Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9605108A1] Package constructions made by methods of sealing boxes of the type having shortened major flaps which form a gap between the flap edges by adhesive tapes are described. A tape of a width sufficient to cover the gap formed between the flaps is utilized in the method and package constructions of the present invention, and the tape is preferably provided with plural adhesive strips with an intermediate non-adhesive longitudinal portion. Various tape constructions are contemplated to be used in accordance with the methods and package constructions of the present invention. According to one package construction, the method of box sealing includes the use of an adhesive tape having plural adhesive strips and an intermediate non-adhesive portion and applying the tape to at least a part of the box surface defined by the box flaps so that an adhesive strip is adhered to each flap and the non-adhesive portion covers at least some of the gap formed between the flap edges. According to another package construction of the present invention, the length of tape applied to a box surface is provided with a tab along its length formed by spaced slits within the non-adhesive portion of the tape length.
