Abstract:
A method of making a box comprising:providing a sheet of material;trimming the sheet of material to form a first pair of opposing edges;grooving the sheet of material to form a first pair of grooves, each of the first pair of grooves being spaced from one of the first pair of edges to form a first pair of sides, wherein the steps of trimming to form a first pair of opposing edges and grooving to form a first pair of grooves are done in the same step;trimming the sheet of material to form a second pair of opposing edges;grooving the sheet of material to form a second pair of grooves, each of the second pair of grooves being spaced from one of the second pair of edges to form a second pair of sides, wherein the steps of trimming to form a second pair of opposing edges and grooving to form a second pair of grooves are done in the same step;a base defined between the first and second pairs of grooves, wherein the angle of each of the first and second pairs of sides with respect to the base is less than the angle at which the first and second pair of grooves are cut; andfolding the first and second pairs of sides in along the first and second pair of grooves and securing them together to form the box.
