Reclosable folding box with a tamper-evident closure, and folding box blank for producing same
Abstract:
In a reclosable folding box (41, 42, 43) having a safety and tamper-evident closure (84), the side wall surfaces (2 to 6, 64, 65) of which are formed by a one-piece blank (1, 1a, 1b) and glued together in such a way that the folding box (41, 42, 43) cannot be opened without destroying a glued joint and/or at least one disconnectable tear line area (16, 17, 16a, 16b, 17a, 17b), a solution for a reclosable medical packaging having a safety and tamper-evident closure is to be created, which provides an improved graspability and visual recognizability of a pull tab forming at least the substantial part of the safety and tamper-evident closure. This is achieved by the fact that the pull tab (18) reaches a folding box edge (39, 52) with an edge-side boundary line (85) and is printed on a folding box outer side with a first linear pattern (20), in particular a guilloche pattern, extending at least in part with at least one pattern line beyond the tear line area(s) (16, 17, 16a, 16b, 17a, 17b), which first linear pattern (20) adjoins an area (21, 22) visible from the folding box outer side and printed in contrast color with respect to the first linear pattern (20), which is formed in a way to encompass, at least to include the pull tab (18), in the area of an edge-side limiting edge (86) of the pull tab (18) on the outer side on a first side wall surface (2), or which is formed in the area of the boundary line (85) at least on a surface area of a second side wall surface (3) facing the folding box outer side and covered by the pull tab (18), as well on the outer side of a third side wall surface (4) hinged to the second side wall surface (3) and adjoining the pull tab (18), in a way to graduate into the same.
