Abstract: Packaging is formed from a unitary, cross-shaped blank folded to form a packaging to hold a product. Some panels of the packaging include cutouts, and the material from the cutouts is adhered to other panels to form fastening elements to hold the box together in a closed configuration via a friction fit. This adds efficiency to the material usage of the packaging. The folded panels fold at miter cuts, such that the outward facing edges are sharp cornered and the opposing miter surfaces increase structural integrity of the finished packaging. Complementary edges of the packaging also are formed with miter cuts (or chamfer-type cuts), such that the complementary edges form a sharp corner, with opposing miter surfaces increasing structural integrity of the finished packaging at complementary edges just as at the fold lines.
