[photo of a stack of flat boxes with what looks like a black line on the edge of each of them indicating where to open]

Son impression peut éventuellement fragiliser le [dièdre]. On peut le remplacer par une encoche (notch) dans la découpe d’un des rabats, qui fera office de détrompeur.

Date de production de la caisse par le fournisseur.
