  • Patent number: RE29013
    Abstract: An easy packing deep container is made from a cut and scored blank of paperboard or the like and comprises opposed pairs of main panels connected along lines of fold to define a tube. One of the main panels is split and is composed of half panel sections part of which are overlapped and joined by gluing or the like. The unjoined parts have scores commencing at the point where they are joined and terminating at corners thereof to define triangular shaped subpanels which may be folded out of the way for loading of the container. Closure flaps extend from one end of the main panels and are foldable to position to define an end closure for the tube. Other closure flaps extend from the opposite edges of the split main panel and are foldably connected thereto to define a pair of minor closure flaps.
