ABSTRACT:
A folding box (10) has a polygonal outer contour unit (12), which is closed in cross section and has outer wall elements (30.1, 30.2, 30.3, 30.4) connected via outer-contour folding lines (32), a lid unit (18), a base unit (20), and a reclosable removal opening (80). The box includes a bottom inner contour unit (14), regions of which are polygonal in cross section and which has bottom inner wall elements (40.1, 40.2, 40.3) connected via bottom inner-contour folding lines (42.1, 42.2). The bottom inner contour unit is present in a folded state in the interior of the outer contour unit (12) and is connected to the outer contour unit (12) via a connecting folding line (28). The box further has a polygonal top inner contour unit (16) which is closed in cross section, has a removal opening (80) and top inner wall elements (50.1, 50.2, 50.3, 50.4) connected via top inner-contour folding lines (52.1, 52.2, 52.3). The top inner contour unit also is present in a folded state in the interior of the outer contour unit (12). There is at least one connecting folding tab (60). The folding or stretching of the connecting folding tab (60) permits a relative displacement of the top inner contour unit (16) relative to the outer contour unit.
