Abstract

See full text

Packaging boxes and packaging methods for providing the ability to quickly open tape-sealed packages while eliminating the necessity for cutting tools and potential cutting injuries associated with these cutting tools. Through the inclusion of at least one perforated access panel in at least one end portion of a corrugated packaging box, hand access is provided to an end of the tape allowing the length of tape to be completely removed without the use of any cutting tools. The at least one perforated access panel can include a punch-in section and a tear-away section wherein a tape end is positioned over at least a portion of the punch-in section. The punch-in section can be pushed inwards providing access to the tear-away section. Pulling on the tear-away section results in the tear-away section and correspondingly, the tape being torn from the packaging box.
