The invention relates to a folded box comprising two principal wall sections (5, 9), which are joined on one side and can be interconnected on the opposing side, for example by means of a flap (39), to form a substantially tubular body, whose ends can be sealed. To reduce production costs, a lateral wall section (11, 12), with ends that taper to a point, is configured in at least one of the two principal wall sections (5, 9).
