    (54) Composite packaging box and method of manufacturing same


    (57) 5n7 The two parts which make up the packaging box are produced by die-cutting from a single sheet of cardboard, are joined together in order to form a single-piece box and are optionally divided by cut lines and weakened lines (16, 17, 18, 19). The top part (B) of the box has longitudinal slots (21, 22, 23, 24) cut into the corners of its bottom part (A), these slots suitably reducing the width of that portion of the side walls in which they are made. When it is to be used, the box is opened out, its side walls are positioned so as to form a rectangle, and the bottom flaps are closed, after which means act along the said cut and weakened lines in order to separate the two parts of the box from each other and to ensure that the size of the transverse section at the bottom of what is to be the top part (B), with the said slots cut into the corners, is reduced so that it can be inserted telescopically into the bottom part (A) of the said box. The box is thus ready to receive the product, and from this point on it can be used in the same way as a conventional packaging box.
