[0002] With increasing environmental awareness, paper lunch boxes are becoming more and more widely used in the food delivery and fast food industries due to their advantages such as being biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Flip-top paper lunch boxes are favored by the market because of their ease of use and ability to be opened and closed quickly.
[0003] In the prior art, Chinese patent CN215125100U discloses a paper lunch box with internal partitions, including a lunch box base and a lunch box lid. The lunch box base includes a main shell, a slot, a paper soup box, a receiving slot, a paper slider, and a sliding cardboard. The lunch box lid includes a top plate, a connecting plate, and a snap plate. The main shell has a slot, and the snap plates on both sides of the lid combine to facilitate the sealing function of the lunch box body. The main shell is equipped with a paper slider and a paper soup box. When the user needs it, the soup box can be slid to divide the internal space of the lunch box. When the user does not need it, the paper soup box can be removed without occupying the internal partition space of the lunch box, making it convenient for the user.
[0004] Based on the above information, it is clear that the existing technology of the flip-top paper lunch box is only fixed to the main body of the lunch box by a snap-on plate, which has poor sealing performance. During transportation, it is easy for soup to leak and food to spill out, which will not only pollute the outer packaging and the surrounding environment, but may also affect the consumer's dining experience. Therefore, we propose an improved flip-top paper lunch box. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an improved flip-top paper lunch box to solve the problem mentioned in the background art where the flip-top of the lunch box is only fixed to the main body of the lunch box by a buckle plate, resulting in poor sealing. During transportation, soup leakage and food spillage are likely to occur, which will not only pollute the outer packaging and the surrounding environment, but may also affect the consumer's dining experience. Therefore, we propose an improved flip-top paper lunch box.
