A decorative box is disclosed for gift wrapping that requires no additional wrapping paper. The box is made from a blank that has a central panel with opposed end flaps. Side panels fold up perpendicular to the central panel and have interlocking end portions that fit inside the end flaps. Outer panels attached to the side panels fold over to close the box. The outer panels have distal flaps that tuck in behind the end flaps. Wrapping paper can be applied to the outer surface of the box and adhered to the inner surface of the box blank around the periphery thereof to make a pre-wrapped gift box.

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 8, 1989. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended November 8, 2009.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 8, 2011.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
