Description

BACKGROUND

1. Field

The disclosure relates to a package box assembly that includes a hanger.

2. Description of Related Art

Various products such as electronic devices may be packaged in a package box and then distributed. A package box may hang on a stall or exhibition stand located at a designated place for the purpose of selling or displaying an electronic device. In this case, the package box may include a loop-shaped hanger and may hang on a stall with the hanger to be displayed. In order to reduce material costs and distribution costs, it is necessary to reduce the loading space of multiple package boxes as much as possible during logistics movement and palletizing.

The above information is presented as background information only to assist with an understanding of the disclosure. No determination has been made, and no assertion is made, as to whether any of the above might be applicable as prior art with regard to the disclosure.

SUMMARY

In general, a package box may include a box body configured to package various products (e.g., electronic devices), and a hanger configured to hang the package box on a stall or exhibition stand for the purpose of displaying and selling. This hanger may include a hanging portion that may protrude outward from the package box.

However, during logistics movement and palletizing of these package boxes, unnecessary dead space may be generated due to hangers protruding from the box bodies, and due to this dead space, the number of package boxes accommodated per unit carton may decrease or the volume of the package boxes may increase, resulting in an increase in logistics costs or manufacturing costs. In addition, unlike the package boxes, the hangers are mainly made of a synthetic resin (e.g., plastic), which may go against eco-friendly conditions.

Aspects of the disclosure are to address at least the above-mentioned problems and/or disadvantages and to provide at least the advantages described below. Accordingly, an aspect of the disclosure is to provide a package box assembly including a hanger that is capable of helping reduce logistics costs and manufacturing costs by improving loading efficiency.

Another aspect of the disclosure is to provide a package box assembly including a hanger made of an eco-friendly material.

Additional aspects will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the presented embodiments.

In accordance with an aspect of the disclosure, a package box assembly is provided. The package box assembly includes a first box including an accommodation portion defined by a plate and a side wall disposed to surround the plate along the periphery of the plate and having a predetermined height, a second box at least partially accommodated in the accommodation portion, a hanger disposed in a first space in the accommodation portion to at least partially protrude through an opening provided in the side wall, an elastic member disposed in the first space to press the hanger toward the opening, and a sealing member removably disposed on the side wall to seal the opening. The hanger may be accommodated in the first space through the sealing member while being pushed by pressure from the elastic member, and in case that the sealing member is removed, the hanger may at least partially protrude to the outside of the first box through the opening by the pushing force of the elastic member.

With the package box according to an embodiment of the disclosure, since the hanger disposed to be pushed by the elastic member in at least a portion of the inner space is prevented from protruding through a detachable sealing member disposed outside, loading efficiency may be improved, manufacturing costs may be reduced, and since the hanger protrudes through removal of the sealing member when used, convenience of use may be improved.
