Description

The present invention relates to a packaging box, a packaging box assembly sheet, and a packaging method for packaging a packaging box, and to a packaging box used to package an item, a packaging box assembly sheet, and a packaging method for packaging a packaging box.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, packaging boxes for packaging items such as pharmaceutical preparations and pharmaceutical ampoules have been known that have a cushioning structure with a double structure (partition structure) to protect the packaged items from external impacts and vibrations.
In this situation, a packaging box has been proposed that is designed to smoothly accommodate packaged items even when the box has the above-mentioned cushioning structure (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The packaging box described in Patent Document 1 is a packaging box having a cushioning structure based on a double structure (partition structure).
Specifically, the packaging box includes a rectangular tubular box body, a lid that closes the opening of the box body, and a partition that divides the internal space of the box body and forms a gap between the partition and the wall of the box body. In order to make it easier to store the packaged item, the packaging box further includes a guide piece that can be bent from one end of the partition toward the lid.

JP 2021-4076 A

Incidentally, in a packaging box having a double structure (partition structure) as in Patent Document 1, there has been a demand for a packaging box that is capable of accommodating packaged items more smoothly than conventional packaging boxes.
In particular, in the case of packaging boxes for packaging pharmaceuticals, it is necessary to ensure a relatively large buffer space while keeping the box relatively small, or to provide a new buffer structure in accordance with the amendment of the Act on Ensuring Quality, Efficacy and Safety of Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, etc. (hereinafter referred to as the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act), which in principle abolishes the inclusion of package inserts (previously, the package insert also played a part of the buffer function). For these reasons, there has been a demand for pharmaceutical packaging boxes with a double structure that can more smoothly accommodate packaged items.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a packaging box having a cushioning structure with a double structure (partition structure) that can accommodate packaged items more smoothly than conventional packaging boxes, a packaging box assembly sheet, and a packaging method for a packaging box.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a packaging box for packaging pharmaceuticals, which is capable of storing packaged items more smoothly than conventional packaging boxes, a packaging box assembly sheet, and a packaging method for the packaging box.

The above problem is solved by the packaging box of the present invention, which is a packaging box used for packaging an item to be packaged, comprising a box body formed to be cylindrical, a lid formed to seal an opening of the box body, a partition formed to separate the internal space of the box body and form a gap between it and a wall portion of the box body, and a guide piece formed to extend from the lid or the opening of the box body toward the partition and to overlap one end of the partition.
With the above-described configuration, it is possible to realize a packaging box having a cushioning structure based on a double structure (partition structure) that can accommodate packaged items more smoothly than in the past.
More specifically, while conventional packaging boxes have a guide piece that can be bent from one end of the partition toward the lid to make it easier to insert the packaged item, the packaging box of the present invention has a guide piece that extends from the opening of the lid or the box body toward the partition. The guide piece is formed so as to overlap and go over one end of the partition. In other words, the guide piece extends along the insertion direction (insertion orientation) of the packaged item.
This makes it possible to store the packaged item more smoothly than in the past. For example, in a conventional packaging box, when inserting the packaged item into the box body, there is a risk that the packaged item may unintentionally come into contact with the tip of the guide piece. This is because the guide piece extends in the opposite direction to the insertion direction (insertion orientation) of the packaged item.

In this case, the packaging box is preferably a pharmaceutical packaging box used for packaging pharmaceuticals, and is formed from one blank sheet.
With the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to realize a packaging box for packaging pharmaceuticals that is capable of accommodating packaged items more smoothly than conventional packaging boxes.
Furthermore, by forming the box from a single blank sheet as described above, a packaging box that is suitable from the standpoint of manufacturability (mass production) can be realized.

In this case, the guide piece has a first extension portion that extends continuously from the lid toward the partition and extends so as to overlap the lid, and a second extension portion that extends continuously from the first extension portion, overcomes one end of the partition, and extends so as to overlap one end of the partition, and it is preferable that at least the second extension portion of the guide piece is movable relative to the lid or the box body and is able to abut against one end of the partition.
In addition, it is preferable that the first extension portion is adhered in a state of abutment against the lid, and the second extension portion is movable by being bent relative to the first extension portion, and is capable of abutting against one end of the partition so as to narrow the gap.
With the above-mentioned configuration, the packaging box can accommodate the packaged item more smoothly. That is, the guide piece can suitably guide the insertion of the packaged item.
In addition, as described above, the first extending portion (base end portion) of the guide piece is bonded and the second extending portion (tip end portion) of the guide piece is formed to be bendable, so that the guide piece is arranged compactly while still fulfilling its guide function. This results in a compact packaging box, and prevents the guide piece from interfering with the packaged item when, for example, removing the packaged item from the packaging box.

In this case, the partition has a partition main body that is supported by the box body and is formed to separate the internal space of the box body, forming the gap between itself and the wall portion of the box body, and a second guide piece that extends from one end of the partition main body on the lid side toward the guide piece and is capable of abutting against the guide piece, and it is preferable that the guide piece is capable of abutting against the second guide piece.
The above configuration results in a packaging box that can store packaged items more smoothly. In other words, the guide piece does not press the "partition body" of the partition that is supported by the box body, but presses the "second guide piece" that extends from the partition body and is not supported by the box body (independent from the box body). This allows the guide piece to press the partition in an appropriate manner to narrow the gap. As a result, the guide piece can more appropriately guide the insertion of the packaged item.

In this case, the guide piece has a first abutment surface that abuts against the packaged item when the packaged item is inserted into the packaging box through the opening of the box body, and a second abutment surface that is provided on the surface of the guide piece opposite to the first abutment surface and abuts against one end of the partition when the packaged item is inserted.
With the above configuration, when the packaged item is inserted through the opening of the box body, the packaged item is guided by the guide piece, and the guide piece is pressed against one end of the partition by the packaged item, narrowing the gap between the partition and the wall of the box body, allowing the packaged item to be inserted and stored.
In addition, by storing the packaged item in a state in which the guide piece is pressed against the partition by the packaged item, it is possible to make it easier to remove the packaged item from the packaging box. In other words, it is possible to prevent the guide piece from interfering with the removal of the packaged item from the packaging box.

The above problem is also solved by a packaging box assembly sheet that can be assembled into a packaging box, the packaging box assembly sheet including: a body forming section that forms a cylindrical box body; a lid forming section that extends continuously from one end of the body forming section and is folded against the body forming section to form a lid that closes the opening of the box body; a partition forming section that extends continuously from the body forming section and is folded against the body forming section to form a partition that divides the internal space of the box body and forms a gap between the wall of the box body; and a guide piece forming section that extends continuously from the lid forming section or the opening of the body forming section and is folded against the lid forming section or the body forming section to form a guide piece that is positioned to overlap over one end of the partition.

The above problem is also solved by a packaging method for packaging an item into a packaging box having a cylindrical box body, a lid that closes the opening of the box body, and a partition that divides the internal space of the box body and forms a gap between the lid and a wall of the box body, the method including storing the item into the packaging box from the opening of the box body toward the internal space of the box body and closing the opening of the box body with the lid, the method including abutting the item against a guide piece provided on the packaging box and pressing the guide piece against the partition by the item to store the item into the packaging box.

According to the packaging box, packaging box assembly sheet, and packaging method for a packaging box of the present invention, it is possible to store packaged items in a packaging box having a buffer structure (partition structure) more smoothly than before.
Furthermore, in a packaging box for packaging pharmaceuticals, it becomes possible to store the packaged items more smoothly than before.

FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a packaging box (before assembly) according to a second embodiment.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
This embodiment relates to an invention for a "packaging box" that is used for packaging an item to be packaged (a pharmaceutical product), and is mainly characterized by comprising a box body formed into a cylindrical shape, a lid formed to seal the opening of the box body, a partition formed to divide the internal space of the box body, and a guide piece that extends from the lid or the opening of the box body toward the partition and is formed to overlap one end of the partition.
The invention also relates to a "packaging box assembly sheet" and a "packaging method for packaging boxes."

<Packing box>
As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the packaging box 1 of this embodiment is used for packaging the packaged item, a pharmaceutical product 2, and consists of a roughly rectangular box (pharmaceutical packaging box) for storing the pharmaceutical product 2, and is formed from a single blank sheet.
Specifically, the packaging box 1 is formed into the shape shown in FIG. 3 by folding and assembling a packaging box assembly sheet 100 shown in FIG. 5 which is formed by punching out a blank sheet.
More specifically, the "packaging box 1" is formed by assembling a "packaging box assembly sheet 100" shown in FIG. 5 to form a "primary assembly of the packaging box" shown in FIG. 1, and then assembling the primary assembly of the packaging box to form the shape shown in FIG. 3.
The "primary assembly of the packaging box" shown in FIG. 1 will also be referred to as a "packaging box before assembly (before assembly is completed)."

The "packaging box 1" includes the "packaging box after assembly (after assembly is completed)" shown in FIG. 3 as well as the "packaging box before assembly (before assembly is completed)" shown in FIG.
The "packaging box before assembly" shown in FIG. 1 can be folded into a substantially flat shape as a primary assembly of the packaging box for transportation or storage, and a user (e.g., a pharmaceutical manufacturer or seller) can perform final assembly to complete the packaging box shown in FIG. 3.

The pharmaceutical product 2 is, for example, a solid preparation such as a tablet, a capsule, an orally disintegrating tablet, a tablet with a score, etc., stored in a PTP package, and then, as shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of PTP packages are stored in pillow packaging, and the pharmaceutical product 2 is packaged in a packaging box 1.
The packaged items stored in the packaging box 1 are not particularly limited to solid preparations and may be changed, for example, medicines stored in sealed containers such as ampoules or vials, or medicines such as ointments contained in containers such as tubes. In addition, multiple PTP packages may be bundled and stored in a manner other than pillow packaging.
In accordance with the amendment to the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act, which in principle abolishes the inclusion of package inserts, the drug 2 (pillow package containing a solid formulation) will not be packaged with a package insert. However, the drug 2 may be packaged with the package insert as in the past.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the packaging box 1 is a packaging box with a double structure (partition structure) and includes a box body 10 formed into a cylindrical shape, a pair of lids 20 extending continuously from both ends of the box body 10 in the longitudinal direction and formed to close the opening of the box body 10 by folding boundary lines 14, 15 (fold lines) with the box body 10, and a partition 30 extending from the box body 10 and formed to partition the internal space of the box body 10, forming a gap S between itself and the wall of the box body 10.
In addition, the packaging box 1 further includes a guide piece 40 which extends from the extended end of the lid 20 toward the partition 30, is formed to overlap and overcome one end of the partition 30, and is capable of abutting against the one end of the partition 30 to narrow the gap S.
In addition, cut lines 50, 60 for forming an opening for the packaging box 1 are formed on the boundary lines 14, 15 between the box body 10 and the lid 20.
In addition, the side wall portion 11 of the box body 10 may be formed with a display portion (not shown) for displaying information about the pharmaceutical product 2 and a cutting line (not shown) for cutting the display portion from the box body 10.

In the packaging box 1, the lid 20 can be easily opened by pressing a finger along the cut lines 50, 60 for opening to form an opening, and the medicine 2 can be taken out from the opened lid 20 side or the box can be disassembled.
1 , the cut lines 50, 60 may be formed in a wall portion of the box body 10 different from the guide piece 40. Specifically, the cut lines 50, 60 may be formed in the upper wall portion 12 of the box body 10, and the guide piece 40 may be provided in the bottom wall portion 13 of the box body 10.
This allows the lid 20 to be easily opened and the packaging box 1 to be easily disassembled.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the box body 10 is a hollow rectangular (square tube) and is mainly composed of a pair of side walls 11 arranged facing each other with a specified gap between them, an upper wall 12 connecting the upper ends of the pair of side walls 11, and a bottom wall 13 connecting the lower ends of the pair of side walls 11.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the lid 20 is provided at one end in the longitudinal direction of the box body 10, and includes a dismantling lid 20A that is opened to dismantle the packaging box 1, and a removal lid 20B that is opened to remove the medicine 2 from the packaging box 1.
The dismantling lid 20A has an outer flap 21 and an inner flap 22 which extend continuously from one end of each of the upper wall portion 12 and the bottom wall portion 13 and are formed so that the boundary line 14 with the box body 10 can be folded, and a pair of side flaps 23 which extend continuously from one end of each of the pair of side wall portions 11 and are formed so that the boundary line 14 with the box body 10 can be folded.
Similarly, the removal lid 20B has an outer flap 21 and a pair of side flaps 23.
A guide piece 40 is formed at the extending end of the inner flap 22 of the disassembly lid 20A.

In the above configuration, when assembling the packaging box 1, the medicine 2 is stored inside the box body 10 in the pre-assembly state shown in Fig. 1, and then the pair of side flaps 23, the inner flap 22, and the outer flap 21 are folded in that order. Then, the outer flap 21 and the inner flap 22 are adhered together, or the tip of the outer flap 21 is folded and pushed inward, to complete the shape shown in Fig. 3.
In addition, the surface of the upper wall portion 12 of the box body 10 may be printed with characters (not shown) to clearly indicate the side (the dismantling lid 20A side) on which the medicines 2 are stored. In addition, the surface of the upper wall portion 12 may be printed with characters (not shown) to clearly indicate the difference between the dismantling lid 20A and the removal lid 20B.

1, 2 and 4A, the partition 30 forms a gap S between itself and the wall of the box body 10 in order to provide a cushioning structure for the packaging box 1. More specifically, the partition 30 forms a gap S between itself and each of the top wall 12 and the bottom wall 13 of the box body 10.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 , the partition 30 extends continuously from one end 13a in the width direction of the box body 10 (bottom wall portion 13), and extends in a circumferential manner along the inner wall of the box body 10 when viewed from the front of the box body 10, forming two partition portions, one above the other, while being supported by the box body 10.

More specifically, the partition 30 has a partition main body 31 that is supported by the box body 10 and is formed to divide the internal space of the box body 10, and a second guide piece 32 that extends from one end of the partition main body 31 on the lid 20 side toward the guide piece 40 and is capable of abutting against the guide piece 40.
The partition main body 31 has a first extension portion 31a that is foldably connected to one end 13a of the box body 10 (bottom wall portion 13) and is glued to the side wall portion 11, a second extension portion 31b that is foldably connected to one end of the first extension portion 31a and faces the top wall portion 12, a third extension portion 31c that is foldably connected to one end of the second extension portion 31b and is glued to the side wall portion 11, a fourth extension portion 31d that is foldably connected to one end of the third extension portion 31c and faces the bottom wall portion 13, and a fifth extension portion 31e that is foldably connected to one end of the fourth extension portion 31d and is glued to the side wall portion 11.
The second extending portion 31b serves as the partition 30A, and the fourth extending portion 31d serves as the partition 30B. The first extending portion 31a and the fifth extending portion 31e are arranged so as to overlap each other.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4A, the second guide piece 32 is provided at one end in the longitudinal direction of the partition body 31 (fourth extension portion 31d), and extends so as to become narrower with increasing distance from the partition body 31.
This allows the medicine 2 to be inserted more smoothly into the packaging box 1. In more detail, if the width does not narrow with increasing distance from the partition body 31, the medicine 2 may come into contact with the left and right ends of the fourth extension portion 31d of the partition body 31 when inserting the medicine 2. The second guide piece 32 extends from one end of the partition body 31 while inclining in a tapered manner so as to narrow, and is formed so as not to protrude (overhang) outward from the box body 10.
On the other hand, if the width becomes narrower with increasing distance from the partition body 31, the distance between the left and right ends of the fourth extension portion 31d and the medicine 2 becomes larger, so that the medicine 2 can be inserted relatively easily.
The second guide piece 32 is not supported by the box body 10 like the partition main body 31, but is formed independently from the box body 10, and is a part that is more flexible (bendable) than the partition main body 31.

As shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 5, the third extending portion 31c of the partition 30 has an end portion on the second guide piece 32 side, which is formed with a notch 33 cut out in a substantially triangular shape.
The cutout portion 33 is formed so as to become narrower toward the center of the box body 10 in the longitudinal direction of the box body 10 .
This allows the medicine 2 to be inserted more smoothly into the packaging box 1. In more detail, if there is no cutout 33, the medicine 2 will make line contact with the end of the third extension 31c of the partition 30 when being inserted. On the other hand, if there is the cutout 33, even if the medicine 2 makes contact with the end of the third extension 31c, it will make point contact, so that the medicine can be inserted relatively easily.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 5, the partition 30 has a notch 34 cut out in a substantially semi-elliptical shape at the other end opposite the second guide piece 32 side.
The cutout portion 34 is disposed at a position on the box body 10 corresponding to the cut line 50 on the side of the removal lid 20B.
This can prevent the user's fingers from hitting the partition 30 when removing the medicine 2 from the packaging box 1.

1, 2, and 4A, the guide piece 40 is a contact piece (pressing piece) for smoothly storing the medicine 2. More specifically, when the medicine 2 is inserted into the packaging box 1, the contact piece is pressed against the medicine 2, thereby pressing the partition 30 (second guide piece 32), making it easier to insert the medicine 2.
The guide piece 40 is folded back from the extending end of the lid 20 and extends continuously toward the partition 30. Specifically, the guide piece 40 has a first extending portion 41 extending so as to overlap the lid 20, and a second extending portion 42 extending continuously from the first extending portion 41, climbing over one end of the partition 30 (the second guide piece 32), and extending so as to overlap the second guide piece 32.

The first extension portion 41 is formed to be narrower than the lid 20 (the inner flap 22) and is adhered in contact with the lid 20. The extension end portion of the first extension portion 41 is disposed at a position corresponding to the boundary line between the box body 10 and the lid 20.
The second extending portion 42 is movable by being bent relative to the first extending portion 41, and is capable of abutting against one end (second guide piece 32) of the partition 30. In other words, the second extending portion 42 is movable relative to the lid 20, and is capable of abutting against one end of the partition 30 so as to narrow the gap S.
The extending end of the second extending portion 42 is disposed at a position corresponding to the boundary line between the partition body 31 and the second guide piece 32 .
The above-described configuration provides the packaging box 1 that can smoothly accommodate the medicine 2. That is, the guide pieces 40 can suitably guide the insertion of the medicine 2.

The guide piece 40 also has a first abutment surface 40a that abuts against the medicine 2 when the medicine 2 is inserted into the packaging box 1 through the opening of the box body 10, and a second abutment surface 40b that is provided on the surface opposite to the first abutment surface 40a and abuts against one end of the partition 30 when the medicine 2 is inserted.
In this way, the medicine 2 is guided by the guide piece 40, and the guide piece 40 is pressed against one end of the partition 30 by the medicine 2, thereby narrowing the gap S between the partition 30 and the wall of the box body 10, allowing the medicine 2 to be inserted and stored.

As shown in Figs. 2 and 5, the tip of the guide piece 40 (second extending portion 42) is formed with left and right chamfered portions 43 formed by chamfering the corners of the tip.
This makes it possible to prevent the medicine 2 from getting caught on the corners of the tip of the guide piece 40 when inserting the medicine 2 into the packaging box 1 or removing the medicine 2 from the packaging box 1.

<Storage of packaged items using guide pieces>
Next, the procedure for packaging the medicine 2 in the packaging box 1 will be described with reference to Figs. 4A to 4C.
First, as shown in FIG. 4A, the medicine 2 (pillow package) is placed facing the opening of the packaging box 1 before assembly.
At this time, the guide piece 40 is folded back from one end of the lid 20 and extends along the inner surface of the lid 20, with the extended end of the guide piece 40 protruding from the lid 20. In addition, the extended end of the guide piece 40 overlaps one end of the partition 30 (second guide piece 32) and is capable of abutting against it.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4B, the medicine 2 is inserted through the opening of the packaging box 1.
As the drug 2 is inserted, the drug 2 comes into contact with the guide piece 40 (first contact surface 40a), and the guide piece 40 (second contact surface 40b) is pressed against the partition 30 (second guide piece 32).
In other words, the guide piece 40 functions as a guide piece, and the medicine 2 can be inserted so as to narrow the gap S between the partition 30 and the wall portion of the box body 10 by the guide piece 40 .
In other words, while the partition 30 creates a step inside the packaging box 1, the guide piece 40 acts like a slide, eliminating (reducing) the step, making it easier to insert the medicine 2.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4C, the medicine 2 is placed inside the packaging box 1.
When the medicine 2 is contained, the medicine 2 remains in contact with the guide piece 40 , and the guide piece 40 remains in a state of pressing one end of the partition 30 .
This allows the medicine 2 to be smoothly removed from the packaging box 1. In other words, it is possible to prevent the guide piece 40 from unintentionally interfering with the medicine 2 when the medicine 2 is removed from the packaging box 1.

<Packing box assembly sheet>
Next, the packaging box assembling sheet 100 (box assembling sheet) will be described with reference to FIG.
The box assembly sheet 100 is formed by punching out a blank sheet, and is a sheet that can be assembled into the shape of the packaging box 1.

Specifically, the box assembly sheet 100 includes a body forming section 110 that forms a cylindrical box body 10, a lid forming section 120 that extends continuously from one longitudinal end of the body forming section 110 and is folded against the body forming section 110 to form a lid 20 that closes the opening of the box body 10, and a partition forming section 130 that extends continuously from one widthwise end of the body forming section 110 and is folded against the body forming section 110 to form a partition 30 that divides the internal space of the box body 10 and forms a gap between the wall of the box body 10 and the partition forming section 130.
In addition, the box assembly sheet 100 further includes a guide piece forming portion 140 which extends continuously from the extended end of the lid forming portion 120 and is folded relative to the lid forming portion 120 to overlap and overcome one end of the partition 30, forming a guide piece 40 which can abut against one end of the partition 30 to narrow the gap.
In addition, in the box assembling sheet 100, incision lines 150, 160 for forming an opening for the packaging box 1 are formed at the boundary between the body forming portion 110 and the lid forming portion 120. The shaded area shown in Fig. 5 is an adhesive portion 170 (adhesive portion) to which adhesive (adhesive material) is applied.

As described above, the body forming section 110, the lid forming section 120, the partition forming section 130, and the guide piece forming section 140 of the box assembling sheet 100 correspond to the box body 10, the lid 20, the partition 30, and the guide piece 40 of the packaging box 1, respectively.
Although detailed description is omitted, the partition forming portion 130 naturally has a partition main body forming portion and a second guide piece forming portion, and the guide piece forming portion 140 has a first extension portion forming portion and a second extension portion forming portion.

By folding and assembling the box assembly sheet 100, the packaging box 1 can be manufactured through the primary assembly of the packaging box.

<How to pack into a packaging box>
Next, a method for packaging the medicine 2 into the packaging box 1 will be described.
The method includes at least a "first step" of placing the medicine 2 from an opening of the box body 10 toward the internal space of the box body 10, and a "second step" of sealing the opening of the box body 10 with a lid 20. The method will be described in detail below.
In addition, explanations of the details other than those mentioned above regarding packaging the medicine 2 using the packaging box 1 will be omitted.

In the "first step", first, as shown in FIG. 4A, a worker places a medicine 2 (pillow package) facing the opening of a packaging box 1 before assembly (step 1-1).
At this time, the extending end of the guide piece 40 overlaps one end (second guide piece 32) of the partition 30 and is capable of abutting thereon.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4B, a worker inserts the medicine 2 through the opening of the packaging box 1 (step 1-2).
More specifically, the worker presses the guide piece 40 against one end of the partition 30 using the medicine 2 to narrow the gap S between the partition 30 and the wall of the box body 10, thereby storing the medicine 2.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4C, a worker places the medicine 2 inside the packaging box 1 (step 1-3).
When the medicine 2 is contained, the medicine 2 remains in contact with the guide piece 40 , and the guide piece 40 remains in a state of pressing one end of the partition 30 .

In the “second step”, a worker closes the opening of the box body 10 with the lid 20 .
At this time, the first extending portion 41 of the guide piece 40 is adhered to the inner surface of the lid 20. The second extending portion 42 is held so as to be pressed against the partition 30 while being in contact with the medicine 2.
Therefore, by closing the lid 20, the worker can push the guide piece 40 together with the lid 20 into the inside of the box body 10. In other words, the worker can close the opening of the box body 10 without worrying about the guide piece 40.

After the assembly of the packaging box 1 is completed, the guide piece 40 functions as a part of the buffer structure.
Specifically, the first extending portion 41 supports the medicine 2 from the side, and the second extending portion 42 supports the medicine 2 from below. In other words, a triple cushioning structure can be formed by the outer flap 21 of the lid 20, the inner flap 22, and the first extending portion 41. Also, a triple cushioning structure can be formed by the wall of the box body 10, the partition 30, and the first extending portion 41.

The above method makes it possible to realize a packaging method for packaging pharmaceuticals into packaging boxes that can be stored more smoothly than before.

<Second embodiment of packaging box>
Next, a second embodiment of the packaging box 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
Incidentally, description of the contents overlapping with the packing box 1 of the above-mentioned first embodiment will be omitted.

The packaging box 1 of the second embodiment differs from the packaging box 1 of the first embodiment mainly in the shape and arrangement of the guide pieces 40.
6, the guide piece 40 extends from one end (opening) in the longitudinal direction of the box body 10 (bottom wall portion 13) toward the partition 30 and is formed so as to overlap and climb over one end of the partition 30. The guide piece 40 is capable of abutting against the one end of the partition 30 so as to narrow the gap S.

Even with the above configuration, pharmaceuticals (packaged items) can be stored more smoothly than ever before in a packaging box with a cushioning structure (partition structure).

<Other embodiments>
In the above embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3, the packaging box 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped box, but this is not particularly limited and can be changed, and may be, for example, a substantially cylindrical shape or a substantially triangular prism shape (substantially polygonal shape), etc. In other words, the box body 10 may be a cylindrical shape (hollow circular shape) or other cylindrical shape (hollow shape) instead of a square tube shape (hollow rectangular shape).
In addition, in the packaging box 1, the lids 20 are provided on both ends of the box body 10, but this is not particularly limited, and the lid 20 may be provided only on one end of the box body 10.

In the above embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the packaging box 1 is described as a packaging box having a double structure, but it may be a packaging box having a triple or more layer structure. In other words, the packaging box 1 may be a packaging box having a multi-layer structure.
In addition, when the packaging box 1 is a packaging box having a triple structure, it is preferable that the guide piece 40 is formed so as to overlap one end of the partition 30 located at the most central side (innermost) in the internal space of the box body 10. In this way, the guide piece 40 can press the two overlapping partitions 30 together. This makes it possible to smoothly accommodate the packaged items.

In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a medicine 2 is contained as the packaged item, but the packaged item is not limited to a medicine and can be changed.
For example, solid foods, various ornaments, various daily necessities such as batteries, various devices, etc. may be contained as packaged items.

In the above embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 5, the partition 30 extends from one end of the box body 10 in the width direction, but this is not particularly limited and may extend from any position on the box body 10.
For example, when the box body 10 is not formed from a single blank sheet, a plurality of partitions 30 may be provided at any position on the box body 10 .

In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the partition 30 is arranged so as to form a gap S at a position corresponding to the upper wall portion 12 and the bottom wall portion 13 of the box body 10, but this is not particularly limited.
For example, the partition 30 may be positioned only at a position corresponding to the bottom wall portion 13 of the box body 10, or may be positioned at positions corresponding to each of the left and right side wall portions 11, the upper wall portion 12, and the bottom wall portion 13 of the box body 10.

In the above embodiment, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, one guide piece 40 is disposed at a position corresponding to the bottom wall portion 13 of the box body 10, but this is not particularly limited.
For example, the guide piece 40 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the top wall portion 12 and the bottom wall portion 13 of the box body 10. That is, a plurality of guide pieces may be disposed.

In the above embodiment, as shown in Figures 4A to 4C, when the medicine 2 is stored, the medicine 2 abuts against the guide piece 40, and the guide piece 40 abuts against the partition 30, but this is not particularly limited.
For example, when the medicine 2 is stored, it is not necessary for the medicine 2 to abut against the guide piece 40. Even in such a case, the guide piece 40 extends from the lid 20 toward the partition 30, so that the guide piece 40 can perform the guide function.
Further, for example, the guide piece 40 does not necessarily have to abut against the partition 30 when the medicine 2 is contained. Even in this case, the guide piece 40 can perform the guide function.

In the present embodiment, the packaging box, the packaging box assembling sheet, and the packaging method for the packaging box according to the present invention have been mainly described.
However, the above embodiment is merely an example for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention can be modified or improved without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the present invention naturally includes equivalents thereof.
