Abstract: An eight-sided container (10) formed from a single blank which can be machine glued, partially manually erected, and fully opened by the insertion of its contents. The container includes eight side panels (12-26) a side glue flap (28), a large octagonal top (34) and a bottom formed of three pairs of flaps (54) being machine glued to an adjacent flap (56). The third pair of flaps (58) are substantially larger than the other pair of flaps and are adapted to overlie and interlock with each other to provide a strong bottom.
