ABSTRACT:

The present invention relates to a carton box retainer adapted to retain, in a detectable manner, a plurality of individual carton boxes.
The invention also relates to a pack assembly comprising a plurality of carton boxes retained together by said retainer.
The invention also relates to a process for producing said pack assembly.
Products for retail sale are commonly supplied in carton boxes to retailers. The carton boxes tend to be supplied loose to the retailer in large transit boxes containing many carton boxes. The carton boxes may be loosely retained in the transit box or may be stored loosely in set numbers within display boxes. The retailer will normally display the carton boxes either in the display boxes or will stack individual carton boxes on a shelf or counter. In the former case, the provision of a display box is relatively expensive; in the latter case stacking the carton boxes is time consuming and requires constant attention in order to keep the stack in order.
It is a general aim of the present invention to provide a carton box retainer which enables a plurality of carton boxes to be retained together in a detachable manner without incurring the cost of providing a display box. According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a carton box retainer for a plurality of carton boxes each having opposed ends, the retainer including a retention member having a plurality of pairs of connection means spaced along the retention member, each pair of connection means being adapted for connection to said opposed ends of a carton box for attaching the carton box to the retention member, the connection means being detachably secured to the carton box and/or the remainder of the retention member in order to enable the carton box to be separated from the retainer.
