  • said front and / or side walls are foldably connected to said bottom wall of the outer and / or outer box body, so that when said inner box body is in the folded position, said end walls are provided for to be folded against said bottom wall of the outer and / or inner box body inside the packaging box.
  • said front and / or side walls are foldably connected to said bottom wall of the outer and / or outer box body, so that when said inner box body is in the folded position, the said side walls are provided to be folded against said bottom wall of the outer and / or outer box body, outside the packaging box.
  • the front walls (front and back) of the inner box body are folded inwardly while the side walls (left and right) of the inner box body are folded to the outside .
  • the cover wall, the bottom wall and the intermediate wall have, in a side view, a Z-shaped arrangement.
  • said cover wall is disposed under the bottom wall.
  • the figure 1 is a view from above of a preferred embodiment of the box according to the invention in folded position forming a flat assembly in which the outer cover wall is against the intermediate wall.
  • the figure 2 is a top view of a preferred embodiment of the box according to the invention being mounted, wherein the cover wall has been partially deployed before mounting the inner box body.
  • the figure 3 is a top view of a preferred embodiment of the box according to the invention being mounted, wherein the inner box body is being mounted.
