First Claim
1. A packaging system comprising:
- a first box part comprising a plurality of lid walls, wherein a first lid wall comprises an aperture, wherein the first lid wall further comprises a front plate and a back plate, wherein the front plate and back plate both comprise respective apertures, wherein the front plate and back plate are both substantially parallel with the first lid wall, wherein the front plate and the back plate are coupled together such that the apertures of a) the first lid wall, b) the front plate, and c) the back plate are substantially aligned, wherein the first lid wall further comprises an inside wall and an adjacent outside wall, wherein the front plate is disposed between the inside and outside walls, and wherein back plate is disposed such that the inside wall is between the front plate and the back plate;
a latch slidably disposed within the substantially aligned apertures of a) the first lid wall, b) the front plate, and c) the back plate; and
a second box part comprising a plurality of tray walls, wherein a first tray wall comprises a channel sized to slidably receive the latch, wherein the channel comprises an assembly channel segment and a locking channel segment, wherein the assembly channel segment intersects an edge of the first tray wall, wherein the second box part is configured to fit within the first box part such that a) the assembly channel segment is aligned with the latch when the latch is in a first position within the aperture, and b) the latch is slidable within the locking channel segment to a second position.
