Abstract

A wraparound case comprises: a case main body including a top face panel and a bottom face panel that face each other, a front face panel and a back face panel that face each other, a pair of side face panels that face each other, and an insertion flap that extends out from the top face panel and overlaps with the front face panel; a hinge section that is formed between the top face panel and the back face panel; a slit that is formed along a ridgeline between the top face panel and each of the pair of side face panels; and tear sections that couple a front face panel side and a back face panel side of the top face panel with the pair of side face panels, and that are torn when the top face panel is opened.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wraparound case comprising:
a case main body including a top face panel and a bottom face panel that face each other, a front face panel and a back face panel that face each other, a pair of side face panels that face each other, and an insertion flap that extends out from the top face panel and overlaps with the front face panel;
a hinge section that is formed between the top face panel and the back face panel;
a slit that is formed along a ridgeline between the top face panel and each of the pair of side face panels; and
tear sections that couple a front face panel side and a back face panel side of the top face panel with the pair of side face panels, and that are torn when the top face panel is opened,
wherein a cutout portion is formed at an upper end portion of the front face panel, at a position offset toward one end side or another end side with respect to a center in a facing direction of the side face panels.

2. The wraparound case of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the tear sections are respectively formed at the front face panel side and the back face panel side between the top face panel and the pair of side face panels.

3. The wraparound case of claim 1 , wherein the insertion flap overlaps with an inner face side of the front face panel.

4. The wraparound case of claim 3 , wherein the cutout portion exposes part of the insertion flap.

5. The wraparound case of claim 4 , wherein:
a part of the insertion flap that is exposed through the cutout portion is a short portion formed with a shorter extension length from the top face panel than another portion of the insertion flap; and
a spacing is formed between a lower end of the short portion and a lower end of the cutout portion.

6. The wraparound case of claim 1 , wherein the cutout portion is formed in a circular arc shape.

7. The wraparound case of claim 1 , wherein:
inner panels are respectively disposed at facing direction inner sides of the pair of side face panels; and
an upper end portion at a front face panel side of at least one of the inner panels is a sloped portion that slopes downward on progression from the front face panel side toward a back face panel side.

8. The wraparound case of claim 1 , wherein a length of the slit is 80% of a length of the ridgeline, or greater.
