ABSTRACT:
A blank for making a box contains a tab for simplifying the opening of the box once it is taped shut in the usual manner. The tab contains adhesive backing on its upper portion and a tab handle on its lower portion. When the box is taped shut, the tape covers the upper portion of the tab. To open the box, the tab is pulled up, releasing the upper portion of the tab and the accompanying tape. By further pulling, the entire tape may be removed from the box. The tab may be opened and closed a number of times.
