ABSTRACT:
A paperboard box for shipping of compact discs, cassettes and similar items that may be formed from a single piece of paperboard and rapidly assembled without the use of tools is described. The box comprises first and second panels, first including a rectangular bottom second section of a first predetermined height and a first predetermined width. First and second rectangular end sections are foldably joined to the upper and lower ends of the bottom panel. Upper and lower closing sections are foldably joined to the distal edges of the first and second end sections. A bendable tab element extends from the distal edge of the upper closing section and a tab element receiving slit is included in the lower closing section. The second panel includes a rectangular back section having a second predetermined height equal to the first predetermined width and a second predetermined width equal to the first predetermined height. First and second elongated rectangular side sections are foldably joined to the upper and lower ends of the back panel and first and second side closing sections are foldably joined to each of the first and second side sections. The back section includes a first perforation line, extending at a 45 degree angle, from a lower corner of the back section adjacent the bottom section to a first point in the back section. A cut line extends from the first point to a second point along the juncture of the back section and the bottom section. The first panel is foldably joined to the second panel at a second perforation line. To assemble the container the back section is folded along the first perforation line so that the back section is beneath the bottom section and then folded over the bottom section along the second perforation line. The end and side sections are then folded upwardly and the side closing sections are folded inwardly. Next the lower closing section is folded upwardly and the upper closing section is folded over the lower closing section, forming a closed container.
