Foldable Display Carton With Integrated Divider
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional foldable display cartons require separate dividers made from additional material, increasing material requirements and assembly time, which is inefficient for packaging and displaying non-standing items.
Innovation Solution
A foldable display carton design where dividers are integrated into the same sheet of stock material as the carton, allowing them to be foldably connected and reducing material and assembly time, with perforations and locking features for easy assembly and stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate dividers are used in foldable display cartons, then the cartons can effectively support non-standing items, but material requirements and assembly time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the dividers directly into the carton structure by forming them from the same sheet of stock material as the carton body. The dividers are created through die-cutting and folding operations during carton manufacturing, eliminating the need for separate divider components and reducing assembly steps while maintaining the support function for non-standing items

3Productivity
If integrated dividers are used in foldable display cartons, then material usage and assembly time are reduced, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses die-cutting to create segmented sections in the sheet material that will form the dividers when folded. These segmented sections are separated by score lines and fold lines, allowing the dividers to be formed through controlled folding operations during carton assembly, managing manufacturing complexity through precise pre-planning of fold and cut patterns
