Benefits of technology

The tear strip is designed to easily detach the first part from the second part when removed. The detachment allows the flap to be opened and closed without having to remove the entire tape. This design feature makes it easier to handle and use the flap.

Problems solved by technology

However, besides being an additional cost, adhesive tape may not be readily available for assembly and closure of the cardboard boxes, and may be restricted from being used to seal cardboard boxes during transit.
Thus, given the typical configuration of such cardboard boxes, the content of the cardboard boxes cannot be retrieved without causing physical damage to the cardboard boxes that prevents reuse thereof.

Abstract

A reusable container for shipping an object. The container has at least an interior and an opening. A flap portion, attached to an upper edge of a container wall, includes a body portion, and an extension portion attached to the body portion. The extension portion includes two adhesive portions. A tear strip, defined by perforations in the extension portion, is defined between the two adhesive portions. When the flap portion moves to a closed position, the body portion covers the opening, and the edge portion moves down into contact with one of the walls, being fixed to the wall by one of the adhesive portions. The tear strip can be torn away, tearing away the one of the adhesive portions fixing the extension portion to the wall, without damaging the other adhesive portion. The container can be re-used, by using the undamaged adhesive portion to fix the extending portion to the wall.
