PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRIPTION:
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention provides an angular pocket slide pack. More specifically, the invention relates to the boxes for packaging for FMCG goods, pharmaceutical sector, business cards, cosmetic products, chewing gum etc wherein slide open feature makes the entire product from the storage compartment fully accessible.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A Packaging is the science, art and technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale and use. The packaging also refers to the process of design, evaluation, and production of packages. This packaging can be described as a coordinated system of preparing goods for transport, warehousing, logistics, sale and end use. Well-designed packaging is essential to protect manufactured products as they travel from the plant and through several distribution channels to the customer. It also plays an important role in advertising the product and presenting it in such a manner as to attract the customer.
Different types of packaging are made from plastic, metal or aluminium, cardboard, glass and foam. In this cardboard packaging is used when the product is already wrapped in something that is already well protected and secured. This material is also highly recyclable. This material is also used in manufacturing corrugated boxes. Some products use bubble wrap for protective purposes before putting it in a well-sealed box. Taping machines are commonly used for sealing these corrugated boxes just to make sure that product is delivered intact.
The main challenge lies not in providing a good packaging and impressing consumers but in managing the cost involved in making the packaging evenly acceptable to all the stakeholders in the supply chain. Important considerations like weight, cost and availability of packaging material also play a key role. The cost of package should not be high enough in comparison with the cost of product as it will ultimately mark up the price for the end users.
In conventional methods of packaging designs with slide openings need multiple pieces of cardboard to produce, which was disadvantageous. Further, it required an insertion step or inserting of the slide member in between or adjacent other side panels of the box. This insertion step cannot be easily accomplished by various food manufacturers without significant changes. Therefore, conventional packing methods are unreliable, costly, and slow, due mainly to the requirement of folding the stop flap and/or the stop panel by hand, and inserting the inner sliding piece into the sleeve by hand.
US 20070068843A1 discloses a package includes a slide card that can be releasably locked in an outer sleeve. The slide card includes an engaging tab that provides part of a locking mechanism that is used to lock the slide card in the outer sleeve. A support element is positioned and secured to the slide card to maintain the resilience of the slide card at a hinged connection between the engaging tab and a base panel along a fold line. The Support element is dimensioned and positioned to define a minimum angle between the engaging tab and the base panel. Thereby, the resiliency of the slide card is not compromised as the engaging tab is repeatedly folded or depressed toward the base panel. The main drawback of this invention is the cost involved in paper and manufacturing of slide card and need of additional tray for serving the product.
For the foregoing reasons, there remains a need for a box that offers a convenient slide opening for easy dispensing of product, that is easy to manufacture on a mass production scale using conventional high-speed packaging machines, and that is constructed in such a way to avoid any insertion step.
