Embodiment Construction

[0020]As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to boxes and more particularly to a straight edge collapsible box system as used to improve the use collapsible boxes.

[0021]Generally, the straight edge collapsible box system may include a V-groove configuration located on the side of a foldable flat panel that is the inner side of the box edges when the flat panel is folded, and the straight edge collapsible box is in the erected state. As the flat panel is folded, the sides of the V-shaped grooves mate thereby closing the groove, interlocking, and producing a stable, true straight edge along the exterior of the erected box wall joints. The stable, true straight edges make the straight edge collapsible box sturdier and more durable.

[0022]In one embodiment, when the straight edge collapsible box is in the collapsed state, the V-groove may be located on the top side of a foldable flat panel. The foldable flat panel may be folded to erect the straight edge collaps...

Abstract

A straight edge collapsible box system including a foldable flat panel and collapsible interior-box. The foldable flat panel has a plurality of sections hingedly coupled at a wall joint and forming the foldable flat panel. The foldable flat panel when erected forms an exterior shell for the interior-box. The top-section of the foldable flat panel forms an interior surface of the shell and the bottom-section of the foldable flat panel forms an exterior surface for the interior-box. The shell comprises a true straight edge along an exterior edge of each the wall joint and a V-groove configuration along an interior edge of each of the wall joints. The V-grooves interlock when the shell is erected, thereby forming a straight the exterior edge of the wall joints of the shell. The foldable flat panel and the interior-box are used in combination to provide a durable box.
