Abstract
Abstract A collective packing box according to the present invention is separable into individual packing boxes in which individual goods are respectively accommodated. The collective packing box includes a group of tubular unit packing box bodies in combination with a cover. Each of the tubular unit packing box bodies has a plurality of sides defining two opposite parallel outer surfaces. The cover includes a plurality of demarcating sections which are separable from one another. Each of the demarcating sections defines a connecting portion at the center thereof, covering portions disposed on opposite sides of the connecting portion, and marginal portions disposed to the outside of the covering portions. The connecting portions are fixed to the group of tubular unit packing box bodies over one of the two opposite parallel outer surfaces. One of the covering portions is folded over respective one ends of the tubular unit packing box bodies and a marginal portion associated therewith is adhered over the other of the two opposite parallel outer surfaces. Once goods are accommodated within the group of tubular unit packing box bodies, the other connecting portions are disposed over the respective other ends of the tubular unit packing box bodies and the marginal portions associated therewith are also adhered over the other of the two opposite parallel outer surfaces. In this way, when the demarcating sections of the cover are separated, a plurality of individual boxes are formed in which the goods are accommodated.
