The present disclosure is directed to a retail box and a method of making a retail box. Retail boxes in accordance with the present disclosure are manufactured beginning with paper, which is rolled on a core. Two halves of the box, or “half-boxes,” are first produced, and then brought together to form a complete box.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a box, comprising:providing a first pliable substrate;folding the first pliable substrate along two lines to create two box side portions depending from a top half portion;providing a second pliable substrate;folding the second pliable substrate along two lines to create two box side portions depending from a bottom half portion;applying a bonding agent to at least one of the first pliable substrate and the second pliable substrate, wherein the bonding agent is applied to at least some of a surface of the at least one of the first pliable substrate and the second pliable substrate corresponding to at least one box side portion;maintaining the top half portion and the bottom half portion in tension;attaching a first one of the two box side portions depending from the top half portion to a first one of the two box side portions depending from the bottom half portion, and attaching a second one of the two box side portions depending from the top half portion to a second one of the two box side portions depending from the bottom half portion, creating an assembled box blank with composite box side portions;cutting the assembled box blank to a length to form a box, wherein a first end and a second end of the box are open;cutting the first pliable substrate along at least first and second lines, wherein at least a first pair of cuts are formed in the first pliable substrate;folding a first portion of the first pliable substrate adjacent the at least a first pair of cuts, wherein a first end flap depending from the top half portion and two dust flaps are formed;cutting the second pliable substrate along at least first and second lines, wherein at least a first pair of cuts are formed in the second pliable substrate;folding a first portion of the second pliable substrate adjacent the at least a first pair of cuts, wherein a first end flap depending from the bottom half portion and two dust flaps are formed;cutting the first pliable substrate along at least third and fourth lines, wherein at least a second pair of cuts are formed in the first pliable substrate;folding a second portion of the first pliable substrate adjacent the at least a second pair of cuts, wherein a second end flap depending from the top half portion and two dust flaps are formed;cutting the second pliable substrate along at least third and fourth lines, wherein at least a second pair of cuts are formed in the second pliable substrate;folding a second portion of the second pliable substrate adjacent the second pair of cuts, wherein a second end flap depending from the bottom half portion and two dust flaps are formed.
