Abstract:
A box suitable for the packaging of a consumer product is formed by helically wrapping an elongated continuous strip of material around a mandrel to form a main body with a plurality of bands. In one embodiment, adjacent bands partially overlie one another to form a multi-paneled main body with an open top end and an open bottom end. An adhesive is disposed within the region of contact between adjacent bands to retain the shape of the main body. First and second sets of slots are formed in the main body to create flaps dimensioned to selectively enclose the open top and bottom ends, respectively. To define the flaps and promote pivotal articulation, the main body is also preferably provided with score lines. By adjusting the configuration of the mandrel, a customized box can be constructed that is sized to receive a consumer product with limited wasted space.

Claim (Index 20):
A strip of material, comprising:\n (a) a first linerboard having a front surface, a rear surface, a generally planar top edge and a generally planar bottom edge; (b) a second linerboard having a front surface, a rear surface, a generally planar top edge and a generally planar bottom edge; and (c) a corrugated layer disposed between the first and second linerboards, the corrugated layer having a front surface, a rear surface, a generally planar top edge and a generally planar bottom edge; (d) wherein the top edge of the first linerboard extends beyond the top edge of the corrugated layer and the bottom edge of the first linerboard lies generally flush with the bottom edge of the corrugated layer; (e) wherein the top edge of the second linerboard lies generally flush with the top edge of the corrugated layer and the bottom edge of the second linerboard extends beyond the bottom edge of the corrugated layer.
