Abstract: Methods of erecting boxes include providing box templates having a plurality of panels. Some of the panels have an adhesive disposed thereon. The box template is folded to form a partially folded box template. Some of the panels are attached together with the adhesive on some of the panels to hold the box template in the partially folded state even without user assistance. The box template is further folded to form a completely erected. Some of the panels are attached together with the adhesive on some of the panels to hold the box template in the completely erected state even without user assistance. Additionally, securing elements may be used to more securely maintain the box template in the completely erected state.

Abstract: A board blank for producing a packaging corner has at least three parallel strips which are arranged next to one another and are connected to one another. A central strip of the three strips is connected to a first outer strip of the three strips by grooved portions along a first line. Cuts are made between the central strip and the first outer strip between the grooved portions. A profile of the cuts deviates from the first line in a manner extending into the central strip. The central strip and a second outer strip of the three strips are connected by a score in the board along a second line.
