Abstract: A single-piece side-loading box includes a top, a bottom, a plurality of wall portions, and a side-opening panel in one unitary piece. The unitary piece is foldable from an unformed configuration to a box configuration with the side-opening panel openable in the box configuration to permit access to an interior of the box. The plurality of wall panels are connected between the top and the bottom in the box configuration. At least some of the wall panels in the box configuration overlap to form one or more multi-panel walls. The box includes a releasable fastening mechanism for fastening the side-opening panel in the closed position. The releasable fastening mechanism may be part of the unitary piece. The releasable fastening mechanism may include mechanical couplers, latching tabs, magnetic members, Velcro strips, or the like. The side-opening panel may be transparent or include a transparent portion attached to an opaque frame. The transparent panel may include a decorative pattern.

Abstract: A single-piece side-loading box having triple side-wall construction and a unique latching tab. The box incorporates walls, a floor, a top, a side-opening panel and latching tab in one unitary piece. The one piece box generally includes a bottom panel, front, side and back panels attached to the bottom panel and a lid attached to the back panel. A latching tab with integral handle is incorporated into the front panel. The box is preferably assembled from a cutout made from a single piece of material. The side-walls, side wings and side reinforcements fold into each other to provide a triple-side-wall construction that allows the box to support a great weight.
