Abstract: In a blank of cardboard packaging material for a multipack type of package for containers, in particular bottles, having an upper part with laterally bendable oblique panels provided as a transition to the side panels, which continue to form a bottom panel and provided with from and back closure flaps for equalizing tolerances in the containers that are to be enveloped, bottom flaps joined to the bottom part with bending lines are provided, with bottom flaps disposed thereon that can be folded in via bending lines and that are joined via bending lines to lower and middle side panels. Cover flaps are joined to a cover part via bending lines, and side flaps that have perforated tolerance-equalizing bending lines are joined to oblique panels in a bendable manner by means of bending lines.
