walls, with a top lid, which has a lid wall and a front, rear, right-hand and left-hand lid side walls, and with an insert
fixed in the lid, which extends into the container part and serves to raise a product or a product housing when the box is
opened, the insert having a base area and a side-wall area, which are separated from each other by a fold line, the length
of the side walls being a multiple of their height and the container part and the lid being hinge-connected to each other
along the rear side walls,
wherein
the container part and the lid are hinge-connected to each other via the rear container-part side wall and the rear lid side
wall and the insert is connected to the inside of the rear lid side wall, but not to the container part, the product or the
product housing placed on the insert; and
wherein when the box is closed, the base area of the insert extends to near the front container-part side wall and essentially
extends over the entire bottom wall, the side-wall area of the insert extends parallel to the rear lid side wall and the rear
container-part side wall, and the fold line rests essentially against a line between the rear container-part side wall and
the bottom wall.
