Description:
FIELD 
       [0001]    The subject matter herein generally relates to packaging containers, and particularly to a packaging container for electronic devices. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0002]    To prevent fragile precision electronic devices, such as mobile phones, from being damaged during transportation, the electronic devices are packaged in boxes before shipment. However, most of the boxes are discarded after the electronic devices are sold, so the boxes are wasted.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0007]    It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure. 
         [0008]    The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape, or other feature that the term modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, substantially cylindrical means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising,” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like. 
         [0009]    The present disclosure is described in relation to a packaging container. 
         [0010]      FIG. 1  and  FIG. 2  are isometric views of an embodiment of a packaging container  100 . The packaging container  100  is used to accommodate an electronic device and related accessories (e.g. an earphone, a charger, a data cable, an owner manual, and the like) when packaged. 
         [0011]    The packing container  100  includes a first portion  10 , a second portion  20 , and a bendable joint  30  integrally connected between the first portion  10  and the second portion  20 . The first portion  10 , the second portion  20 , and the bendable joint  30  can be made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polystyrene (PS), poly ethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or other plastic materials. In this exemplary embodiment, the first portion  10 , the second portion  20 , and the bendable joint  30  are made of PE. 
         [0012]    The first portion  10  includes a first main body  11  and a first hand grip  12 . The first main body  11  can have a rectangular shape and defines a first accommodation space  111 . The first hand grip  12  horizontally extends from a flange of the first main body  11  and defines a first hole  121 . In addition, the first hand grip  12  forms two protruding blocks  131  adjacent to two end of the first hole  121 , respectively. 
         [0013]    The second portion  20  is substantially same to the first portion  10 . The second portion  20  includes a second main body  21  and a second hand grip  22 . The second main body  21  can have a rectangular shape and defines a second accommodation space  211  corresponding to the first accommodation space  111 . The second hand grip  22  horizontally extends from a flange of the second main body  21  and defines a second hole  221 . In addition, the first hand grip  12  defines two recesses  231  adjacent to two end of the first hole  121 , respectively. When the second portion  20  covers the first portion  10 , the second accommodation space  211  communicates with the first accommodation space  111 , and the two protruding blocks  131  engage with the two recesses  231 , respectively. In at least one embodiment, both the first hole  121  and the second hole  221  can have an oval shape. 
         [0014]      FIG. 3  illustrates the bendable joint  30  including a first connection portion  31 , a second connection portion  32 , and a bent portion  33  connected between the first connection portion  31  and the second connection portion  32 . In addition, the first connection portion  31  is connected to a flange of the first main body  11  which is away from the first hand grip  12 , and the second connection portion  32  is connected to a flange of the second main body  21  which is away from the second hand grip  22 . In at least one embodiment, both the first connection portion  31  and the second connection portion  32  are substantially a rectangular strip, and the bent portion  33  is substantially an arcuate strip. 
         [0015]    Referring to  FIG. 2 , in use, the electronic device can be accommodated in the first accommodation space  111 , and the related accessories can be accommodated in the second accommodation space  211 . Optionally, the electronic device and the related accessories can be packed within foam, or other cushion materials, to absorb vibration. And then, the second portion  20  is folded on the first portion  10  via the bendable joint  30 . At this time, the two protruding blocks  131  are latched into the two recesses  231  to lock the packing container  100 . The first hand grip  12  is aligned with the second hand grip  12  to form an operation portion  24 , and the first hole  121  communicates with the second hole  221  to define an operation hole  25  to facilitate holding by users. 
         [0016]    The two protruding blocks  131  and the two recesses  231  cooperatively form a fixing structure  26 . In other embodiments, the first portion  10  and the second portion  20  can be engaged by magnets or other suitable fixing structures. 
         [0017]    In summary, the packaging container  100  can be reused by the purchaser. Thus, the packaging container  100  is eco-friendly. In addition, the packaging container  100  has a relatively simple structure and is easy to use. 
         [0018]    The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of the packaging container. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
