Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a box-shaped packaging box having a packaging form in which an opening top surface of a box main body housing an accommodated body is covered with a sheet material, and particularly to a packaging box using the sheet material as a POP (advertising material).

Background Art

[0002] In production factories such as beverage manufacturers and confectionery manufacturers, conventionally, products such as bottled beverages and confectionery products are quantitatively accommodated in cardboard boxes, and the cardboard boxes printed with product names and advertisements are used as outer boxes, and are shipped and delivered to retail stores and the like.

[0003] In retail stores that receive packaging boxes containing products, the products are taken out of the packaging boxes and sold by arranging them on display shelves, or a plurality of packaging boxes containing the same product are stacked, and the upper half of the cardboard of the packaging box at the upper position is removed to display the products.

[0004] When removing the packaging material such as the upper half of the packaging box and displaying and selling, since there is little information for advertising, as shown in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the top plate portion of the packaging box itself is folded up and erected, or as shown in Patent Document 3, the front panel of the packaging box is folded out forward and used as an advertising portion.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] In the above method of using a portion of the packaging box as an advertising area, it is necessary to print product information and information that constitutes the advertising area together at the stage of the corrugated cardboard sheet or when it is a flat blank punched out from the sheet, which is necessary for managing the packaging box during the distribution process.

[0007] Therefore, it is difficult to change the information placed on the advertising section with each season or in accordance with sales promotion plans. In addition, there is a problem in that the advertising section cannot be made to have the same finish as catalogs or brochures due to the limitations of the printing methods that can be used on corrugated cardboard.

[0008] Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to construct a packaging box comprising a box body for containing products such as bottled beverages and confectionery products, and a separate packaging material portion that can be used for advertising, with the objective of easily accommodating changes to the information provided in the advertising portion. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] (Invention of Claim 1) The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems, and is a packaging box comprising a block-shaped box body having an open top surface, and a sheet material that is placed over the box body from above to close the storage space inside the box, The main body of the box is, It has a bottom surface, a first side surface and a second side surface facing each other in a first direction, and a third side surface and a fourth side surface facing each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, The sheet material is, The POP panels are stacked on three sides along the first direction, extending from the top of the first side of the box body through the opening top surface to the top of the second side, An engagement panel is provided which is connected to the fourth side of the box body of the POP panel and has an engagement piece that protrudes toward the bottom of the box body, The first and second POP-fastening panels are detachably connected to each of the opposing sides in the first direction of the POP panel via cutting means, and are attached to the first and second sides of the box body, A POP support panel is attached to the third side of the box body portion, connected to the side of the POP panel facing the second direction, and has an engagement hole into which the engagement piece of the engagement panel can be inserted. It comprises an engaging panel that is detachably connected to the engaging panel via a cutting mechanism and an engaging piece-retaining panel that is attached to the fourth side of the box body, The present invention provides a packaging box characterized by the following features: at the position of the cutting means, the POP panel and the first and second POP fastening panels are separated; the engaging panel and the engaging piece fastening panel are separated; the POP panel is folded in half from the crease position along the first direction of the POP panel so that the upper surfaces of the POP panel face each other; and the engaging piece of the engaging panel is inserted into the engaging hole of the POP support panel, so that the POP panel stands upright toward the top of the box body in the folded state.

[0010] (Invention of Claim 2) Furthermore, in the above invention, a POP tilt prevention tongue is cut out and formed from the third side edge of the POP panel into the area of ​​the POP support panel, When the folded POP panel is standing upright, it is preferable to configure it so that the POP tilt prevention tab is hooked onto the upper end of the plate material on the third side of the box body, thereby restricting the folding POP panel from tilting towards the box body.

[0011] (Invention of Claim 3) Another invention is a packaging box comprising a block-shaped box body with an open top surface, and a sheet material that is placed over the box body from above to close the storage space inside the box, The main body of the box is, It has a bottom surface, a first side surface and a second side surface facing each other in a first direction, and a third side surface and a fourth side surface facing each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, The sheet material is, The POP panels are stacked on three sides along the first direction, extending from the top of the first side of the box body through the opening top surface to the top of the second side, An insertion panel is provided which is connected to the fourth side of the box body of the POP panel and has an insertion piece that protrudes toward the bottom of the box body, The first and second POP-fastening panels are attached to the first and second sides of the box body, and are detachably connected via cutting means to each of the opposing sides in the first direction of the POP panel. A POP support panel is attached to the third side of the box body, which is connected to the side facing the second direction of the POP panel, and is mounted on the third side. It comprises an insertion panel that is detachably connected to the insertion panel via a cutting mechanism and an insertion-type retaining panel attached to the fourth side of the box body, The present invention relates to a packaging box characterized by the following features: separating the POP panel from the first and second POP fastening panels at the position of the cutting means described above; separating the insertion panel from the insertion piece fastening panel; folding the POP panel in half from the fold line position along the first direction of the POP panel so that the lower surfaces of the POP panel face each other; and inserting the insertion piece of the insertion panel between the POP support panel and the box body so that the POP panel stands upright facing upwards towards the box body in the folded state. The present invention relates to a packaging box that solves the above problems.

[0012] (Invention of Claim 4) Furthermore, in the above invention, a POP tilt prevention tongue is cut out and formed in the region of the insertion panel from the fourth side edge of the POP panel. When the folded POP panel is standing upright, it is possible to configure it so that the POP tilt prevention tab is hooked onto the upper end of the plate material on the third side of the box body, thereby restricting the folding POP panel from tilting towards the box body. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] (Effects of the invention of claim 1) According to the invention of claim 1, at the position of the cutting means, by separating the POP panel and the first POP fastening panel and separating the POP panel and the second POP fastening panel, the opposite sides of the POP panel in the first direction become free ends, and by separating the engaging panel and the engaging piece fastening panel, the POP panel can be made continuous with the POP supporting panel and can be lifted upward above the box body part.

[0014] Then, the upper surfaces of the POP panels are folded in a double-fold manner so as to face each other inward, and the engaging piece of the engaging panel is inserted into the engaging hole of the POP supporting panel, so that the POP panel is provided with a configuration in which it stands up upward above the box body part in a double-fold state.

[0015] As a result, an advertising surface portion for POP is obtained by a sheet material instead of the packaging material of the box body part. Therefore, it is also possible to adopt a sheet material suitable for desired printing, and there is an effect that an advertising surface portion with a high eye-catching effect can be displayed and the product housed in the packaging box can be displayed. Also, since only the printing of the sheet material needs to be changed, it is easy to cope with the change of the information provided in the advertising portion.

[0016] (Effect of the invention of claim 2) According to the invention of claim 2, when the double-folded POP panel stands up, the POP tilt prevention tongue piece is hooked on the upper end of the plate material of the third side surface of the box body part so as to restrict the tilting of the double-folded POP panel toward the box body part side, so that the standing state of the double-folded POP panel is stabilized.

[0017] Therefore, if advertising information including a logo, product information, catchphrase, character drawing, pattern, etc. is provided on the surface side that protrudes outward in a double-folded state, there is an effect that the advertising information is more likely to catch the eye from a stable display surface.

[0018] (Effect of the invention of claim 3) According to the invention of claim 3, by separating the POP panel and the first POP fastening panel at the position of the cutting means, and also separating the POP panel and the second POP fastening panel, each of the opposing sides of the POP panel in the first direction becomes a free end, and by separating the insertion panel and the insertion side fastening panel, the POP panel can be made continuous with the POP support panel and raised upwards toward the box body.

[0019] The POP panel is then folded in half so that the bottom surfaces face inward, and the insertion piece of the insertion panel is inserted between the POP support panel and the fourth side of the box body, so that the POP panel stands upright facing upwards towards the box body in its folded state.

[0020] This allows for the creation of an advertising surface for POP (point-of-purchase) displays using sheet material instead of the packaging material of the box itself. Therefore, it becomes possible to use sheet materials that are suitable for the desired printing, and it is possible to display the product in the packaging box with a highly eye-catching advertising area. In addition, since only the printing on the sheet material needs to be changed, it is easy to change the information placed on the advertising area.

[0021] (Effects of the invention of claim 4) According to the invention of claim 4, when the folded POP panel is standing upright, the POP tilt prevention tab is hooked onto the upper end of the plate material on the third side of the box body, thereby restricting the folding POP panel from tilting toward the box body, and thus the upright state of the folded POP panel is stabilized.

[0022] Therefore, similar to the effect of the invention of claim 2, if advertising information including a logo, product information, catchphrase, character illustration, or pattern is provided on the side that is exposed to the outside when the item is folded in half, the advertising information will be more easily noticed from a stable display surface.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0024] Next, the present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiment. In the figure, 1 is a packaging box according to the present invention, and the packaging box 1 is made of corrugated cardboard and consists of a box body 2 having an open top surface 2a, which is assembled from blanks and overlapped as required, and a sheet material 3 which is overlapped from the top of the box body 2 so as to cover the open top surface 2a of the box body 2, and the four sheet portions that protrude from the part corresponding to the upper outer frame of the box body 2 are folded down and overlapped and attached to the four sides of the box body 2.

[0025] The box body 2 is box-shaped, with two sides facing the first direction X designated as the first side 2b and the second side 2c, and two sides facing the second direction Y, which is perpendicular to the first direction X, designated as the third side 2d and the fourth side 2e.

[0026] (Box body) The box body 2 is a box-shaped body having an open top surface 2a, formed by having the sides rise up from the four sides of the bottom surface 2f. As shown in Figure 2, the front wall plate 5 and the rear wall plate 6 are connected to the rectangular bottom wall plate 4 by bending a pair of opposing sides (opposite to the second direction Y) in the vertical direction of the box, and these front wall plate 5 and rear wall plate 6 form the fourth side surface 2e and the third side surface 2d of the box body 2.

[0027] Furthermore, side wall flaps 7 are provided on two sides of the front wall panel 5, bent in a direction aligned with the opposing direction between the front wall panel 5 and the rear wall panel 6, and side wall flaps 8 are provided on two sides of the rear wall panel 6, similarly bent in a direction aligned with the opposing direction between the front wall panel 5 and the rear wall panel 6, and positioned to abut against the side wall flaps 7.

[0028] Furthermore, the bottom wall plate 4, which forms the bottom surface 2f, has another pair of opposing sides (first direction X) to which side wall outer flaps 9 are attached. These flaps are folded upward in the vertical direction of the box and are overlapped and glued to the outer surfaces of the aforementioned two side wall inner flaps 7 and side wall inner flaps 8, which are positioned to abut against each other. By arranging the outer side flap 9 from the outside to overlap with the inner side flaps 7 and 8 on the two sides of the side wall, the first side 2b and the second side 2c of the box body 2 are formed.

[0029] As shown in the diagram, the outer side flap 9 does not cover the entire outer surface of the inner side flap 7 and inner side flap 8, but rather is a flap that has a height from the side edge of the bottom wall plate 4 to the middle level of the box.

[0030] The main body of the box 2 is made of corrugated cardboard and only needs to be strong enough to withstand normal handling during transport of the packaging box 1. Furthermore, as this part will be equipped with a handle as described later, it only needs to be strong enough to withstand the use of the handle without being damaged, and the material is not limited.

[0031] (Sheet material) As shown in Figure 3, in the first embodiment, the sheet material 3 comprises a POP panel 10, an engagement panel 11, a first POP retaining panel 12, a second POP retaining panel 13, a POP support panel 14, and an engagement piece retaining panel 15.

[0032] The material of sheet material 3 is not particularly limited, but examples include water-resistant paper, corrugated cardboard, and synthetic resin sheets.

[0033] (POP panel) In the sheet material 3, the POP panel 10 is a rectangle that is longer horizontally than the opening top surface 2a, and is longer than the length of the opening top surface 2a in the first direction X, and the same length as the opening top surface 2a in the second direction Y. Furthermore, in the packaging box configuration where the sheet material 3 is placed over the box body 2 from above, it overlaps three surfaces along the first direction X, extending from the upper side portion of the first side surface 2b of the box body 2, through the opening top surface 2a, to the upper side portion of the second side surface 2c.

[0034] (Engagement panel) The engagement panel 11 is connected to the fourth side 2e side (one of the longer sides) of the side of the POP panel 10 that faces the second direction Y, and its length is the same as the length of the opening top surface 2a in the first direction X, i.e., the width dimension of the front wall panel 5. Furthermore, in the packaging box configuration where the sheet material 3 is placed over the box body 2 from above, it is superimposed on the front wall panel 5 as shown in Figure 1.

[0035] Furthermore, in this engagement panel 11, a pair of engagement pieces 16 are provided, arranged in the first direction X, with the key point at the lower end of each piece having a convex shape directed downward in the vertical direction of the box (towards the bottom surface 2f).

[0036] (First and second POP mounting panels) The first POP-style panel 12 is attached to one of the sides of the POP panel 10 that faces the first direction X via a cutting means 17.

[0037] The first POP retaining panel 12 is located on the first side 2b side, together with the cutting means 17, and the portion that overlaps with the upper side region of the first side 2b of the POP panel 10. The width of the first POP mounting panel 12 in the second direction Y is the same as the width of the POP panel 10 in the second direction Y.

[0038] The first POP retaining panel 12 is attached so that its lower end covers the upper part of the side wall outer flap 9, and by attaching this first POP retaining panel 12 to the side wall outer flap 9 with adhesive means 28, the part of the POP panel 10 corresponding to the first side surface 2b is superimposed on this first side surface 2b.

[0039] Similarly, the second POP-style panel 13 is also attached to the other side of the POP panel 10 that faces the first direction X, via a cutting means 17.

[0040] The second POP retaining panel 13 is also located on the second side 2c side, along with the portion that overlaps the upper side region of the second side 2c of the POP panel 10 and the cutting means 17. The width of the second POP mounting panel 13 in the second direction Y is the same as the width of the POP panel 10 in the second direction Y.

[0041] The second POP retaining panel 13 is attached in the same way as the first POP retaining panel 12, with its lower end covering the upper part of the side wall outer flap 9. By attaching the second POP retaining panel 13 to the side wall outer flap 9, the portion of the POP panel 10 corresponding to the second side surface 2c is overlapped and lies face down on this second side surface 2c.

[0042] (POP support panel 14) The POP support panel 14 is connected to the third side 2d side of the POP panel 10, which is opposite the second direction Y, and its length in the first direction X is the same as the length in the first direction X of the POP panel 10. The end of the POP support panel 14 on the bottom side 2f is attached to the rear wall plate 6, which is the third side 2d, and the POP support panel 14 is superimposed on the rear wall plate 6. Furthermore, since the POP support panel 14 is a panel that supports the POP panel 10 in the upright position described later, it is possible to secure a wider area for bonding with the rear wall panel 6 as needed.

[0043] The POP support panel 14 has two engagement holes 18, as shown in the figure. The engagement holes 18 are openings into which the engagement pieces 16 can be inserted. The engagement panel 11, which will be described later and is connected to the upright POP panel 10, is placed on top of the POP support panel 14, and the engagement pieces 16 are inserted into the engagement holes 18, so that the engagement pieces 16 engage with the engagement holes 18 and stabilize the upright position of the folded POP panel 10.

[0044] (Engaging piece with concealed panel 15) The engaging side-layered fastening panel 15 is a panel that, like the first and second POP fastening panels 12 and 13 described above, is used to create a box-like structure in which the sheet material 3 is attached to the box body 2, so that the engaging panel 11 lies face down on the front wall panel 5 when the box is formed in this way.

[0045] Furthermore, the engaging piece retaining panel 15 has the same length in the second direction Y as the engaging panel 11 in the second direction Y, and is connected to the lower end of the engaging panel 11, which has the engaging piece 16 protruding, via a cutting means 17 corresponding to the shape of this lower end.

[0046] The engaging single-sided retaining panel 15 has its bottom surface 2f end attached to the front wall panel 5 (fourth side surface 2e) with adhesive, and by attaching the engaging single-sided retaining panel 15 to the front wall panel 5, the engaging panel 11 overlaps the front wall panel 5 in a face-down state without being lifted up.

[0047] (Method of cutting) The above-mentioned cutting means 17 is made by creating two perforations in the material of the sheet material 3, so that the strip-shaped portion between the perforations can be removed by cutting along the perforations.

[0048] Therefore, by performing a cutting operation on the sheet material 3 at the desired position of the cutting means 17, the POP panel 10 and the first and second POP fastening panels 12 and 13 can be separated, and the engaging panel 11 and the engaging piece fastening panel 15 can be separated.

[0049] (Handle) On the first side 2b and second side 2c of the box body 2, side wall outer flaps 9, which are connected to the bottom wall plate 4, are erected. The material of the side wall outer flaps 9 is corrugated cardboard, and it is a highly rigid surface material.

[0050] Therefore, in this embodiment, handle means 19 are provided on the outer side flaps 9 on two opposing sides of the packaging box 1. As a result, when necessary, the user can place their hand on the handle means 19 and lift the packaging box 1.

[0051] Figure 4 shows the second side 2c of the packaging box 1. The inner side flaps 7 and 8 are arranged side by side at the position of the second side 2c, and the outer side flap 9, which rises from the bottom of the box, is overlapped and glued to the packaging box, with a height that extends from the midpoint between the inner side flaps 7 and 8 towards the top of the box.

[0052] Furthermore, the handle means 19 is positioned at the center of the side wall outer flap 9 in the lateral direction, and at a height close to the center of gravity of the packaging box 1 containing the contents.

[0053] As shown in Figure 4, the handle means 19 is a part that divides the folded-back piece 22 with a mountain-shaped fold line 20 and a roughly U-shaped perforation 21 that is continuous with the end of the fold line 20 and protrudes toward the bottom of the box, so that when desired the folded-back piece 22 can be folded toward the box body 2 at the position of the fold line 20 and then folded upward.

[0054] The folded-over piece 22, surrounded by the fold lines 20 and perforations 21, is divided into left and right halves by a vertical slit connected to the top of the mountain-shaped fold lines 20. When folded, the two halves are folded diagonally upward in different directions, creating a handle hole that is difficult for the hand to move when it is placed on it.

[0055] The handle means 19 is not limited to the above example. Perforations may be made around the entire circumference of the portion that will become the handle hole so that a handle hole can be obtained when needed, and the handle hole may be formed by cutting along the perforations. Alternatively, the handle hole may be a through-hole that is pre-opened.

[0056] Furthermore, although not shown in the figures, the inner side wall flaps 7 and 8 have cutouts in the portion corresponding to the handle means 19, allowing for easy folding of the return piece 22 and insertion of fingertips.

[0057] Although the handle means 19 has been described using the second side 2c of the box body 2 as an example, the handle means 19 on the first side 2b has a similar configuration.

[0058] (Notch for POP display panel) As shown in Figure 4, the first POP-fastening panel 12 and the second POP-fastening panel 13 of the sheet material 3 are superimposed so as to cover the upper end of the side wall outer flap 9 on which the handle means 19 is located, and the lower ends of the first POP-fastening panel 12 and the second POP-fastening panel 13 are bonded together. Furthermore, the first POP-folding panel 12 and the second POP-folding panel 13 are each provided with a notch 23 that allows the handle means 19 to be exposed outward without interfering with it.

[0059] (Arrangement of the first and second POP retaining panels and the side wall outer flaps) In this way, the lower ends of the first POP retaining panel 12 and the second POP retaining panel 13 are attached to the outer surface of the side wall outer flap 9, so that there are no parts below the first POP retaining panel 12 and the second POP retaining panel 13 for placing hands on other than the handle means 19. Therefore, when handling the packaging box 1, it is possible to prevent problems such as tearing caused by directly touching the bottom edge of the first POP fastening panel 12 or the bottom edge of the second POP fastening panel 13.

[0060] Alternatively, without providing the notch 23, the lower edge of the first POP retaining panel 12 and the lower edge of the second POP retaining panel 13 may be positioned to abut against the upper end of the side wall outer flap 9, so that the lower end of the first POP retaining panel 12 and the lower end of the second POP retaining panel 13 are attached to the side wall inner flaps 7 and 8 on the first side surface 2b and the second side surface 2c.

[0061] (POP panel stands up) In the first embodiment of the packaging box 1 shown in Figures 1 to 4, the lower surface 10a (the inner surface of the box) of the POP panel 10 made of sheet material 3 is used as the advertising display surface when the POP panel is standing upright. Advertising information 29 such as product information, logos, pictures, and character illustrations is provided on the lower surface 10a of the POP panel 10 by printing or other means.

[0062] Furthermore, on the outer surface of the packaging box 1 when the POP panel 10 is not erected, it is possible to include not only information about the product but also instructions on how to assemble the POP panel 10.

[0063] In this first embodiment, when the POP panel 10 is raised to face the information on the box body 2, first, the strip portion at the cutting means 17 is removed at the position of the cutting means 17 to separate the POP panel 10 from the first POP retaining panel 12, and then the POP panel 10 from the second POP retaining panel 13. Also, the engaging panel 11 and the engaging piece retaining panel 15 are separated.

[0064] The POP panel 10 has a valley fold crease 24 in the center that is aligned with the first direction X. The POP panel 10 is folded in half from the position of this crease 24 so that the upper surfaces 10b of the POP panel 10 face each other, and the entire POP panel 10 is raised upwards toward the box body 2.

[0065] Next, by folding the POP panel 10 in half, the engaging panel 11 moves towards the POP support panel 14 and overlaps with it. Then, the engaging piece 16 of the engaging panel 11 is inserted into the engaging hole 18 provided in the POP support panel 14 and engaged. See Figure 5.

[0066] Since the POP panel 10 that was covering the opening top surface 2a of the box body 2 stands up, the opening top surface 2a is exposed to the outside, and the products contained inside can be freely removed.

[0067] Furthermore, the POP panel 14, along with the portion that overlapped the upper area of ​​the first side 2b and the portion that overlapped the upper area of ​​the second side 2c, now stands upright toward the top of the box body 2. This makes the advertising information 29 on the bottom surface 10a of the POP panel 14 easily visible, and allows for the display of a large amount of advertising information on an elevation longer than the length of the box body 2 in the first direction X. (See Figure 6)

[0068] (Second embodiment) Figure 7 shows the sheet material 3 used in the packaging box 1 of the second embodiment in an unfolded state, and Figure 8 shows a cross-section of the valley-fold POP panel 10 in an upright position. This second embodiment makes the upright position of the POP panel 10, which is folded in half using a valley fold, even more stable than in the case of the packaging box 1 of the first embodiment.

[0069] (POP tilt prevention tongue) As shown in Figure 7, in the second embodiment, a semicircular notch is made on the POP panel 10 from the side of the POP support panel 14 (third side 2d) towards the bottom surface 2f, and two semicircular disc-shaped POP tilt prevention tongues 25 are formed in the area of ​​the POP support panel 14, spaced apart in the first direction X.

[0070] Similar to the packaging box 1 in the first embodiment described above, the POP panel 10 is folded in half from the position of the valley fold crease 24 and raised upwards toward the box body 2, while each of the engaging pieces 16 is inserted into the engaging hole 18.

[0071] Furthermore, in this second embodiment, each of the POP tilt prevention tongues 25 is inserted toward the inner surface of the rear wall plate 6, so that the POP tilt prevention tongues 25 are hooked onto the upper end of the rear wall plate 6.

[0072] In order to make the POP panel 10 stand upright, the folding portion 26 of the POP panel 10 is opened. However, the POP tilt prevention tongue 25, which is continuous with this folding portion 26, is inserted into the box-inside side opposite to the POP support panel 14 and hooked onto the upper end of the rear wall panel 6. This restricts the tilting of the POP panel towards the box body, which would otherwise be caused by the crease of the folding portion 26. This makes the upright position of the foldable POP panel 10 more stable.

[0073] (Third embodiment) In the packaging box 1 of the above embodiment, the box is separated at the position of the cutting means 17, and when the POP panel 10 is raised with the space between the POP panel 10 and the POP support panel 14 as the center, the POP panel 10 is folded in a valley fold. However, in the third embodiment described below, the POP panel 10 is folded in a mountain fold.

[0074] (Engagement panel) Figure 9 shows the sheet material 3 used in the packaging box 1 of the third embodiment in an unfolded state. The engagement panel 11 in this sheet material 3 has a straight lower end, and an engagement single-sided retaining panel 15 is attached to the straight lower end via a similarly straight cutting means 17, and this engagement single-sided retaining panel 15 is attached to the front wall plate 5 of the box body 2.

[0075] In the engagement panel 11 described above, each side facing the first direction X is inclined toward the center of the fourth side surface 2e as it descends from the top of the box toward the bottom surface 2f, and the entire engagement panel 11 forms a single engagement piece 16.

[0076] Furthermore, within the region of the engagement panel 11, a semicircular notch is made from the edge of the POP panel 10 on the engagement panel 11 side toward the bottom surface 2f of the engagement panel 11, and semicircular POP tilt prevention tongues 25 are formed in pairs with spacing in the first direction X.

[0077] (POP support panel) Furthermore, the POP support panel 14 in the sheet material 3 is a face panel whose end on the bottom surface 2f side is attached to the rear wall panel 6, and this POP support panel 14 is continuously installed on the third side surface 2d side of the POP panel 10.

[0078] (POP panel stands up) In this third embodiment, when raising the POP panel 14, first, the POP panel 10 and the first and second POP retaining panels 12 and 13 are separated at the position of the cutting means 17, and the engaging panel 11 and the engaging piece retaining panel 15 are separated.

[0079] The POP panel 10 has a mountain fold crease 27 in the center along the first direction X. When the POP panel 10 is erected, it is folded in a mountain fold from the position of the fold crease 27 so that the lower surfaces 10a of the POP panel 10 overlap, and raised upwards toward the box body 2.

[0080] Then, the engagement panel 11 (engagement piece 16) is inserted between the rear wall plate 6 of the box body 2 and the POP support panel 14, and the POP tilt prevention tongue piece 25 is hooked onto the upper end of the rear wall plate 6. See Figure 10.

[0081] In this example, even if the folded portion 26 of the POP panel 10 (the edge on the POP support panel 14 side) starts to tilt due to the crease, the POP tilt prevention tongue 25 engages with the upper end of the rear wall plate 6, so the upright position of the POP panel 10, which is folded in half with a mountain fold, remains stable.

[0082] In the third embodiment, when the POP panel 10 is folded in half and stood upright, the top surface 10b faces outward. Therefore, the advertising information 29 is provided on the top surface 10b. [Explanation of Symbols]
