Color Coded Packing Box Apparatus

A color coded packing box apparatus for convenient and efficient moving includes a set of sidewalls each having a sidewall top edge and a sidewall bottom edge. The sidewall top edge has a top slit extending into a front sidewall. The sidewall bottom edge has a bottom slit extending into a back sidewall. A top wall is foldably coupled to the sidewall top edge along the back sidewall. A top tab is coupled to the top wall to engage the top slit. A bottom wall is foldably coupled to the sidewall bottom edge along the front sidewall. A bottom tab is coupled to the bottom wall to engage the bottom slit. Each of the sidewalls, the top wall, and the bottom wall are a solid color for visual organization when a plurality of color coded packing box apparatuses are in use.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1) Field of the Invention

The disclosure relates to packing box devices and more particularly pertains to a new packing box device for convenient and efficient moving. The present device includes a plurality of foldable flaps to allow for flat folding as well as easy assembly. There is a pair of closure tabs which eliminate the necessity for tape. Each device is colored to allow for easy organization during moves.

The prior art relates to packing box devices. Known devices utilize folding boxes that require tape to remain sealed. These devices also typically employ a write in box or receive stickers for organization during moves.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a set of sidewalls including a front sidewall, a back sidewall, a left sidewall, and a right sidewall. Each sidewall of the set of sidewalls has a sidewall top edge and a sidewall bottom edge. The set of sidewalls forms a rectangular prismatic box inside. The sidewall top edge has a top slit extending into the front sidewall. The sidewall bottom edge has a bottom slit extending into the back sidewall. A top wall is coupled to the set of sidewalls. The top wall has a top wall proximal edge foldably coupled to the sidewall top edge along the back sidewall. A top tab is coupled to the top wall. The top tab is foldably coupled to a top wall distal edge of the top wall. The top tab is selectively engageable within the top slit to secure the top wall against the sidewall top edge covering the box inside. A bottom wall is coupled to the set of sidewalls. The bottom wall has a bottom wall proximal edge foldably coupled to the sidewall bottom edge along the front sidewall. A bottom tab is coupled to the bottom wall. The bottom tab is foldably coupled to a bottom wall distal edge of the bottom wall. The bottom tab is selectively engageable within the bottom slit to secure the bottom wall against the sidewall bottom edge covering the box inside. Each of the sidewalls, the top wall, and the bottom wall are a solid color for visual organization when a plurality of color coded packing box apparatuses are in use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As best illustrated inFIGS.1through6, the color coded packing box apparatus10generally comprises a set of sidewalls12including a front sidewall14, a back sidewall16, a left sidewall18, and a right sidewall20. Each sidewall12of the set of sidewalls has a sidewall top edge22and a sidewall bottom edge24. The set of sidewalls12forms a rectangular prismatic box inside26or collapses for flat storage. Each of the sidewalls12may have a sidewall inner face28spaced apart from a sidewall outer face30. The sidewall top edge22has a top slit32extending into the front sidewall14between the sidewall inner face28and the sidewall outer face30. The sidewall bottom edge24has a bottom slit36extending into the back sidewall16.

A top wall40is coupled to the set of sidewalls12. The top wall40has a top wall proximal edge42foldably coupled to the sidewall top edge22along the back sidewall16. A pair of top lateral flaps44may be coupled to the top wall40. The pair of top lateral flaps44is foldably coupled to a pair of top lateral edges46of the top wall40. A top tab48may be coupled to the top wall40. The top tab48is foldably coupled to a top wall distal edge50of the top wall. The top tab48is selectively engageable within the top slit32to secure the top wall40against the sidewall top edge22to cover the box inside26. The pair of top lateral flaps44help secure the top wall40in place and seal the box inside26. The pair of top lateral flaps44may extend half way down the left sidewall18and the right sidewall20.

A bottom wall52is coupled to the set of sidewalls12. The bottom wall52has a bottom wall proximal edge54foldably coupled to the sidewall bottom edge24along the front sidewall14. A pair of bottom lateral flaps56is coupled to the bottom wall52. The pair of bottom lateral flaps56is foldably coupled to a pair of bottom lateral edges58of the bottom wall. The pair of bottom lateral flaps56help secure the bottom wall52in place and seal the box inside26. The pair of bottom lateral flaps56may extend half way down the left sidewall18and the right sidewall20to meet the pair of top lateral flaps44.

A bottom tab60is coupled to the bottom wall52. The bottom tab60is foldably coupled to a bottom wall distal edge62of the bottom wall. The bottom tab60is selectively engageable within the bottom slit36to secure the bottom wall52against the sidewall bottom edge24to cover the box inside26. Each of the top tab48and the bottom tab60may be trapezoidal with rounded corners to more easily enter the respective top slit32and bottom slit36.

An inner flap64may be coupled to the set of sidewalls12. The inner flap is foldably coupled to the sidewall bottom edge24along the back sidewall16. After the bottom wall52is folded into place with the bottom tab60engaging the bottom slit36, the inner flap64is folded down for reinforcement. The inner flap64conforms to the shape of the set of sidewalls12to rest against the sidewall bottom edge24.

Each of the sidewalls12, the top wall40, and the bottom wall52are a solid color for visual organization when a plurality of color coded packing box apparatuses10are in use. In use, the color coded packing box apparatus10allows for a method of use70comprising a step72comprising having a plurality of items to be moved66. A step74comprises having the color coded packing box apparatus10. A step76comprises packing the plurality of items to be moved66within the plurality of color coded packing box apparatuses10with each item66destined for the same room within the moving destination being placed within color coded packing box apparatuses10of the same color. A step78comprises moving the plurality of color coded packing box apparatuses10to the moving destination. A step80comprises distributing the plurality of color coded packing box apparatuses10to different rooms within the moving destination based on color.
