Abstract

A folding box with integrated folding booklet. The folding booklet has side walls connected to one another at longitudinal edges via respective first longitudinal fold lines, an upper closure which covers an upper opening delimited by respective upper edges of the side walls, a lower closure which covers a lower opening delimited by respective lower edges of the side walls, and a folding booklet comprising a plurality of sheets which are connected to one another via respective second longitudinal fold lines. The multiple sheets comprise an outer sheet foldably connected to an upper edge of one of the side walls. The folding booklet is folded against an interior surface of the one of the side walls. The remaining sheets of the folding booklet are arranged between the outer sheet and the side wall.
