Folding box for receiving rounded objects, folding carton blank for a folding box and method for forming the folding box

摘要

The invention relates to a folding box blank (10) for receiving at least one rounded body, in particular fruit and / or vegetables, preferably for receiving a plurality of apples. The folding box blank (10) can be folded into a folding box, which preferably has a rectangular cross section transversely to its longitudinal axis (18). The folding box blank (10) has a cover part (12), in which at least one first ceiling recess (26a) is formed. The first ceiling recess (26a) is preferably bounded by side recesses (30a, 30b) in side parts (14a, 14b) connected to the ceiling part (12) and the edges of two retaining tabs (28a, 28b). The first ceiling recess (26a) is preferably bounded by a circumferential cut edge. The retaining tabs (28a, 28b) are preferably connected via foldable corners (36a-36d) to the cover part (12) and in each case one side part (14a, 14b) to exert a contact pressure on the rounded body. The retaining tabs (28a, 28b) preferably have at their ends locking tabs (32a, 32b), so that the retaining tabs (28a, 28b) can adapt to the shape of the rounded body.
