  • Patent number: 6478217
    Abstract: A box cover or container is provided which includes a first cellulosic board having dorsal and ventral surfaces, the board including a main panel and four flanking panels, one on each side of the main panel standing in orthogonal relationship to one another thereby forming a tray suitable as a cover or container portion of the box. A second board is placed, preferably in adhesive arrangement, against the ventral surface of the first cellulosic board, the second board having a thickness greater than that of the first cellulosic board. A colored pattern is ordinarily printed on the dorsal surface for decorative purposes. A process and blank to assemble the box cover or container is described. In the process, the number of steps are less than half those required for manufacture of a traditional gift or set box.
