Definitions

  • Packaging boxes are commonly used for, among other uses, transporting goods and products.
  • a common example is when a seller dispatches an article to a customer following a remote purchase e.g. over the internet.
  • goods e.g. apparel and clothing items
  • remote purchases come with the disadvantage that neither the customer nor the seller can certify that the item will satisfy the customer.
  • the customer cannot know if a clothing item fits satisfactory until the intended wearer has physically tried or tested the item.
  • the customer may discover damages or defects to the item or that it does not match specifications.
  • the customer may also wish to undo the purchase for other reasons.
  • the customer may want to return, exchange or replace the item.
  • Sellers may, depending on jurisdiction, have to comply with consumer protection laws mandating rights of withdrawal and exchange. Sellers may also offer purchase on approval to display goodwill towards customers and promote future purchases.
  • a packaging box lid blank comprising a quadrangle shaped top panel.
  • the packaging box lid blank further comprises a first side wall panel being foldably connected to and extending in a longitudinal direction from a transversely extending first edge of the top panel.
  • the packaging box lid blank further comprises a second side wall panel being foldably connected to and extending in a direction opposite to the longitudinal direction from a transversely extending second edge of the top panel, the second edge being opposite to the first edge.
  • the packaging box lid blank further comprises a first locking tab being foldably connected to and extending in the transversal direction from a longitudinally extending first end edge of the first side wall panel.
  • a return delivery form and/or a return address on the inward facing major surface of the top panel when using the packaging box for delivering a remotely purchased item to a customer.
  • the customer may simply and effortlessly reorient the lid so that the return delivery form and/or the return address faces outwardly before sending back the packaging box.
  • Further advantageous effects may include using different material coatings on the two major surfaces of the top panel.
  • the term packaging box may refer to any kind of a box shaped container.
  • the packaging box need not but is preferably a box with an open top, where the packaging box lid is used to dose the packaging box.
  • the packaging box lid may also be used as an outer lid outside an internal lid.
  • the internal lid may e.g. be formed of flaps integrally formed with the other panels forming the packaging box.
  • packaging box lid refers to a lid for a packaging box.
  • the packaging box lid is especially useful in a packaging concept which may be referred to as a two-part packaging box.
  • the term two- part packaging box refers to a packaging box comprising two main parts that are not integrally formed but connected to each other in an assembled state.
  • a two-part packaging box typically is formed of one part forming a box and one part forming a lid. It may be noted that the two parts may be integrally formed or inter-connected when in a flat-laid blanks form.
  • the longitudinal direction and the transversal direction, as well as their respective opposite directions may be understood as being confined in a plane corresponding to the blank as seen in a flat-laid state.
  • the absolute direction may be understood as changing with the folding part.
  • the directions may be understood as being normal to opposite major surfaces of the folding parts.
  • the first direction may be understood as a direction at least initially corresponding to the normal of the first major surface of the top panel.
  • the second direction, opposite to the first direction may be understood as a direction at least initially corresponding to the normal of the second major surface of the top panel.
  • the first and second directions may be understood as initially perpendicular to both the longitudinal direction and the transversal direction.
  • the first and second directions may be understood as general relative directions, e.g, up and down, inward and outward, etc.
  • first, second, third, and fourth locking tabs may be shaped such that a corner portion of respective locking tab being remote from the top panel is rounded or chamfered.
  • Having the corner portion of the locking tabs being rounded or chamfered typically facilitates the assembly of a packaging box lid with a packaging box bottom to form a packaging box.
  • locking tabs with such rounded or chamfered corner portions are insertab!e into receiving portions of a packaging box bottom without requiring any deformation of the locking tabs, which typically would make assembly difficult and/or be detrimental for the locking effect intended to be provided by the tabs and thereby the structural integrity of the packaging box.
  • To require deformation of the locking tabs during assembly would be especially detrimental for the packaging box lid of the present invention considering that is configured to be reused or reassembled in a different state.
  • the packaging box lid blank may be made of a paper-based material.
  • the term paper-based material may be understood as material based on cellulose fibres. Blanks made of paper-based material may be manufactured quickly, cheaply, and efficiently in a sustainable manner.
  • a two-part packaging box blank comprising the packaging box lid blank according to the first aspect and a packaging box bottom blank being configured to be erected to form a packaging box bottom.
  • the packaging box lid blank is separate from, or separable from, the packaging box bottom blank such that the packaging box bottom blank is configured to be put in a state where the packaging box bottom blank is separated from the packaging box lid blank and in which state the packaging box bottom blank is configured to be erected to form the packaging box bottom.
  • An advantage with such a blank is that blanks for both the packaging box bottom, and the packaging box lid may be comprised within the same sheet of material. Storing and handling such packaging box blanks may be logistically favourable as the entire box may be located on a thin sheet of material which in turn may be stacked for volume efficient storage or transport.
  • Such a packaging box bottom blank provides in an erected state a packaging box bottom that is capable of receiving the packaging box lid in a simple and practical manner such that the packaging box is easily assembled in both the first and the second state.
  • the packaging box lid may be held in place, effectively enclosing the contents of the packaging box being assembled in the first state, such that the first major surface of the top panel is facing in an outward direction.
  • the first and third locking tabs of the packaging box lid blank may be configured to be inserted between either the third side wall panel and the third side wall panel extension or the fourth side wall panel and the fourth side wall panel extension.
  • the second and fourth locking tabs of the packaging box lid blank may be configured to be inserted between the pair of side wall panels into which the first and third locking tabs were not inserted.
  • the locking tabs may be configured for the insertion to be performed after the packaging box bottom blank has been erected into a packaging box bottom.
  • the erected packaging box bottom By the inclusion of locking tabs to the packaging box bottom blank, the erected packaging box bottom, and thus also the assembled packaging box, may be provided with improved structural integrity. Enclosure of the contents of the packaging box may also be improved.
  • Such locking tabs may be used to further improve packaging box bottom structural integrity and enclosure of contents in the packaging box.
  • an outer edge of the packaging box lid blank is separably connected to an outer edge of the packaging box bottom blank.
  • the packaging box comprises a packaging box bottom and a packaging box lid formed by a packaging box lid blank according to the first aspect.
  • the method comprises the step of erecting a packaging box bottom blank into the packaging box bottom having a bottom panel and four side walls.
  • the four side walls include at least two oppositely arranged double panel side walls formed of inner box side wall panels and outer box side wall panels.
  • a packaging box lid foldably erected from a packaging box lid blank according to the first aspect by folding the locking tabs of the packaging box lid blank in a first direction relative to the top panel and by folding the side wall panels of the packaging box lid blank in the first direction.
  • packaging box lid blank and packaging box lid may refer to the same material structure with the same features, albeit when acting in different roles such as e.g. a flat sheet of material respectively an erected, assembled lid of a packaging box.
  • the same consideration applies to the terms packaging box blank and packaging box as well as the terms packaging box bottom blank and packaging box bottom.
  • an assembled two-part packaging box comprising an erected packaging box lid according to the first aspect.
  • the two-part packaging box further comprises a packaging box bottom.
  • the packaging box bottom comprises a bottom panel.
  • the packaging box bottom further comprises four side walls.
  • the four side walls include at least two oppositely arranged double panel side walls formed of inner box side wall panels and outer box side wall panels.
  • the double panel side walls are arranged to receive and hold the first, second, third, and fourth locking tabs of the packaging box lid, as they are folded.
  • open-end face may be understood as referring to a missing face of a hexahedron or a cuboid shaped box.
