Tamper Proof Container Arrangement And Method For Transporting Any Type Of Highly Sensitive Products

Abstract

A tamper proof container arrangement comprising a single board blank adapted to be folded into a double-walled box having a single site of entry. The tamper proof container arrangement further comprising a security strip embedded in the blank and extending a full length of the blank, the security strip comprising a polymer material having at least one filament. The tamper proof container arrangement further comprising a plurality of holes formed in the blank in a manner wherein the plurality of holes pass through the security strip, and wherein the plurality of holes are arranged relative to each other such that when the blank is folded into its box configuration, a lead may be passed through the plurality of holes to enable the box to be locked against unauthorized entry.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A tamper proof container arrangement comprising:
 a single board blank adapted to be folded into a double-walled corrugated box having a single site of entry;   a security strip embedded in the single board blank and extending a full length of the single board blank, the security strip comprising a polymer material having at least one reinforcing filament;   a plurality of holes formed in the single board blank in a manner that the plurality of holes, pass through the security strip, the plurality of holes are arranged relative to each other such that when the single board blank is folded into its box configuration, a lead may be passed through the plurality of holes to enable the box to be locked against unauthorized entry.   
     
     
         2 . The tamper proof container arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of holes comprises a first hole, a second hole and a third hole, the first hole is located proximate a first end of the single board blank, and the second hole and the third hole are located proximate to each other and proximate a second end of the single board blank; and
 the first hole and the second hole are overlapping and the third hole is located proximate the first hole and the second hole when the single board blank is folded into its box configuration in a manner that permits a lead to be passed through the first hole and the second hole overlapping, and then pass through the third hole proximately located, to enable the double-walled corrugated box to be secured against unauthorized entry.   
     
     
         3 . The tamper proof container arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one reinforcing filament is a woven filament. 
     
     
         4 . The tamper proof container arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one reinforcing filament, forms a non-woven fabric. 
     
     
         5 . The tamper proof container arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the lead is secured by one or more of crimping, fusing, bonding, or locking, such that portions of the lead are secured relative to each other. 
     
     
         6 . The tamper proof container arrangement of  claim 5 , wherein the lead is threaded through a first hole and a second hole of the plurality of holes, then through a third hole of the plurality of holes prior to the portions of the lead being secured relative to each other. 
     
     
         7 . The tamper proof container arrangement of  claim 6 , wherein the lead further comprises an identifier code. 
     
     
         8 . The tamper proof container arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the single board blank comprises at least a corrugated layer, and at least a first face layer. 
     
     
         9 . The tamper proof container arrangement of  claim 8 , wherein the single board blank further comprises a second face layer, with the corrugated layer between the first face layer and the second face layer. 
     
     
         10 . The tamper proof container arrangement of  claim 1  wherein the single board blank comprises one or more of fiberboard, paperboard, cardstock, solid bleached board, and plastic. 
     
     
         11 . The tamper proof container arrangement of  claim 1 , further comprising protective materials within the tamper proof container arrangement. 
     
     
         12 . The tamper proof container arrangement of  claim 11 , wherein the protective materials provide protection against one or more of impact damage, thermal damage, and static discharge damage. 
     
     
         13 . The tamper proof container arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the single board blank has a coating on an exterior surface. 
     
     
         14 . The tamper proof container arrangement of  claim 13 , wherein the coating is a protective coating providing one or more of moisture penetration resistance, and wear resistance. 
     
     
         15 . The tamper proof container arrangement of  claim 13 , wherein the coating, enhances an application of graphics and signage. 
     
     
         16 . A blank for forming a tamper proof container comprising:
 a corrugated fiberboard having a plurality of pre-folds defining a bottom panel, a pair of double side panels, a front panel, a back panel, a top panel, and a front flap panel;   a security strip embedded within the corrugated fiberboard and having at least one filament reinforcement, and having at least a first hole, a second hole, and a third hole passing through the security strip within the blank; and   a lead that may be passed through the first hole, the second hole and the third hole, and configured to have ends of the lead secured together, the lead having an identifier code.
