Abstract

The present invention comprises a process for manufacturing a single piece multi-purpose box from a board blank and a wrap. The process includes a method and machine for score setting the spine of said single-piece box so that the wrap does not separate from the board blank after continued opening and closings of the box. Moreover, the present invention teaches a method of closing said boxes in-line in an upright position which results in ready counting and packing of said boxes.
