Abstract

The present invention relates to a packaging box including: a main body having at least an upper surface and an inner space; and a handle disposed on the upper surface of the main body, wherein the upper surface is disposed to be dented inwardly so as to be apart from the handle. The packaging box has the folding line formed on the upper surface so as to make the upper surface dented inwardly by the user's pressing and make the upper surface and the handle spaced apart from each other such that the user can easily insert his or her finger therebetween, thereby remarkably improving user convenience. The packaging box sufficiently shields the inner space from the outside because the upper surface maintains sealing force when the upper surface is dented in order to form the finger insertion space, thereby effectively preventing the inflow of contaminants so as to maximize user satisfaction.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A packaging box comprising:
a main body having at least an upper surface and an inner space; and
a handle having a band form and installed on at least the upper surface of the main body, wherein the upper surface comprises;
a pair of foldable parts, each foldable part being separate from the handle, and each foldable part being separated from the other by a centerline traversing a center of the upper surface, the folding parts respectively comprising folding lines; and
a connection part connecting the pair of foldable parts to each other and overlapping with the pair of foldable parts by surface-contacting lower surfaces of the pair of foldable parts;
wherein, as the pair of foldable parts are dented by folding along the folding lines and the connection part stays overlapped with the pair of foldable parts while the upper surface is dented inwardly, the pair of foldable parts are dented inwardly without separating from each other and thus an opening is not created at the pair of foldable parts, and thereby the upper surface is set apart from the handle, and a finger insertion space is formed between the upper surface and the handle, and
wherein the folding lines on each of the pair of foldable parts comprises at least a bilaterally symmetric pair of folding lines extending to a middle part of the upper surface from positions adjacent to each corner of the upper surface, and wherein each foldable part is disposed to be folded from an outer part of the upper surface to the centerline traversing the center of the upper surface.

2. The packaging box according to claim 1 , wherein the main body comprises:
a side surface extending downwardly from the upper surface; and
a lower surface disposed at the bottom of the side surface.
