Definitions

  • a separate compartment for an instruction leaflet with usage information for example a leaflet or a brochure, is arranged in such a way that the objects and the instruction leaflet are clearly arranged when the folding box is open and can be removed separately without hindrance.
  • the package insert immediately falls into the consumer's field of vision, is easy to remove and, after inspection, can be placed in the folding box with the other items just as easily and cannot be lost.
  • the cuboidal folding box which consists of a rigid packaging material, preferably cardboard, has a sleeve-shaped body 10 with two parallel broad side walls 11, 12 and two parallel narrow side walls 13, 14, one narrow side wall 14 with a hinged longitudinal adhesive flap 15 with the inside of one broad side wall 11 is glued.
  • the bottom end face of the fuselage 10 is firmly closed by closure flaps 16, 17, 18, 19 hinged to the side walls 11 to 14, folded over in the end face and glued together.
  • the head end face which forms a removal opening, is closed by two locking tabs 23, 24 on the narrow side walls 13, 14 and only a single wide locking tab 21 which is articulated on the wide side wall 11 and to which a plug-in tab 22 is connected via a fold line .
  • a tool such as a file 42 or a pipette, connected to the ampoules or vials is inserted in the head space of the folding box, which is separated from the opening-side link wall 31.
  • the blank for the folding box with the one-piece insert 30 can be punched out of a cardboard web without great waste if two blanks are punched out in the web direction with the insert part facing each other.
