Abstract: A pull type packing box comprises inner and outer containers. The outer container is a tube type box for receiving the inner container like a drawer. The outer container is provided with handles and performs the function of a shopping bag. As the outer container partially exposes a head portion of the inner container, a user can grasp the head portion to open the inner container, and information about an article can be printed on the exposed head portion. The strength of the mouth part of the outer container is increased so that the mouth part does not bend and the outer appearance of the packing box is not deteriorated. The outer container generates appropriate frictional force so that the drawer is not excessively opened and closed.

Abstract: A waste receptacle particularly useful for scooping-up and removing canine waste and a blank for making the receptacle. The blank and receptacle are made from a single thin sheet of material such as cardboard. The receptacle can be used with only one hand. It is stored and transported nearly flat and can be popped into operative configuration by applying pressure on the sides. Further application of pressure on the sides changes the size and shape of the receptacle opening and controls the position of a flap over the opening for more control of the scooping and closing process. A hook structure is formed on one end of the receptacle. The receptacle has a tapered shape which allows use and control of the receptacle by people with large or small hands.
