PACKAGING CONTAINER

PURPOSE: To eliminate cutting tapes for cost reduction in a packaging container with inner and outer double packages by making dotted cutting perforations for opening around the head of the inner and outer packages, and forming an auricular picking portion for cutting the head around the edge of each package. CONSTITUTION: Taking an example of this container in application to a cigarette container, an inner package 1, a middle package 2, and an outer package 3 of an angular tube with bottoms are used. In the inner package 1, dotted cutting perforations for opening are formed on three sides at a somewhat lower position from folding lines 6 of edge sides a-c in an upper part of it up to a tongue portion 4 which corresponds to a finishing tape of the middle package 2. In the outer package 3, similar perforations 9 are formed on three sides along the folding lines 8 of the edge sides w-y up to the tongue portion 4 of the middle package 2. In the middle package 2 a tongue portion 4 having a folding line 4a replacing a conventional finishing tape is integrally formed. And, the edge side a of the inner package 1 is folded along the folding lines 6, 16, and the edge sides c, d are outwardly protruded in an about triangular shape to become picking portions and function as seal opening parts.
