  • Patent number: 4572424
    Abstract: A container which is nested along its bottom closure panels in the web to gain additional capacity in a waxing unit. There are oblique outer edges on each of the bottom closure panels which allow the panels to be nested in the blank. All of oblique outer edges of each of the bottom closure panels extend in the same direction creating long and short sections in each of the closure panels which in the finished container interlock to hold the closure panels in a locked position. The oblique edges also provide camming edges which allow the bottom closure panels to be pushed inwardly into the container until they interlock and then snap back into position to form the bottom closure.
