Benefits of technology

[0003]The present disclosure describes a folding box for transportation and storage of pastries, specifically cupcakes. The box is formed from a single sheet of material with glue flaps and an integral pastry portion. A window is stamped through the material and a cellophane or similar transparent window is affixed. The box can be stored in a flat condition, allowing many boxes to be stored in a relatively small area. When the user needs to expands the box by folding up the perimeter walls and then folds the pastry portion towards the interior of the box. The pastry portion, being integral to the box folds in and becomes self-supporting. The size of the pastry portion creates an interference fit, securing the pastry portion to the bottom of the box without the need for any separate gluing, extra parts, or additional process steps.

Problems solved by technology

Further, several parts require assembly, creating issues with tolerances and proper assembly.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]The blank 10 of FIG. 1 consists of a single die cut piece of cardstock. The die cut piece of cardstock has an inside surface and an outside surface. The outside surface is typically decorative with a different color or pattern but can also be plain. The inside surface can be different, but the blank 10 as shown in all FIGS is symmetrical, the inside surface and outside surface are interchangeable before assembly. For the purposes of clarity, the inside surface of the blank 10 makes up a majority of the surfaces on the inside of the box 8, FIG. 8 when it is completely assembled. The blank 10 has a bottom portion 16, a tray portion 30, and a lid portion 12 as shown in FIG. 1. All portions described herein are all part of the same die-cut piece. The bottom portion 16 is hinged to the lid portion 12 by a transverse crease 14. The top portion 12 has a window 18 that extends across transverse crease 14. The window is flexible enough that it will bend with the third transverse crease...

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 005,530, filed May 30, 2014, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]This present disclosure relates to foldable boxes, specifically boxes that are intended to be shipped flat then folded into a container that can be self-supporting and used for securely carrying individual pastries. Folding boxes are well known in the art that are shipped flat and then unfolded before being used, commonly at a store or bakery. The box must be easy to open but be strong enough to carry baked goods and possibly tolerate being stacked. Proper storage and display of the baked goods assist the user in selecting the right goods from a display case or shelf. The box must tolerate handling and retain the baked goods. Many boxes attempt to solve this problem. Current foldable boxes are formed with several parts that need to be assemble...
