  • Patent number: 8590773
    Abstract: The invention relates to a set of blanks for making a packaging box (1), to such a box and to a method for making such a box. The set includes a first blank comprising at least four main flaps connected together by first folding lines for forming the walls of the base (3) of the box, and a second blank including three panels connected together by third folding lines and including flips connected to the panels by a fourth folding line for forming the lid (2) of said box. A tearable flap (30) is connected to a flap by a perforated junction line (31), two flaps and two non-adjacent trapezoidal panels for forming the side walls and the base of the lid, wherein the two blanks are arranged so as to enable a sufficient covering in order to glue the same onto each other at the opposite inner and outer edges of the flaps and trapezoidal panels when the perforated folding line and the fourth folding lines are aligned or substantially aligned.

  • Patent number: 5878946
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a carton, a blank and a process for manufacturing a carton of sheet material. The carton includes a cover formed by inner and outer flaps, and two sinkable corner regions situated respectively on either side of the carton or of the cover, straddling the fold lines corresponding to two walls and two opposing flaps. It includes an elongate handle comprising a lower band made of a sheet material formed at least in part by a detachable part belonging to at least one outer flap and a reinforcing upper band secured to the lower band having ends fixed on each side to opposing lateral walls, underneath the sinkable corner regions with respect to the upper face of the cover. The handle encompasses or extends opposite the sinkable corner regions so that, when the handle is pulled substantially perpendicularly to the upper face of the cover, handle portions situated opposite the sinkable corner regions sink into the regions.
