Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fresh-cut flower packaging boxes, specifically a packaging box for fresh-cut flowers. Background Technology
[0002] Fresh-cut flowers, also known as cut flowers, refer to the stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits of plants cut from living plants for ornamental purposes, used to make flower baskets, bouquets, wreaths, garlands, vase arrangements, wall decorations, and corsages. Fresh-cut flowers are extremely delicate and perishable. Their distribution involves harvesting, sorting, grading, packaging, and transportation. With the high demand for fresh-cut flowers, they need to be transported to their destinations. To protect the integrity of the flowers during transport, special packaging boxes are used to effectively prevent damage.
[0003] Currently, the market uses a graded fresh flower processing technology. First, the pre-treated cut flowers are standardized and bundled together. Elastic straps are used to fix the flower stems at three points to ensure the stability of the bouquet structure. Then, water-retaining floral foam, which has been fully saturated with professional preservation nutrient solution, is cut into shape. The base of the flower stems is precisely inserted into the floral foam at a 45-degree angle to a depth of 3-5 centimeters to form a stable water supply system. After that, the whole thing is placed inside the packaging box. Due to the different number of cut flowers bundled and the difference in the thickness of each flower stem, the cut flowers are of different thicknesses after bundling. During transportation, bumps are inevitable, which will cause the thinner cut flowers to shake inside the packaging box. When the shaking is too great, the cut flowers will wilt, affecting the normal sale of the cut flowers and causing economic losses. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a packaging box for cut flowers to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that cut flowers inside packaging boxes on the market wither due to road bumps and shaking.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a packaging box for fresh-cut flowers, comprising a box body and a box lid, the box lid covering the box body, characterized in that it further comprises: limiting cardboard attached to both the left and right sides of the box body, vertical cardboard folded at the end of the box body, and supporting cardboard for supporting the fresh-cut flowers attached to the inside of the box body.
[0006] Preferably, at least one supporting cardboard is provided, and the limiting cardboard is inclined.
[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the inside of the box is covered with barbed hook and loop fasteners, and a loose hook and loop fastener is attached to the barbed hook and loop fasteners. Floral foam is attached to the other side of the loose hook and loop fasteners.
[0008] Preferably, the floral foam contains nutrient solution and is located below the supporting cardboard.
[0009] Preferably, a horizontal cardboard is installed on the side of the vertical cardboard close to the supporting cardboard, and a through hole is opened on the side of the horizontal cardboard close to the supporting cardboard, and a through hole is also opened on the side of the supporting cardboard close to the horizontal cardboard.
[0010] Preferably, the horizontal cardboard and the supporting cardboard are at the same height, and multiple air column bags are attached to the inner wall of the through hole, with the air column bags surrounding the outside of the cut flower stem.
[0011] Preferably, the vertical cardboard has grooves on both the left and right sides, and pre-cut dotted lines are provided between two adjacent air column bags.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] The floral foam absorbs nutrient solution to nourish the cut flowers, preventing them from wilting in a short time and making it suitable for long-distance transportation. A combination of horizontal and supporting cardboard separates the flowers from the box, preventing them from shaking and colliding during transport and thus protecting them. Multiple supporting cardboard sections allow for adjustment based on the height of the flowers, broadening the packaging's usability. Air columns surround the flower stems, securing them firmly within the openings. This prevents thinner stems from shaking during transport, minimizing damage. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0022] A packaging box for cut flowers includes a box body 1 and a box lid 11. The box lid 11 covers the box body 1. A barbed Velcro 4 is glued to the bottom inside the box body 1. A loose Velcro 13 is glued to the barbed Velcro 4. A floral foam 5 is glued to the other side of the loose Velcro 13. The floral foam 5 contains nutrient solution and is located below a supporting cardboard 9.
[0023] Before placing the cut flowers, first soak the floral foam 5 in the nutrient solution. After the floral foam 5 is fully saturated with nutrient solution, gently squeeze the floral foam 5 with your hand to allow a small amount of the absorbed nutrient solution to flow out until the floral foam 5 is no longer dripping. Then wrap the floral foam 5 with a waterproof PE film. Next, attach the hook and loop fasteners 13 and thorn hook and loop fasteners 4 to the floral foam 5. The adhesion of the hook and loop fasteners 13 and thorn hook and loop fasteners 4 will fix the floral foam 5 in place. Then insert the cut flowers into the floral foam 5. The nutrient solution absorbed by the floral foam 5 will support the normal growth of the cut flowers.
[0024] A horizontal cardboard 6 is installed on the side of the vertical cardboard 7 near the supporting cardboard 9. A through hole 10 is opened on the side of the horizontal cardboard 6 near the supporting cardboard 9. A through hole 10 is also opened on the side of the supporting cardboard 9 near the horizontal cardboard 6. Multiple air column bags 3 are attached to the inner wall of the through hole 10. The air column bags 3 surround the outside of the cut flower stem.
[0025] Combination Figures 1-3 As shown, the placement of air column bags 3 depends on the thickness of the flower stems. If the flower stem is in contact with the inside of the through hole 10, air column bags 3 are not needed. If the flower stem is not in contact with the inside of the through hole 10, air column bags 3 are needed. The air column bags 3 are placed around the flower stems. The number of air column bags 3 is adjusted according to the thickness of the flower stems. Since there are pre-cut dotted lines between two adjacent air column bags 3, the air column bags 3 can be torn off as needed. The air column bags 3 are used to wrap the flower stems to keep them upright and prevent the flowers from wilting during transportation.
[0026] Limiting cardboard 2 is glued to both the left and right sides of the box body 1. A vertical cardboard 7 is folded at the end of the box body 1. A supporting cardboard 9 for supporting fresh-cut flowers is glued inside the box body 1. At least one supporting cardboard 9 is provided. The limiting cardboard 2 is set at an angle. The horizontal cardboard 6 and the supporting cardboard 9 are at the same height. Grooves 8 are opened on both the left and right sides of the vertical cardboard 7.
[0027] Combination Figures 1-3 As shown, the number of horizontal cardboard 6 is adjusted according to the height of the flower stems of the cut flowers. When the cut flowers are tall, the top horizontal cardboard 6 is torn off by hand so that the flower buds are above the horizontal cardboard 6. Then, the remaining horizontal cardboard 6 and vertical cardboard 7 are inserted into the box body 1. The limiting cardboard 2 abuts against the top of the horizontal cardboard 6, and the limiting cardboard 2 keeps the horizontal cardboard 6 stable. Finally, the box lid 11 is placed on the box body 1. The condition of the cut flowers inside the box body 1 can be observed through the transparent paper 12.
