Description

Packaging Box Structure {PACKING BOX STRUCTURE}

The present disclosure relates to a packaging box structure, and more particularly, to a packaging box structure capable of displaying a container in an inclined state.

Today, product packaging goes beyond simply protecting and transporting products; it plays a vital role in capturing consumer attention and strengthening brand image.

Especially when selling products in retail stores or on e-commerce platforms, unique and aesthetically pleasing packaging can significantly influence consumers' purchasing decisions.

However, existing packaging boxes are designed with a focus on product protection and ease of transport in a simple box shape, and these packaging boxes often lack design elements or fail to provide a differentiated visual effect.

Accordingly, there is a growing demand for product packaging that can provide a completely differentiated experience that cannot be felt from existing simple packaging boxes, such as giving the effect of displaying products as if they were on display at an exhibition stand.

The present disclosure aims to provide a packaging box that can efficiently package multiple products while providing an aesthetic visual effect and also has improved durability.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a packaging box comprises: a plurality of containers, each of the plurality of containers including a container body having a rectangular parallelepiped or cuboid shape for accommodating contents and having an opening formed at one side thereof; a lid for opening and closing the opening of the container body; and a label configured to fix the container body and the lid so as not to be separated when the lid closes the opening of the container body; a lower box for accommodating a portion of each of the plurality of containers, the lower box supporting each of the plurality of containers so that the bottom surface of the container body facing the opening of the container body is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to an inner bottom surface of the lower box; and an upper box detachably coupled to the lower box and accommodating the plurality of containers supported by the lower box on the inside.

The above lower box includes a plurality of insertion holes having a rectangular shape, corresponding to the plurality of containers.

Each of the plurality of containers is in line contact with the inner bottom surface of the lower box by having a corner touching the inner bottom surface of the lower box.

Each of the plurality of insertion holes has a first side and a second side perpendicular to the first side, a length of the second side is less than a length of the first side, a length of the second side is less than a length of a shortest edge among the edges of the container body, and a length of the first side is greater than or equal to a length of at least one of the edges of the container body.

The upper box has a shape that matches the plurality of containers supported by the lower box, and includes a folding sheet configured to support the plurality of containers when the upper box is combined with the lower box.

According to the present disclosure, a packaging box can display a product in an aesthetically pleasing manner and provide it to a consumer.

According to the present disclosure, the packaging box can package various types of products into a single set of products.

According to the present disclosure, the packaging box can firmly protect the product and have high durability.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, a packaging box (1) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one container (100), a lower box (10), and an upper box (20). For the purpose of explanation, the drawings illustrate a case where five containers (100) are provided, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the packaging box (1) may include one or a different number of containers (100). Meanwhile, the packaging box (1) may further include a band (30) that can surround the lower box (10) and the upper box (20) when they are combined to prevent them from being unintentionally separated.

A container (100) may include a container body (110) having an opening (111) formed to accommodate contents (or target items) and having one side (e.g., an upper side) open, a lid (120) for opening and closing the opening (111) of the container body (110), and a label (130) for fixing the container body (110) and the lid (120) so that they are not separated when the lid (120) is coupled to the container body (110). Meanwhile, the contents contained in each of the plurality of containers (100) may all be different, or the contents of at least some of the containers may be the same.

The container body (110) may be formed of a substantially transparent material. For example, the container body (110) may be formed of a material including at least one of acrylic, polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, polyester, and epoxy. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the container body (110) may be formed of various other types of materials.

The container body (110) may have a substantially rectangular or cuboid shape. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the container body (110) may have other three-dimensional shapes.

The container body (110) has a first dimension (m), a second dimension (n), and a third dimension (l). The first dimension (m) is perpendicular to the second and third dimensions (n, l), the second dimension (n) is perpendicular to the first and third dimensions (m, l), and the third dimension (l) is perpendicular to the first and second dimensions (m, n). The first dimension (m) may be a size of an edge corresponding to length, the second dimension (n) may be a size of an edge corresponding to width, and the third dimension (l) may be a size of an edge corresponding to height. The size of the first dimension (m) and the size of the second dimension (n) may be substantially the same. That is, the bottom (112) of the container body (110) may be a square. However, this is not limited thereto, and the size of the first dimension (m) and the size of the second dimension (n) may be different.

The container body (110) may include a window through which the contents inside are visible. The window may correspond to at least one side of the container body (110).

The label (130) may correspond to a sticker. A portion of the label (130) may be attached to one side of the container body (110), and the remaining portion of the label (130) may be attached to the lid (120). The label (130) may include a product trademark, etc. Meanwhile, a product description label formed as a sticker may be attached to the bottom surface (112) (or bottom surface) of the container body (110) facing the opening (111). The product description label may include information regarding the contents.

The lower box (10) can support the container (100) (or, container body (110)). At least a portion of the container (100) can be accommodated in the lower box (10). The lower box (10) can maintain the container (100) in a state of being tilted at a predetermined angle (θ).

The lower box (10) may include an outer lower box (11) in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped with a predetermined thickness and an open upper surface, an inner lower box (12) arranged inside the outer lower box (11) and forming an inner space of the lower box (10), and at least one insertion hole (13) formed on the upper surface of the inner lower box (12) and into which a container (100) is inserted. The number of insertion holes (13) may correspond to the number of containers (100).

The outer lower box (11) can form the exterior of the packaging box (1). The outer lower box (11) can have sufficient rigidity to protect the internal components from external impact.

The inner lower box (12) can be placed inside the outer lower box (11). For example, the inner lower box (12) can be fitted into the inner space of the outer lower box (11). The lower surface of the inner lower box (12) can be attached to the outer lower box (11). Meanwhile, the height of the inner lower box (12) is greater than that of the outer lower box (11) and can be exposed upward of the outer lower box (11). Accordingly, a step portion (11a) can be formed at a portion where the outer surface of the outer lower box (11) and the outer surface of the inner lower box (12) are connected, which is approximately the thickness of the outer lower box (11), and when the lower end of the upper box (20) is settled on the step portion (11a), the portion of the inner lower box (12) exposed upward of the outer lower box (11) can be inserted into the upper box (20).

A plurality of insertion holes (13) may be formed on the upper surface of the inner lower box (12). The insertion holes (13) may be formed by folding a cut piece (14) formed by cutting the upper surface of the inner lower box (12) along a cut line toward the inside of the lower box (10) (or, inner lower box (12)).

The container (100) can be inserted and placed in the insertion port (13) in an inclined state. Specifically, the container (100) can be inserted into the insertion port (13) so that the bottom surface (112) of the container body (110) is inclined at a predetermined angle (θ) with respect to the bottom surface (12a) of the lower box (10) (or, inner lower box (12)). At this time, the bottom surface (12a) of the lower box (10) may correspond to the bottom surface (12a) of the internal space of the inner lower box (12). The predetermined angle (θ) may be 30 to 50 degrees, and preferably, approximately 45 degrees. The container (100) (or, container body (110)) can make linear contact with the bottom surface (12a) of the lower box (10) by having its edge touch the bottom surface (12a) of the lower box. However, it is not limited thereto, and the container (100) (or container body (110)) may be spaced upward from the bottom surface (12a) of the lower box (10).

Some of the cut pieces (14) (e.g., the first cut piece (14a) and/or the third cut piece (14c)) may extend at an angle relative to the bottom surface (12a) of the lower box (10) to support or maintain the container (100) inserted into the insertion port (13) in an angled state. Some of the cut pieces (14) (e.g., the first cut piece (14a) and/or the third cut piece (14c)) may contact the bottom surface (112) of the container body (110) and/or one surface of the container body (110) to which the label (130) is attached. Some of the cut pieces (14) (e.g., the second cut piece (14b) and/or the fourth cut piece (14d)) may extend vertically with respect to the bottom surface (12a) of the lower box (10) to support or maintain the container (100) inserted into the insertion port (13) in an inclined state. Some of the cut pieces (14) (e.g., the second cut piece (14b) and/or the fourth cut piece (14d)) may come into contact with the side surface of the container body (110).

The upper box (20) may include an upper box body (21) forming an exterior and a folding sheet (22) placed inside the upper box body (21).

The upper box body (20) may have a rectangular parallelepiped shape with a predetermined thickness and an open bottom. The lower box (10) and the container (100) placed in the lower box (10) may enter the interior of the upper box body (21) from the lower side of the upper box body (21) through the opening in the bottom side. The lower end of the upper box body (21) may be seated on the step portion (11a) and may be fitted with a part of the lower box (10) (e.g., the inner lower box (12)).

The folding sheet (22) may have a shape that matches the container (100) supported by the lower box (10) and may be configured to support the container (100) when the upper box (20) is combined with the lower box (10). The folding sheet (22) may be attached or fixed to the upper surface of the upper box body (21) (i.e., the upper surface of the internal space of the upper box body (21)). The folding sheet (22) may be formed by folding a plate-shaped sheet in a zigzag shape so as to have a plurality of folding portions (22a). The container (100) may be matched to the folding portions (22a). The folding sheet (22) may be elastically deformable. The folding sheet (22) may support the container (100), thereby preventing the container (100) from being pulled out of the insertion portion (13) and preventing the container (100) from shaking.

Referring to Fig. 7, the method of forming an insertion hole (13) by a cut piece (14) is described.

The insertion port (13) may have a substantially rectangular shape. The insertion port (13) may have a first side (13a) and a second side (13b) orthogonal to the first side (13a). The first side (13a) may correspond to a pair of sides that are parallel to each other in the rectangle, and the second side (13b) may correspond to a pair of sides corresponding to the remaining side.

The length (s) of the first side (13a) and the length (t) of the second side (13b) may be different from each other. The length (s) of the first side may be greater than the length (t) of the second side. The length (t) of the second side may be less than the first to third dimensions (m, n, l) of the container body (110). The length (s) of the first side may be greater than or equal to at least one of the corners of the container body (110) (e.g., the second dimension (n)). Accordingly, the container (100) is inserted into the insertion port (13) only in an orientation in which the edge (e.g., the second dimension (n)) facing the bottom surface (12a) of the lower box or touching the bottom surface (12a) of the lower box is arranged parallel to the first side (13a), as shown in FIG. 2, and is not inserted in an orientation in which the edge facing the bottom surface (12a) of the lower box or touching the bottom surface (12a) of the lower box is arranged parallel to the second side (13b) (i.e., the container as shown in FIG. 2 rotated 90 degrees around the vertical axis). Due to the difference in length (s, t) of the sides (13a, 13b) of the insertion port (13), the container (100) can be inserted into the insertion port (13) only in a specific orientation, thereby preventing misassembly of the container (100) and the lower box (10) and achieving a unified arrangement of the containers (100) on the lower box (10). For example, all of the multiple containers (100) placed on the lower box (10) can be arranged so that their labels (130) face in one direction.

The cut piece (14) forming one insertion hole (13) may include a first cut piece (14a), a second cut piece (14b), a third cut piece (14c), and a fourth cut piece (14d). The first cut piece (14a) and the third cut piece (14c) may be point-symmetrical with respect to the center (C) of the insertion hole (13). The second cut piece (14b) and the fourth cut piece (14d) may be point-symmetrical with respect to the center (C) of the insertion hole (13).

Meanwhile, the first and third cut pieces (14a, 14c) can be connected to the first side (13a) of the insertion port (13), and the second and fourth cut pieces (14b, 14d) can be connected to the second side (13b) of the insertion port (13). The first to fourth cut pieces (14a-d) can be folded toward the inside of the lower box (10) using the sides (13a, 13b) of the insertion port (13) to which the cut pieces are connected as the folding lines.

In the first cut piece (14a), the distance (14ab) from the first side (13a) of the insertion port (13) to which the first cut piece (14a) is connected to the distal edge (14aa) of the first cut piece (14a) may be the same as the distance from the first side (13a) of the insertion port (13) to which the first cut piece (14a) is connected to the center of gravity (C) of the insertion port (13). In the third cut piece (14c), the distance (14cb) from the first side (13a) of the insertion port (13) to which the third cut piece (14c) is connected to the distal edge (14ca) of the third cut piece (14c) may be the same as the distance from the first side (13a) of the insertion port (13) to which the third cut piece (14c) is connected to the center of gravity (C) of the insertion port (13).

In the second cut piece (14b), the distance (14bb) from the second side (13b) of the insertion port (13) to which the second cut piece (14b) is connected to the distal edge (14ba) of the second cut piece (14b) may be smaller than the distance from the second side (13b) of the insertion port (13) to which the second cut piece (14b) is connected to the center of gravity (C) of the insertion port (13). In the fourth cut piece (14d), the distance (14db) from the second side (13b) of the insertion port (13) to which the fourth cut piece (14d) is connected to the distal edge (14da) of the fourth cut piece (14d) may be smaller than the distance from the second side (13b) of the insertion port (13) to which the fourth cut piece (14d) is connected to the center of gravity (C) of the insertion port (13). Additionally, the distal edges (14ba, 14da) of the second and fourth cut pieces (14b, 14d) may be parallel to the second side (13b) of the insertion port (13). The distance (14bb, 14db) from the second side (13b) to the distal edges (14ba, 14da) of the second and fourth cut pieces (14b, 14d) may be substantially equal to the height of the internal space of the inner lower box (12) (or, the distance between the upper and lower surfaces of the inner lower box (12)).

By the shape of the cut piece (14), compared to the case where the cut piece is simply made in two diagonal lines centered on the center (C) of the insertion port (13), the distal distance (14bb, 14db) from the sides (13a, 13b) of the second and fourth cut pieces (14b, 14d) can be reduced to fit the compactly designed lower box (10) (or inner lower box (12)), and the second and fourth cut pieces (14b, 14d) can be folded so as to be perpendicular to the inner space of the inner lower box (12). In addition, the second and fourth cut pieces (14b, 14d) that are bent perpendicular to a horizontal plane (e.g., the upper surface and/or the bottom surface of the inner lower box (12)) with the second side (13b) as a folding line can have their distal edges (14ba, 14da) come into linear contact with the bottom surface (12a) of the inner lower box (12), and as a result, the second and fourth cut pieces (14b, 14d) can support the downward deflection of the insertion port (13) or the upper surface of the inner lower box (12) in which the insertion port (13) is formed due to the weight of the container (100) inserted into the insertion port (13).

The above has illustrated and described specific embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and implementations can be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the technical concepts set forth in the claims below.
