Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3184452A1] A method for erecting a pre-creased planar blank (20) into a box (22) comprises: a first step of folding a blank (20) along selected crease lines; a second step of folding a first-stage partially folded box (26) along selected crease lines; a third step of securing a first outer longitudinal sidewall (ISW1) to a first inner longitudinal sidewall (1SW) and a second outer longitudinal sidewall (2SW1) to a second inner longitudinal sidewall (2SW); a fourth step of folding a second-stage partially folded box (28) along selected crease lines to form the fully erected box (22); and a fifth step of securing a first transverse flange (1TF) to first and second longitudinal flanges (ILF, 2LF), and a second transverse flange (2TF) to the first and second longitudinal flanges (ILF, 2LF). The blank (20) can be made of any suitable material, e.g., corrugated plastic sheet.
