Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional packaging boxes with integrated hanging parts are not rectangular in shape, making them inconvenient for storage and display, and separate hanging parts are cumbersome to attach, leading to inefficient storage and limited display options.

Innovation Solution

A six-sided rectangular packaging box design with a through hole for a hanger and a cut-out portion for easy assembly from a single sheet, maintaining a clean rectangular shape for storage and display, and allowing easy conversion between storage and hanging forms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a hanging part is integrated into the packaging box, then the hanging function is improved, but the rectangular shape is lost making storage inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehanging functionVSAvoidrectangular shape
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The hanging part is extracted as a separate component that can be attached to or removed from the packaging box. The box itself maintains a clean rectangular shape without integrated hanging structures, allowing it to be stored efficiently while still providing hanging capability when needed through separate attachment of the hanging part.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a separate hanging part is attached to the packaging box, then the hanging function is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehanging functionVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging box and hanging part are designed as components that can be easily combined through simple attachment mechanisms. The hanging part includes features that align with and attach to corresponding features on the box, creating a unified hanging assembly without requiring complex manufacturing processes or multiple assembly steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If a hanging part-integrated packaging box is used, then the hanging function is improved, but the display appearance is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehanging functionVSAvoiddisplay appearance
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The hanging part is separated from the main body of the packaging box, allowing the box to maintain a clean, neat rectangular appearance when displayed on shelves. The hanging function is provided by the separate component which can be attached when needed for rack display, but does not compromise the aesthetic appearance of the box itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

The present invention relates to a packaging box and, more specifically, to a packaging box which has both a function of packaging and storing a product and a function of hanging a packaging box on a hanger and displaying the packaging box. The packaging box enables a storage form and a hanging form to be simply switched, thereby enabling a perfect rectangular shape to be maintained without exposing a hanging part during a distribution process or when the packaging box is erected and displayed on a display stand, and enabling the packaging box to be hung and displayed on a rack. In addition, the packaging box can be manufactured by using a sheet formed in one unfolded view, so as to be easily manufactured and have all constituent elements connected without being separated, thereby resolving a problem in which some of the constituent elements deviate or are separated therefrom.
