Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional affixed boxes require significant space for storage and transportation due to their assembled state, and reassembling them with adhesive can be cumbersome and aesthetically undesirable, especially when used for packaging food items.

Innovation Solution

A packaging box sheet comprising a sheet-like mounting board with decorative paper, where the mounting board has a polygonal bottom and side boards with notch grooves for easy folding, and the decorative paper includes adhesive layers covered by release paper, allowing for space-efficient storage and assembly into an aesthetically pleasing affixed box.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If affixed boxes are delivered in an assembled state, then they are ready for use, but delivery cost increases due to larger space requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereadiness for useVSAvoidtransportation space
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The affixed box is divided into separate components (bottom board, side boards, decorative paper with adhesive layers) that can be flattened and transported efficiently, then assembled at the destination to form the complete box structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The packaging box sheet components are designed to nest within each other when flattened, with the decorative paper wrapping around the board structure, allowing compact transportation while maintaining the ability to assemble into the full box form at the destination

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Volume of moving object

If affixed boxes are cut and reassembled with adhesive, then volume is reduced for transport, but aesthetic appearance deteriorates due to adhesive protrusion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransportation volumeVSAvoidaesthetic appearance
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The decorative paper is pre-affixed to the bottom board and first side boards in a controlled manufacturing environment where precise alignment can be achieved, ensuring that adhesive does not protrude and aesthetic appearance is maintained from the outset rather than requiring post-assembly correction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

A release paper layer is used as an intermediary between the adhesive and the second side boards, allowing the adhesive to be applied and positioned precisely without direct contact that would cause protrusion, while still enabling effective bonding when the release paper is removed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Volume of moving object

If affixed boxes are cut and reassembled, then transportation space is saved, but shop clerks bear heavy burden of reassembly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage spaceVSAvoidreassembly difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The decorative paper is pre-affixed to certain components in the factory with precise positioning, so that at the point of use, shop clerks only need to perform simple assembly operations rather than complex alignment and bonding tasks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The release paper serves as a temporary protective layer that simplifies the assembly process by allowing components to be positioned and held in place during assembly, then easily removed to complete the bonding without requiring special skills or tools

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Strength

If adhesive is used to reassemble affixed boxes, then structural integrity is restored, but adhesive may contact food items creating safety concerns

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidfood safety risk
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The decorative paper with adhesive is pre-affixed to the bottom board and first side boards in a controlled manufacturing environment, ensuring that adhesive is completely enclosed within the box structure before food items are placed inside, eliminating any risk of adhesive contact with food

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The decorative paper itself acts as an intermediary barrier between the adhesive and the interior space where food items will be placed, allowing the adhesive to provide structural bonding strength while the paper layer prevents any direct or indirect contact with food items

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
