Abstract

A folded cardboard box has four longitudinal walls and a separation wall dividing the box's interior into first and second sections. The separation wall has a through-hole and a flap element at an open end of the first section. The flap element has a first flap portion at one of the longitudinal walls and a second flap portion at an adjoining longitudinal wall. The flap element can be flapped from a first state in which each of the first and second flap portions are aligned with the respective wall into a second state in which the flap element projects into the first section. A longitudinally extending wall portion, provided at one of the longitudinal walls at the open end of the first section, is connected, at its rear end, to the longitudinal wall at which it is provided by means of a seam line allowing bending of the wall from a first state in which it extends in longitudinal direction into a second state in which the wall projects from the longitudinal wall at which it is provided at about a right angle into the first section, so that the flap element, when in its second state, keeps the wall portion in its second state.
