Abstract

The disclosure relates to a shipping box for objects that makes it possible, as desired, to separate objects to be mailed inside the shipping box without having to turn to additional external separation means. For this purpose, the shipping box includes four side walls arranged at right angles with respect to each other, a bottom element and a lid, whereby the bottom element and the four side walls form an interior space and a first upper flap of a side wall forms the lid. The lid can be folded with respect to the extended side wall, so that the folded lid closes the shipping box. The bottom element includes nested lower flaps of the four side walls that can be folded along folding edges. A second, a third as well as a fourth upper flap of the side walls can be folded along additional folding edges with respect to the appertaining side wall, whereby the upper flaps can be folded in in such a way that the interior space of the shipping box is either not divided or else it is divided into two or four compartments by partition walls formed by the upper flaps.
