Dispenser box
Three types of cardboard packaging (without common proper names) with functions that go beyond the actual packaging can be described as dispenser boxes.
The simplest dispenser box is prepared by perforation or the like to be opened neatly and, usually with a remaining lower part, to store the goods in it until they are used or sold. To delimit the other designs of the dispenser box, these goods are loose and could also be transferred to other containers without major disadvantages. Typical representatives of this design are the dispenser boxes with medical disposable gloves .
Similarly, if often with significantly larger openings, sales packaging such as. B. for confectionery ( chocolate bars , chewing gum , etc.) or small items such as haberdashery, iron goods and the like. Some of these packagings have a spring system that pushes the remaining items in, but with most of them the goods are largely free to remove or allow the remaining items to slide through inclined or vertical installation.
A special version of dispenser boxes protect and carry wrapped goods in the broadest sense. Rolled up packing and gift tapes, plastic ropes, stamp rolls, rolled up thin cables and the like would quickly unintentionally unroll if used loose and become unusable in the long term. Such wound goods are expediently stored in a dimensionally accurate cardboard box. The tape is pulled out of a hole or slot in the box if necessary. Often the box is constructed in such a way that the tape roll is held in the middle with little friction, some have a practical tear-off aid or even small blades for cutting the tapes or cables.
This type of dispenser box also includes cosmetic tissue boxes, as the stack of interlocked cosmetic tissues behaves almost like fan-fold paper; the friction pulls the next one out of the opening when a paper is removed. Towards the end of the stack, the toothing is usually interrupted once in order to inform the user of the imminent consumption of the pack, similar to the red color marking on receipt rolls and the like. Ä.
Some dispenser boxes not only protect and carry the goods, but also prepare them for consumption. Typical representatives of this design are the dispenser boxes for self-adhesive photo corners and hole reinforcement rings . The self-adhesive stickers are made on a strip of waxed paper . The strip is pulled out of the box from under a flap and immediately led around the edge of the box. Since each sticker has little adhesion to the wax paper and is also comparatively stiff, it does not follow the wax paper for a large part of its own length around the cardboard edge. The sticker protruding from the dispenser box can be easily removed or even placed directly on the adhesive surface without the risk of soiling.
