Corrugated Box With Integral Lid And Closure Flaps

The box is divided into separate panels (side panels, end panels, bottom panel) that can be assembled without adhesives. Each panel is independently formed and joined through mechanical interlocking of flaps and slots, enabling field assembly while maintaining structural integrity through the multi-ply corrugated construction of each segment.

The box utilizes multi-ply corrugated paperboard construction where multiple layers of corrugated material are bonded together to form panels. This composite structure provides both the ease of folding/assembly and the necessary stacking strength, as the layered corrugated material maintains rigidity and load-bearing capacity without requiring adhesive assembly between panels.

The lid is integrally formed as part of the box structure from the same blank of corrugated material. The lid panels are hingedly connected to the side panels, creating a unified structure that provides secure closure without requiring separate attachment mechanisms. The closure flaps on the lid interlock with the box structure through slots and flaps, maintaining reliability while avoiding additional complexity.

The lid closure system uses self-latching flaps that insert into slots and engage with the box structure automatically when closed. The closure flaps have tabs that fit into corresponding slots, creating a self-sustaining closed position without requiring external fasteners, adhesives, or complex locking mechanisms. This self-service closure maintains reliability while minimizing added complexity.
