaging box have noticed that it is only necessary to provide the inner surface of the packaging box with an information function.

However, conventional packaging boxes do not assume that the inside of the packaging box is used as an information medium.
The structure was not designed to be easily deployed. So, to unfold and look at its inner surface,
The packaging box had to be broken by peeling the glue and removing the fasteners. However, the packaging box once broken has lost its function as a packaging box. That is,
Unless assembled again with glue, fasteners, etc., the function as a packaging box cannot be exhibited again as before. This is the problem with the conventional packaging boxes.

The technical problems to be solved by the present invention are as follows:
First, the information function of the packaging box is to be increased. And, in order to secure the first purpose, even the once broken can be easily returned to the original packaging box,
That is, it is to provide a reproducible packaging box.
This is the second object of the present invention.
