Abstract

The invention relates to a relockable, rectangular-shaped folding box with four side panels, a bottom closure formed by two bottom closing flaps and two dust flaps, a closure formed by one closing flap and two dust flaps, a two-layered hanger formed by gluing together two hanging tabs, each tab containing one hanging arrangement, with the first hanging tab being pivotally joined to the top of one of the side panels and the other hanging tab connecting to this first hanging tab, with an insertion tab being laterally hinged to a side panel, and one of the side panels containing a zone that is to be removed along a perforation, with the insertion tab being glued outside or inside to the perforated zone. The folding box is glued, protected against dust, originally closed, and relockable; it is easy to handle and variable in its realization. A processing without problems is possible. Furthermore, the folding box is environmentally protective, and produced from a folding blank with the use of a smallest amount of material.
