Box with insert that extends from a side and that divides the box into compartments and methods for forming and using

Abstract

A box, a blank that can be easily formed into the box via an intermediate box assembly, and methods for generating and using the box allows one to quickly and easily package flowers and accessories for shipment to a consumer without bending, bruising or otherwise damaging the flowers. The box includes an insert that extends from a side of the box and is pivotable into an interior of the box. The insert includes a divider that extends from the insert and can be attached to a side after the flowers have been placed in the interior to extend between two sides and divide the interior into two compartments. One compartment contains the flower portion of the flowers while the other compartment contains the stem portion of the flowers and the accessories. The blanks allow one to quickly and easily generate the boxes and ensure that the box generated will have an insert to protect the flowers during shipment. The intermediate box assembly can be generated by the manufacturer of the blank and easily shipped to or stored by a florist. Then, to ship flowers to a customer, the florist can quickly and easily generate the box from the intermediate box assembly and place the flowers into the box without bending, bruising or otherwise damaging the flowers.
