『Hexagonal Sleeve for Japanese Yam』
JA MATSUMOTO HIGH‐LAND
Oji Container Co., Ltd.
A corrugated cardboard box has been developed for carrying Japanese yams. For enhanced visibility, hexagonal sleeve is applied. The conventional box used to apply straps to fix long-shaped content to the bottom; however, two bands of the same material have been added in the bottom to hold the content instead of straps. The printing shows the view of northern Alps from Matsumoto City.
