Abstract: A cut and scored, paperboard blank and the hexahedronal container formed from the blank. The container has bottom, top and end walls reinforced by at least one additional layer of paperboard material. The container features a handle construction which is connected to one of the side walls and is located within the container and beneath its top wall until the handle is positioned outwardly of the container, by the two steps of: partially opening the container by folding the side panels away from each other; and then, closing the container by folding the side panels towards each other, while urging the handle through a slot in the top wall of the container. The container also features a key shaped hole in an end wall of the container through which a roll of wire, in the container, can be dispensed and which is adapted to hold the end of the wire outwardly of the container in a readily accessible position.
