Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention is broadly concerned with a simplified combination shipping and display carton which can be used as a conventional carton for shipping and storage purposes, but which can be readily altered so as to create a display carton, all without the necessity of removal of any merchandise from the carton. More particularly, the invention is concerned with such shipping and display cartons, as well as carton blanks and preforms used in the fabrication of the final cartons, wherein the cartons include a plurality of side-by-side but separable carton sections each of which can be used as an individual display.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- A bewildering variety of shipping boxes and cartons have been produced in the past. Most commonly, these items are fabricated from paper or cardboard, and have been designed to meet both general and specialized needs of shippers. Box suppliers usually provide box blanks to their customers, which can be appropriately folded and glued on-site to form a complete shipping box or carton.
- Traditionally, retail outlets receiving boxed merchandise open the boxes and remove and shelve the merchandise therein. This is time and labor-intensive, however, and moreover creates a waste problem because of the large number of discarded boxes. One expedient adopted by some retailers is to use a box cutter to cut upper portions of a shipping container, and to use the remainder as a merchandise holder or display. For example, a typical rectangular box may be cut all the way around leaving only the bottom wall and a short upstanding continuous sidewall. However, this practice is objectionable because the remainder of the box used for display purposes is normally unsightly. Also, the merchandise within the box may be damaged when the box is cut.
- Combination cartons which can serve as both a shipping carton and as a display have been proposed in the past. However, these have generally been nothing more than a conventional box or carton with perforation lines to facilitate alteration of the carton for display purposes. As such, these combination cartons lack the flexibility of use which many retailers may desire.
- The present invention overcomes the problems outlined above and provides an improved combination shipping and display carton usually but not necessarily formed of Kraft paper. The overall carton comprises first and second side-by-side cartons each presenting a bottom wall, an outer sidewall, a center vertical divider wall, a top wall, and front and back closure flaps secured to said first and second bottom walls and to said first and second outer sidewalls. Additionally, portions of the top walls, outer sidewalls, center vertical divider walls and the front and back closure flaps are interconnected to the corresponding walls and flaps by perforation lines. This renders these portions removable along the perforation lines, whereby each of the cartons can serve as a display. Additionally, the center vertical divider walls are adhesively secured together but manually separable from each other; to this end, a perforation line is provided between said bottom walls permitting full separation of said first and second cartons.
- Preferably, the carton separation perforation line is located between the bottom walls of the respective juxtaposed cartons, and extends through and interconnects the front and back closure flaps secured to the first and second bottom walls.
- In order to facilitate modification of the carton for display purposes, the first and second center vertical divider walls and the first and second outer sidewalls each have an oblique perforation line extending from one margin thereof toward the other margin thereof and terminate at a point spaced from the other margin. Also, the first and second top walls each have a perforation line extending between and interconnecting the adjacent ends of the oblique perforation lines.
- The carton of the invention is preferably fabricated from a blank comprising a sheet of material presenting a series of interconnected sections each having opposed margins. Preferably, the sections include a first glue segment, a first central vertical divider wall, a first top wall, a first outer sidewall, a first bottom wall, a second bottom wall, a second outer sidewall, a second top wall, a second central vertical divider wall, and a second glue segment. The first top wall, first outer sidewall, first bottom wall, second bottom wall, second outer sidewall, and second top wall have opposed closure flaps connected thereto along fold lines which define the opposed margins of the corresponding sections. The first and second center vertical divider walls, the first and second outer sidewalls, and the first and second top walls each have the perforation lines described above. Moreover, the blank has a central perforation line between the first and second bottom walls.
- The carton blanks may be shipped as is to an end user. However, in preferred practice, the blank is used to fabricate a carton preform which can be more readily employed by the end user to create the final desired carton. Such a preform comprises a sheet of material presenting a bottom portion and first and second opposed top portions connected to the bottom portion. The bottom portion presents a series of interconnected sections each having opposed margins; the bottom portion sections include a first outer sidewall, a first bottom wall, a second bottom wall and a second outer sidewall. The first and second top portions each have a corresponding series of interconnected sections each having opposed margins. The first top portion is connected to the first outer sidewall at a point remote from the first bottom wall and includes a first top wall, a first center vertical divider wall, and a first glue segment. Similarly, the second top portion is connected to the second outer sidewall at a point remote from the second bottom wall and has a second top wall, a second center vertical divider wall, and a second glue segment. The first and second portions are folded over the bottom portion, with the first and second glue segments folded against the corresponding first and second center vertical divider walls and glued to the adjacent first and second bottom walls. In the use of such a preform, it is only necessary to fold and glue the center vertical divider walls together, followed by gluing together of the carton flaps.

The blank 10 presents a series of sections including, in order from left to right, afirst glue segment 12, a first centralvertical divider wall 14, a firsttop wall 16, a firstouter sidewall 18, afirst bottom wall 20, asecond bottom wall 22, a secondouter sidewall 24, a secondtop wall 26, a second centralvertical divider wall 28, andsecond glue segment 30. Each of the sections 12-30 has an upper and a lower margin referred to by reference letters “a” and “b” respectively; as shown, the upper and lower margins for the sections 16-26 are in the form of fold lines. In addition, it will be seen that the sections are interconnected by essentially mutually parallel fold lines 32-38,central perforation line 40, and fold lines 42-48. - The
top wall 16, firstouter sidewall 18,first bottom wall 20,second bottom wall 22, secondouter sidewall 24 and secondtop wall 26 each have opposed and closure flaps, namely, in order from left to right inFIG. 1 ,flaps parallel fold lines second glue segments auxiliary glue flaps 73 which are connected to the associated segments viafold lines 73 a. - The blank 10 also has a number of perforation lines, including the previously mentioned
line 40 which extends the full height of the blank and defines a separation line between thebottom walls flaps flaps vertical divider walls oblique perforation line upper margin lower margin top walls perforation line corresponding margin corresponding line outer sidewalls oblique perforation line associated lines upper margin closure flaps flap sections - The blank 10 may be manufactured and sold as is, but more preferably is used to fabricate a
carton preform 86 depicted inFIGS. 2 and 3 . The preform has abottom portion 88 as well as first and second opposedtop portions bottom portion 88. The bottom portion is made up of firstouter sidewall 18,first bottom wall 20,second bottom wall 22 and secondouter sidewall 24, together associated with the closure flaps. The firsttop portion 90 is folded over alongfold line 36 and has firsttop wall 16, first centralvertical divider wall 14 andfirst glue segment 12. In like manner, the secondtop portion 92 is folded overbottom portion 88 alongfold line 44 and has secondtop wall 26, secondvertical divider wall 28 andsecond glue segment 30. In order to complete thepreform 86, theglue segments vertical divider walls glue segments vertical divider walls bottom walls flaps perforation fold line 40 is between the glued segments and flaps. This relationship is best seen inFIG. 3 . - The
carton preform 86 can readily be used to form a complete combination shipping anddisplay carton 94 shown inFIGS. 5 and 6 . In the first step shown inFIG. 3 , theportions vertical divider walls FIG. 4 . That is, the preform in this condition presents a pair of side-by-side sections - In order to complete the
carton 94 it is only necessary to fold the closure flaps inwardly upon each other with appropriate application of glue. In practice, theflaps flaps FIG. 5 ). At this point thecarton 94 presents a pair ofopen sections flaps flaps carton 94. - The merchandise can then be shipped within the
carton 94 in the usual manner. If it is desired to use thecarton 94 for display purposes, it is only necessary to remove the portions of the first and secondtop walls outer sidewalls vertical divider walls flap sections FIG. 7 . Such portion removal is accomplished by manually grasping the portions of the carton defined byperforation lines - It is also possible to separate the two
sections 6, 98 of thecarton 94 so that each may be used as a separate display container, such as depicted inFIG. 8 . This involves merely manually tearing along theperforation line 40 throughout the extent of thebottom walls flaps - While the
carton 94 of the invention may be fabricated from Kraft or similar paper, the invention is not so limited. In some instances, the carton may be produced using white or other colored stock, with advertising or other printing thereon. For example, the outer faces of theflaps
