Abstract: A method for packaging glass jars by arranging the jars in nested engagement in staggered rows in a wrap-around fiberboard carton. By utilizing corrugated fiberboard with the corrugations extending at an angle to the score lines formed in the carton blank, consistency of carton dimensions is insured. The use of a film-type overwrap shrunken onto each jar minimizes any adverse effect caused by breakage and provides a surface for imprintation.

Abstract: A container for holding a mass of a flowable solid material comprising a bottom, at least one end wall and a pair of side walls, each having a generally upright side margin therebetween to which the end wall is coupled. The end wall is provided with a pair of arcuate fold lines extending upwardly from respective side margins and being covergent relative to each other at a location near the upper extremity of the end wall intermediate the side margins. The side walls and end wall are formed of a material having sufficient flexibility to permit the sides to be moved toward each other while simultaneously allowing the end wall to flex outwardly along the fold lines so that the upper portion of the end wall forms a spout to control the pouring of the flowable solid material from the box.
