MEMORIA DESCRIPTIVA Caja o empaque con compartimiento estanco para el transporte y exhibición de flores en agua DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY Box or packaging with waterproof compartment for the transport and display of flowers in water
Campo de InvenciónInvention Field
La presente invención constructiva funcional se refiere a la fabricación de empaques en un solo cuerpo final, que servirán para el transporte y la exhibición de flor cortada, follaje o plantas vivas, con o sin agua, siendo éstas empacadas en forma vertical. Con un solo cuerpo se quiere decir que la caja es uniforme y está compuesta por un único tipo de material impermeable, tal como copolímero de polipropileno y pigmentos o cualquier otro, pudiéndose unir las piezas que la conforman con grapas o mediante cortes y pliegues, y que cuenta con un innovador compartimiento estanco, que en conjunto con su sistema de precorte, da como resultado un recipiente donde se puede transportar y exhibir la flor hidratada.The present functional constructive invention relates to the manufacture of packages in a single final body, which will serve for the transport and display of cut flowers, foliage or live plants, with or without water, these being packed vertically. With a single body it is meant that the box is uniform and is composed of a single type of waterproof material, such as copolymer of polypropylene and pigments or any other, being able to join the pieces that make it with staples or through cuts and folds, and It has an innovative waterproof compartment, which together with its pre-cut system, results in a container where the hydrated flower can be transported and displayed.
AntecedentesBackground
Los empaques utilizados actualmente para el transporte de flor con agua o hidratada sirven para trasladar la flor de un lugar a otro, y para exhibir la flor en los puntos de venta final; por ejemplo, la flor hidratada y cortada es transportada desde el productor pasando por toda la cadena de distribución hasta el punto de venta, donde la flor se podría incluso exhibir en el mismo empaque en el que ha sido transportada.The packages currently used for the transport of flower with water or hydrated serve to move the flower from one place to another, and to display the flower at the final points of sale; For example, the hydrated and cut flower is transported from the producer through the entire distribution chain to the point of sale, where the flower could even be displayed in the same packaging in which it has been transported.
El objetivo antes mencionado se ha alcanzado hasta ahora utilizándose empaques combinados de varios materiales de distinto tipo para poder lograr la estanqueidad, y con ello hacer viable el transporte en agua.The aforementioned objective has been achieved so far using combined packages of various materials of different types in order to achieve tightness, and thereby make water transport viable.
Esta tecnología anterior se refleja en invenciones protegidas por patentes concedidas en los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica, que se detallan a continuación: • Patente US 3,127,011: se relaciona a un contenedor cilindrico para almacenamiento y transporte de flores cortadas (una unidad), y más particularmente a un contenedor que protege flores de tallo largo, en agua, para exhibición.This prior technology is reflected in inventions protected by patents granted in the United States of America, which are detailed below: • US Patent 3,127,011: it relates to a cylindrical container for storage and transport of cut flowers (one unit), and more particularly to a container that protects long-stemmed flowers, in water, for display.
• Patente US 3,973,356: se relaciona a un empaque que provee un envoltorio protector para distribución y exhibición de flores. Empaque conformado por dos piezas: en la pieza inferior se coloca el agua, y la pieza superior sirve para proteger la flor. El arnés es necesario para mantener unidas las dos piezas.• US Patent 3,973,356: it relates to a package that provides a protective wrapping for distribution and display of flowers. Packaging consisting of two pieces: water is placed in the lower part, and the upper part serves to protect the flower. The harness is necessary to hold the two pieces together.
• Patente US 5,060,799: se relaciona a un empaque para flores compuesto de un balde plástico, una extensión de cartón encerado que se coloca sobre el balde y una tapa plástica que se coloca sobre la extensión.

Esta es la alternativa que más se utiliza actualmente para el transporte de flor hidratada.• US Patent 5,060,799: it relates to a flower package composed of a plastic bucket, an extension of waxed cardboard that is placed on the bucket and a plastic lid that is placed over the extension. It allows the transportation of hydrated flower, packed vertically and by removing the extension the flower can be displayed in the same bucket. This is the alternative that is currently used most to transport hydrated flowers.
En general, las soluciones constructivas que se ofrecen en el mercado responden a combinaciones equivalentes entre partes, que encastran unas con otras, uniendo las piezas por medios mecánicos, como por ejemplo piezas que presionan unas contra otras o requieren de pasadores para mantenerlas unidas.In general, the constructive solutions offered in the market respond to equivalent combinations between parts, which fit into each other, joining the pieces by mechanical means, such as pieces that press against each other or require pins to hold them together.
En la innovación a presentarse se muestra un nuevo diseño y concepto de transporte de flor cortada en agua que vuelve más competitiva la alternativa de exportar o distribuir flor hidratada, garantizando especialmente al exportador e importador que la flor será transportada desde el productor hasta el punto de venta final en el mismo contenedor, sin necesidad de ser reempacada.The innovation to be presented shows a new design and concept of transport of cut flowers in water that makes the alternative to export or distribute hydrated flower more competitive, especially guaranteeing the exporter and importer that the flower will be transported from the producer to the point of final sale in the same container, without needing to be repackaged.
Actualmente, debido al alto costo de los empaques para flor hidratada, los exportadores e importadores optan mayoritariamente por el menor costo de usar cajas de cartón, donde la flor viaja deshidratada hasta llegar a los puntos de expendio mayorista, a pesar de que la flor deba ser removida del empaque de cartón y trasladada a baldes plásticos para su hidratación y distribución a los puntos de venta, representando mayores costos en la cadena de distribución y con un alto riesgo de que ésta se estropee en el manipuleo. Los modelos actuales, como el de la patente US 5,060,799, si bien cumplen con la función de transportar flor hidratada, su diseño y composición de materiales hace que el costo de la caja y los fletes aéreos para su transportación sean demasiado elevados. Además, dado que es un empaque rígido el manipuleo de estos modelos requiere un mayor cuidado, como se explica a continuación.Currently, due to the high cost of hydrated flower packaging, exporters and importers mostly opt for the lower cost of using cardboard boxes, where the flower travels dehydrated until it reaches the wholesale outlets, even though the flower should be removed from the cardboard packaging and transferred to plastic buckets for hydration and distribution to the points of sale, representing higher costs in the distribution chain and with a high risk that it will be damaged in handling. The models At present, such as that of US 5,060,799, although they fulfill the function of transporting hydrated flowers, their design and composition of materials makes the cost of the box and air freight for transportation too high. In addition, since it is a rigid package, the handling of these models requires greater care, as explained below.
En la cadena de distribución de la flor, las cajas están sujetas a un fuerte manipuleo, a la condensación de la humedad en los cuartos fríos, y al riesgo de que parte del agua que está en el balde estanco pueda humedecer y deteriorar el cartón. Estos percances y otros que pueden suceder, afectan en menor o mayor grado a la caja, que entre uno de sus materiales utiliza cartón encerado (en la mayoría de los casos) el que sometido a la humedad y a posibles salpicaduras de agua, ve afectadas su resistencia y condiciones físicas originales, pudiendo en ciertos casos maltratar a la flor e incluso causar posibles enfermedades. A esto cabe sumar que los empaques mixtos que actualmente se utilizan para el transporte de flores hidratadas son de peso considerable, y producen un cierto volumen de carga adicional innecesario, lo que implica un significativo incremento en los costos de fletes aéreos para la trasportación de flores frescas.In the flower distribution chain, the boxes are subject to heavy handling, condensation of moisture in cold rooms, and the risk that some of the water in the watertight bucket can moisten and deteriorate the cardboard. These mishaps and others that may happen, affect the box to a lesser or greater degree, which among one of its materials uses waxed cardboard (in most cases) that which is subjected to moisture and possible splashes of water, is affected resistance and original physical conditions, being able in some cases to mistreat the flower and even cause possible diseases. To this it should be added that the mixed packages that are currently used for the transport of hydrated flowers are of considerable weight, and produce a certain amount of unnecessary additional cargo, which implies a significant increase in air freight costs for the transport of flowers fresh.
La tendencia actual en el mundo, y en este caso particular para la agroindustria de flores, es la de buscar alternativas válidas que conduzcan a la reducción de costos de producción y al mejoramiento de la calidad, con la consecuente optimización en la cadena de distribución y en la entrega de un producto con calidad final superior. La alternativa propuesta en este modelo es la del cambio total en el diseño y en los materiales de los empaques que se usan actualmente para el transporte de flor cortada hidratada.The current trend in the world, and in this particular case for the flower industry, is to look for valid alternatives that lead to the reduction of production costs and the improvement of quality, with the consequent optimization in the distribution chain and in the delivery of a product with superior final quality. The alternative proposed in this model is that of the total change in the design and in the packaging materials that are currently used to transport hydrated cut flowers.
Explicación de la InvenciónExplanation of the Invention
La innovación que aquí damos a conocer se refiere a una caja con compartimiento estanco, para el transporte de flor cortada con agua; innovación que responde a una concepción constructiva original, con la utilización de un solo material impermeable para formar la caja, copolímero de polipropileno y pigmentos u otro, con sus respectivas grapas para la unión de las piezas que la forman. La mecánica de armado es de forma sencilla, que además de su eficacia funcional, aleja toda posibilidad de fallas en su operatividad, añadiendo a este hecho que el uso de un solo material representa un abaratamiento de costos, y reducción de tiempo de armado y del riesgo en la manipulación.The innovation that we present here refers to a box with a watertight compartment, for the transport of flower cut with water; innovation that responds to an original constructive conception, with the use of a single waterproof material to form the box, polypropylene copolymer and pigments or other, with their respective clips for joining the pieces that form it. The mechanics of armed is of simple form, that in addition to its functional efficiency, moves away all possibility of failures in its operability, adding to this fact that the use of a single material represents a reduction of costs, and reduction of time of armed and of the Risk in handling.
Uno de los objetivos de esta innovación es lograr la confección de una caja que cuente con un compartimiento estanco para el transporte de flor cortada en agua, y la opción de exhibir la flor en el mismo empaque en el que ha sido transportada. Para este propósito utiliza tres láminas de un material impermeable, por ejemplo copolímero de polipropileno y pigmentos u otro, rectangulares, con sendos pliegues, troqueles, precortes y orificios para la ventilación de la flor (ver figuras 1, 2, 3, y 11). La principal característica de esta innovación es que cuenta con una lámina que forma el compartimiento o recipiente estanco, de material 100% impermeable, (ver figura 3), a la cual se le practican pliegues para su fácil armado e introducción en la base de la caja, asegurando así la estanqueidad de la misma.One of the objectives of this innovation is to make a box that has a watertight compartment for the transport of flower cut in water, and the option of displaying the flower in the same package in which it has been transported. For this purpose, it uses three sheets of a waterproof material, for example polypropylene and pigment copolymer or other, rectangular, with two folds, dies, precuts and holes for the ventilation of the flower (see figures 1, 2, 3, and 11) . The main feature of this innovation is that it has a sheet that forms the compartment or sealed container, of 100% waterproof material, (see figure 3), which folds for easy assembly and introduction into the base of the box, thus ensuring the tightness of it.
Con este sistema, se favorece que la flor cortada sea transportada con agua en un empaque menos pesado y de diseño más compacto, disminuyendo así el volumen de carga del transporte. Esta innovación ofrece una mayor eficiencia en el manejo del inventario de empaques de los productores, puesto que las láminas (que forman la caja) se pueden apilar optimizando el espacio de bodega; el nuevo empaque está diseñado para que sea de fácil y rápido armado, mediante el simple doblez y engrapado de las láminas. Este sistema soporta mejor la cadena de frío, ofreciendo la ventilación adecuada de la flor, pudiendo alargar así la vida y calidad de la misma. Por último, es un diseño eficiente que facilita el manipuleo de la caja sin estropear su contenido y ofrece la opción de exhibición del producto en el mismo empaque gracias a su sistema de precorte, ubicado a una distancia determinada por los requerimientos del mercado, ahorrando tiempo y material adicional al exhibidor de la flor. Con estas innovaciones se pretende lograr un mejoramiento sustancial en los costos de empaque y transporte de flores hidratadas. Para una mejor comprensión, hemos agregado esquemas de esta caja o empaque en copolímero de polipropileno y pigmentos, con las siguientes dimensiones en cm: 66x38x28, donde el sistema de precorte está a 35cm de altura y la altura del compartimiento estanco es de 15cm. El gramaje y la mecánica de la caja que se ha utilizado para este caso, ha sido de 550gr/m2 para las láminas que forman la caja y 400gr/m2 para la lámina que forma el compartimiento estanco, dándole a la caja la suficiente resistencia para aguantar un peso de hasta de 70 kilos sobre ella; tomando como referencia el número máximo de cajas de estas dimensiones que se pueden apilar en un avión u otro medio de transporte que es de 3 a 4 unidades de 12 kilos cada una. Esto nos da una pauta que de acuerdo a las necesidades del mercado y específicas del cliente se puede fabricar la caja en gramajes que van desde 400gr/m2 hasta 620gr/m2 o inclusive más. Como referencia, analizando el mercado y sus costumbres, se han establecido por el momento tres dimensiones estándares en cm y manteniendo la altura del compartimiento estanco y el sistema de precorte en las dimensiones ya detalladas: caja pequeña, 66x38x28; caja mediana, 86x38x28; y caja grande, 106x38x28. Dentro de los parámetros y esquemas del empaque mostrado y descrito varias modificaciones son posibles. Es obvio que, no siendo el objeto de dichos esquemas el representar el modelo de utilidad, no podrá ser usado en intento alguno de limitar el alcance real de la protección que se solicita. Este alcance deberá ser fijado tal como lo establecen la ley y la práctica vigente en la materia, con la ayuda del juego de reivindicaciones que se adjunta con tal fin.With this system, it is favored that the cut flower be transported with water in a less heavy and more compact design packaging, thus reducing the transport load volume. This innovation offers greater efficiency in the management of the packaging inventory of the producers, since the sheets (which form the box) can be stacked optimizing the warehouse space; The new packaging is designed to be easy and quick to assemble, by simply bending and stapling the sheets. This system better supports the cold chain, offering adequate ventilation of the flower, thus extending its life and quality. Finally, it is an efficient design that facilitates the handling of the box without spoiling its contents and offers the option of displaying the product in the same package thanks to its pre-cut system, located at a distance determined by market requirements, saving time and additional material to the flower display. These innovations are intended to achieve a substantial improvement in the costs of packing and transporting hydrated flowers. For a better understanding, we have added schemes of this box or packaging in polypropylene and pigment copolymer, with the following dimensions in cm: 66x38x28, where the precut system is 35cm high and the height of the waterproof compartment is 15cm. The weight and mechanics of the box that has been used for this case, has been 550gr / m2 for the sheets that form the box and 400gr / m2 for the sheet that forms the watertight compartment, giving the box enough resistance to bear a weight of up to 70 kilos on it; taking as reference the maximum number of boxes of these dimensions that can be stacked in an airplane or other means of transport that is 3 to 4 units of 12 kilos each. This gives us a guideline that, according to the market and specific needs of the client, the box can be manufactured in grammages ranging from 400gr / m2 to 620gr / m2 or even more. As a reference, analyzing the market and its customs, three standard dimensions in cm have been established for the moment and maintaining the height of the watertight compartment and the pre-cut system in the dimensions already detailed: small box, 66x38x28; medium box, 86x38x28; and big box, 106x38x28. Within the parameters and schemes of the packaging shown and described several modifications are possible. It is obvious that, not being the object of these schemes to represent the utility model, it cannot be used in any attempt to limit the real scope of the protection requested. This scope should be set as established by law and current practice in the field, with the help of the set of claims attached for this purpose.

Descripción para llevar a Cabo el Modelo de UtilidadDescription to carry out the Utility Model
El armado de la caja se puede visualizar con la representación de las figuras 1 y 2. Láminas que son dos planchas de idéntica forma, las cuales se unen entre sí con solapas longitudinales y dobladas mediante pliegues, (figura 1 detalle 1) pudiendo de esta manera engraparse o encastrarse a lo largo de la misma, logrando el cerrado del cuerpo de la caja con una base firme. Con estas solapas alargadas se logra una doble pared en los dos vértices opuestos (figura 15 detalle 28), dándole mayor firmeza a la caja. La lámina que le da la particularidad a la caja para que pueda ser estanca (figura 3) está conformada por una sola plancha del mismo material en cuestión, de forma rectangular como las demás, con pliegues que otorgan la forma del compartimiento estanco. El armado de este cuerpo es una operación muy sencilla. El balde estanco es introducido hasta el fondo de la caja, formando una doble base para la mayor firmeza de ésta. Para poder comprender mejor los pasos de armado de la caja y de su sistema estanco, a continuación se detalla el proceso de armado de la misma:The assembly of the box can be visualized with the representation of figures 1 and 2. Sheets that are two plates of identical shape, which are joined together with longitudinal flaps and folded by folds, (figure 1 detail 1) being able to way to be stapled or embedded along it, achieving the closing of the body of the box with a firm base. With these elongated flaps a double wall is achieved in the two opposite vertices (figure 15 detail 28), giving greater strength to the box. The sheet that gives the box its particularity so that it can be waterproof (figure 3) is formed by a single sheet of the same material in question, rectangular in shape like the others, with folds that give the shape of the waterproof compartment. The assembly of this body is a very simple operation. The watertight bucket is introduced to the bottom of the box, forming a double base for greater firmness. To better understand the assembly steps of the box and its watertight system, the assembly process is detailed below:
• Las figuras 1, 2 y 3 representan una vista de las tres láminas a utilizarse en la caja de nuestra creación, donde se muestra claramente su conformación general en piezas rectangulares, cortes, troqueles y pliegues para su armado, las láminas de las figuras 1 y 2 tienen los siguientes detalles: las solapas o labios longitudinales 1, el borde de la caja 2, las solapas o labios inferiores 3, las solapas o labios superiores 4, los orificios de respiración 5, la hendidura longitudinal 6 y pequeñas solapas 10 que sirven para cerrar la caja, las hendiduras helicoidales 7 practicadas para su transporte, que soportan el peso del objeto cargado, los orificios 8 y 11 que sirven para la respiración, circulación y la no condensación de la humedad, las solapas pequeñas 12 y hendiduras 13 que sirven para apilar cajas una sobre otra, el tapón circular 14 que sirve tanto para ventilación extra como para ayudar al enfriamiento previo o calentamiento previo, y el precorte o troquelado 9 que sirve para rasgar la caja. Las piezas de las figuras 1 y 2 representan las láminas que forman la caja, y la lámina de la figura 3 representa el compartimiento estanco, donde los pliegues 15 y 16 sirven para la formación del mismo. Para este caso en particular la escala que se usó es de 1:10, cada milímetro es igual a un centímetro.• Figures 1, 2 and 3 represent a view of the three sheets to be used in the box of our creation, where its general conformation is clearly shown in rectangular pieces, cuts, dies and folds for its assembly, the sheets of figures 1 and 2 have the following details: the flaps or longitudinal lips 1, the edge of the box 2, the flaps or lower lips 3, the flaps or upper lips 4, the breathing holes 5, the longitudinal groove 6 and small flaps 10 which they serve to close the box, the helical grooves 7 made for transport, which support the weight of the loaded object, the holes 8 and 11 that serve for breathing, circulation and non-condensation of moisture, small flaps 12 and grooves 13 which serve to stack boxes one on top of another, the circular plug 14 which serves both for extra ventilation and for cooling preheating or preheating, and precut or punch 9 used to tear the box. The pieces of figures 1 and 2 represent the sheets that form the box, and the sheet of figure 3 represents the sealed compartment, where the folds 15 and 16 serve to form it. For this particular case the scale used is 1:10, each millimeter is equal to one centimeter.
• La figura 4 representa la unión de las láminas de las figuras 1 y 2, que se doblan y se unen mediante pliegues y solapas engrapadas, formando la caja, con los siguientes detalles: solapas 3 y 4, orificios de respiración 5, 8 y 11, hendiduras helicoidales 7, solapas pequeñas y hendiduras para soporte de apilamiento 12 y 13, tapón circular 14, troquelado 9, engrapado 17, y las pequeñas solapas 10 y hendidura 6 que sirven para el cerrado de la caja.• Figure 4 represents the union of the sheets of Figures 1 and 2, which are folded and joined by folds and stapled flaps, forming the box, with the following details: flaps 3 and 4, breathing holes 5, 8 and 11, helical grooves 7, small flaps and grooves for stacking support 12 and 13, circular plug 14, die cut 9, stapling 17, and the small flaps 10 and groove 6 that serve to close the box.
• Las figuras 5 y 6 representan el armado de la base usando los movimientos 18 y 19, base que nace de labios o solapas 3 de las dos láminas que forman la caja. Para darle mayor firmeza a la base se puede engrapar las uniones que la conforman.• Figures 5 and 6 represent the assembly of the base using movements 18 and 19, base born from lips or flaps 3 of the two sheets that form the box. To give greater strength to the base you can staple the joints that make it up.
» Las figuras 7, 8, 9 y 10 representan el armado del compartimiento estanco. En las figuras 7, 8 y 9 se muestra la mecánica de los pliegues, representadas con los movimientos 20, 21 y 22.»Figures 7, 8, 9 and 10 represent the assembly of the watertight compartment. Figures 7, 8 and 9 show the mechanics of the folds, represented by movements 20, 21 and 22.
• Las figuras 11, 12 y 13 representan la introducción del compartimiento estanco en la base de la caja y el cerrado de la misma, indicándose dicha introducción y cerrado con los movimientos 23 y 24.• Figures 11, 12 and 13 represent the introduction of the watertight compartment at the base of the box and its closure, indicating said introduction and closed with movements 23 and 24.

Teniendo este dibujo a escala las dimensiones en cm de: 66x38x28, donde el precorte está a 35cm de altura y el compartimiento estanco está a 15 cm de altura.Figure 13 represents a perspective of the armed box, where you can see the folds, punches, holes and slits for the passage of the hand and the double faces that give firmness to the base where the watertight compartment is located. Having this scale drawing the dimensions in cm of: 66x38x28, where the precut is 35cm high and the waterproof compartment is 15 cm high.
• La figura 14 representa la acción de rasgado o arranque de la caja con el movimiento 26.• Figure 14 represents the tearing or tearing action of the box with movement 26.
• La figura 15 representa la acción de separación del cuerpo superior de la caja, movimiento 27: separación que se la realiza claramente en el precorte o troquelado que tiene la caja, ubicado para este caso a 35cm de la base, formando un balde estanco.• Figure 15 represents the action of separation of the upper body of the box, movement 27: separation that is clearly performed in the precut or die cut that has the box, located for this case 35cm from the base, forming a watertight bucket.
• La figura 15 representa una visión al interior de la caja donde se puede observar las solapas alargadas engranpadas o encastradas con una doble pared, detalle 28.• Figure 15 represents a view inside the box where you can see the elongated flaps that are stapled or embedded with a double wall, detail 28.
El cerrado de la caja se lo hace mediante los labios superiores 4, asegurándose el cierre con las solapas 10 y hendiduras 6, que nacen de las mismas láminas que forman la caja; esta operación de cierre se sella o se asegura con su debido enzunchado para el transporte de la misma. La operación de desarmado de la caja es muy sencilla: se ejecuta haciendo la operación inversa, esto brinda la oportunidad de usar la caja varias veces y poder guardarla en forma de láminas, ahorrando espacio en bodega y ofreciendo la oportunidad de reducir costos.The closing of the box is done by the upper lips 4, ensuring the closure with the flaps 10 and slits 6, which are born from the same sheets that form the box; This closing operation is sealed or secured with its proper enzyme to transport it. The disassembly operation of the box is very simple: it is executed by doing the reverse operation, this provides the opportunity to use the box several times and be able to store it in the form of sheets, saving space in the cellar and offering the opportunity to reduce costs.
La caja en sí tiene forma de un prisma de base rectangular, encontrándose las hendiduras para el transporte de la caja cerrada en la parte superior a 2cm del precorte en caras opuestas. Así también se podrán encontrar orificios practicados para la adecuada ventilación de la flor, incluyendo las hendiduras helicoidales, favoreciendo al adecuado enfriamiento previo o calentamiento previo. La caja posee un troquelado o precorte predeterminado, en este caso a 35cm de la base, que contornea todo el perímetro del prisma. El sistema de precorte y arranque brinda la opción de dividir la caja para exhibir la flor cortada en agua, ahorrando tiempo y costos de material. Por debajo del troquelado o precorte predeterminado se encuentran otras hendiduras que fungen como agarraderas (similares a las ya detalladas) para cuando sea necesario transportar el balde estanco formado por la división de la caja. The box itself is in the form of a rectangular base prism, with the grooves for transporting the closed box at the top 2cm of the precut on opposite sides. Thus, holes made for the adequate ventilation of the flower, including the helical grooves, can be found, favoring adequate prior cooling or preheating. The box has a predetermined die cut or precut, in this case 35cm from the base, which contours the entire perimeter of the prism. The pre-cut and start system provides the option to divide the box to display the flower cut in water, saving time and material costs. Below the predetermined die cut or precut are other grooves that they serve as handles (similar to those already detailed) for when it is necessary to transport the watertight bucket formed by the division of the box.
