ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a container which is folded from a flat blank of material being provided with a plurality of fold lines. The side walls are coupled to one another by bellows-type coupling members which are adapted to be inwardly folded during assembly to draw up the adjacent side walls to which they are attached. The top walls are dimensioned such that upon folding into substantially parallel relationship with the bottom wall it will form a closed container which is especially suitable to be used as a gift box. A portion of the bellows-type coupling member may be non-structurally adhered to a side wall of the container acting to greatly enhance subsequent folding and assembling of the container into its finished form. Predetermined fold lines may be pre-folded to allow more convenient assembly and still allow shipping in the flat form if desired. The top walls of the container may be constructed to allow a plurality of blanks to be interlocked with one another to allow very tight packing of a large number of blanks on a given sheet of material. The container may have graphics on one or both sides. The container may also be formed with punch-outs to provide an interactive container being usable as a container and subsequently forming a toy, game or having other distinct and appealing characteristics.
