Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to display packaging, and more particularly, to a packaging box having functions of packaging and storing a product, a function of hanging a packaging box, and a function of visually displaying the enclosed product while the product is packaged within the box.


BACKGROUND

In general, display packaging is known in the art. While some display packaging show the contents of the packages, these are usually plastic packages with unusual shapes that are difficult to stack and can be difficult to disassemble for recycling.


While some box-type packages have windows to display a product therein, the windows are typically limited in view, and potential purchasers cannot see and inspect the entire contents of a package. This results in consumers frequently opening packages prior to purchase, resulting in lost revenue for producers. Windowed box-type packaging is also frequently aesthetically unappealing.


Therefore, it is an object of the present disclosure to provide a packaging box that allows full view of a product contained therein. A further object is to provide a packaging box that provides an aesthetically pleasing design. Yet another object is to provide a display packaging box that can be inexpensively manufactured, assembled, and recycled after purchase. These and other objects of the disclosure are more fully described in the appended description and drawings.
