Abstract: A blank for being folded into a food container has one group of fold lines along which the blank is folded to form an elongate, tubular, rectangularly shaped food container. The blank is provided with a second set of closely spaced fold lines which extend transversely to the length of the tubular food container. There is a third fold line between each pair of second fold lines. The second and third sets of fold lines are formed so that pressing the food container from opposite longitudinal ends causes sections of the blank disposed between the second fold lines to fold inwardly at the third fold lines, to define and form a plurality of food compartments in the food container. A set of slits is formed in the blank at the locations of the corners of the compartment forming indentations. The slits permit the indented walls to pass through one another in an overlapping manner and in a manner which seals the corners against leakage of food.
