  • Patent number: 12337568
    Abstract: A method for customizing a blank of sheet material delimited by first and second opposite sides and third and fourth opposite sides orthogonal to the first and second sides involves doing, on a face of the blank, a first couple of first and second wave-shaped crease lines and a second couple of third and fourth wave-shaped crease lines, each wave-shaped crease line being crossed by straight crease tracts, so that the third side, the first, second, third and fourth wave-shaped crease lines and fourth side delimit in succession a first top panel, a first side panel, a bottom panel, a second side panel and a second top panel, doing first and second continuous straight crease lines parallel to each other and to the straight crease tracts and delimiting respective back and front wings of each of the first top panel, first side panel, bottom panel, second side panel and second top panel. Glue is transversally applied to the straight crease lines.
