  • Patent number: 4126225
    Abstract: A poultry container formed from a single blank of paperboard material adhesively joined along a joint comprises two parallel side walls and two parallel end walls disposed perpendicular to the side walls. The side walls and end walls eachinclude an integral, inwardly foldable bottom flap which provide the container with a closed base portion. Each end wall has an integral, inwardly foldable end flap. The end flaps are divided into first and second hingedly connected body portions which when folded provide the end flaps with a two-ply construction. Each side wall includes an integral side flap which is inwardly foldable over the end flaps to close the container. Each side flap includes a pair of spaced parallel perforated lines which extend from the free edge of the side flap to the respective side wall connected thereto. The perforated lines divide each side flap into a center portion which is disposed between two smaller lateral portions.
