Abstract

A color coded packing box apparatus for convenient and efficient moving includes a set of sidewalls each having a sidewall top edge and a sidewall bottom edge. The sidewall top edge has a top slit extending into a front sidewall. The sidewall bottom edge has a bottom slit extending into a back sidewall. A top wall is foldably coupled to the sidewall top edge along the back sidewall. A top tab is coupled to the top wall to engage the top slit. A bottom wall is foldably coupled to the sidewall bottom edge along the front sidewall. A bottom tab is coupled to the bottom wall to engage the bottom slit. Each of the sidewalls, the top wall, and the bottom wall are a solid color for visual organization when a plurality of color coded packing box apparatuses are in use.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A color coded packing box system comprising:
 a plurality of packing boxes, each packing box including
 a set of sidewalls including a front sidewall, a back sidewall, a left sidewall, and a right sidewall, the set of sidewalls each having a sidewall top edge and a sidewall bottom edge, the set of sidewalls forming a rectangular prismatic box inside, the sidewall top edge having a top slit extending into the front sidewall, the sidewall bottom edge having a bottom slit extending into the back sidewall; 
 a top wall coupled to the set of sidewalls, the top wall having a top wall proximal edge foldably coupled to the sidewall top edge along the back sidewall; 
 a top tab coupled to the top wall, the top tab being foldably coupled to a top wall distal edge of the top wall, the top tab being selectively engageable within the top slit to secure the top wall against the sidewall top edge covering the box inside; 
 a bottom wall coupled to the set of sidewalls, the bottom wall having a bottom wall proximal edge foldably coupled to the sidewall bottom edge along the front sidewall; and 
 a bottom tab coupled to the bottom wall, the bottom tab being foldably coupled to a bottom wall distal edge of the bottom wall, the bottom tab being selectively engageable within the bottom slit to secure the bottom wall against the sidewall bottom edge covering the box inside; and 
   wherein the sidewalls, the top wall, and the bottom wall of each packing box are a solid color, said plurality of packing boxes comprising a plurality of different colors for visual organization and distinct visual appearance between differently colored packing boxes wherein said plurality of packing boxes are configured for facilitating packing of items into distinguishable groups within same colored packing boxes.   
     
     
         2 . The color coded packing box system of  claim 1  further comprising an inner flap coupled to the set of sidewalls, the inner flap being foldably coupled to the sidewall bottom edge along the back sidewall. 
     
     
         3 . The color coded packing box system of  claim 1  further comprising a pair of bottom lateral flaps coupled to the bottom wall, the pair of bottom lateral flaps being foldably coupled to a pair of bottom lateral edges of the bottom wall. 
     
     
         4 . The color coded packing box system of  claim 1  further comprising a pair of top lateral flaps coupled to the top wall, the pair of top lateral flaps being foldably coupled to a pair of top lateral edges of the top wall. 
     
     
         5 . The color coded packing box system of  claim 1  further comprising each of the top tab and the bottom tab being trapezoidal. 
     
     
         6 . The color coded packing box system of  claim 5  further comprising each of the top tab and the bottom tab having rounded corners. 
     
     
         7 . A color coded packing box system comprising:
 a plurality of packing boxes, each packing box including
 a set of sidewalls including a front sidewall, a back sidewall, a left sidewall, and a right sidewall, the set of sidewalls each having a sidewall top edge and a sidewall bottom edge, the set of sidewalls forming a rectangular prismatic box inside, the sidewall top edge having a top slit extending into the front sidewall, the sidewall bottom edge having a bottom slit extending into the back sidewall; 
 an inner flap coupled to the set of sidewalls, the inner flap being foldably coupled to the sidewall bottom edge along the back sidewall; 
 a top wall coupled to the set of sidewalls, the top wall having a top wall proximal edge foldably coupled to the sidewall top edge along the back sidewall; 
 a pair of top lateral flaps coupled to the top wall, the pair of top lateral flaps being foldably coupled to a pair of top lateral edges of the top wall; 
 a top tab coupled to the top wall, the top tab being foldably coupled to a top wall distal edge of the top wall, the top tab being selectively engageable within the top slit, to secure the top wall against the sidewall top edge covering the box inside; 
 a bottom wall coupled to the set of sidewalls, the bottom wall having a bottom wall proximal edge foldably coupled to the sidewall bottom edge along the front sidewall; 
 a pair of bottom lateral flaps coupled to the bottom wall, the pair of bottom lateral flaps being foldably coupled to a pair of bottom lateral edges of the bottom wall; and 
 a bottom tab coupled to the bottom wall, the bottom tab being foldably coupled to a bottom wall distal edge of the bottom wall, the bottom tab being selectively engageable within the bottom slit to secure the bottom wall against the sidewall bottom edge covering the box inside, each of the top tab and the bottom tab being trapezoidal and having rounded corners; 
   wherein the sidewalls, the top wall, and the bottom wall of each packing box are a solid color, said plurality of packing boxes comprising a plurality of different colors for visual organization and distinct visual appearance between differently colored packing boxes wherein said plurality of packing boxes are configured for facilitating packing of items into distinguishable groups within same colored packing boxes.   
     
     
         8 . A method of organizing packing boxes comprising:
 having a plurality of items to be moved;   having a plurality of color coded packing boxes, each packing box comprising:
 a set of sidewalls including a front sidewall, a back sidewall, a left sidewall, and a right sidewall, the set of sidewalls each having a sidewall top edge and a sidewall bottom edge, the set of sidewalls forming a rectangular prismatic box inside, the sidewall top edge having a top slit extending into the front sidewall, the sidewall bottom edge having a bottom slit extending into the back sidewall; 
 a top wall coupled to the set of sidewalls, the top wall having a top wall proximal edge foldably coupled to the sidewall top edge along the back sidewall; 
 a top tab coupled to the top wall, the top tab being foldably coupled to a top wall distal edge of the top wall, the top tab being selectively engageable within the top slit to secure the top wall against the sidewall top edge covering the box inside;
