Abstract
The peripheral wall of a box is formed as a band with abutting ends (12,13) at a joint (35), the abutting ends being secured together by means of a tongue (26) which is provided at one end of the band entering into a recess (30) provided at the other end of the band. Preferably, the tongue (26) is formed as an extension of a lateral marginal portion (24) of the band-forming material which is folded over the adjacent main portion (11) thereof, and the recess (30) being defined between the folded-over marginal portion (24) and the adjacent portion (11) at the opposite end (12) of the band. Preferably also end portions (16,17) of the band are folded inwardly at the joint (35).
