Abstract: A method for forming a container having container side walls and a lid. The container side walls have end edges. The lid has a central panel, side panels attached to the central panel by score lines, and an annular crushed area conterminous with the score lines in the central panel. The liners and the corrugated material are crushed together in the crushed area. In the method the container walls are opened, the lid blank and the container walls are moved relative to each other until the end edges of the container side walls are aligned with the crushed area, the container side walls and the lid are moved relatively toward each other until the container side walls are seated in the crushed area, the lid side panels are folded onto the container side walls and fastened to the container side walls. In one embodiment the lid is of fibreboard material and the side walls of the container are aligned with the score lines of the lid.

Abstract: A container has side walls of substantially equal height and a lid. The container is of corrugated material. The lid has a central panel and side panels attached to the central panel by score lines. The lid is of fiberboard material. The lid side panels are glued to the container side walls.

Abstract: A container has side walls of substantially equal height and top and bottom lids. Each lid has a central panel and side panels attached to the central panel by score lines. The lids have an annular crushed area in the central panel which is conterminous with the score lines. The container side walls fit into the annular crushed area. The bottom lid side panels are fastened to the container side walls.

Abstract: A blank for a container lid having at least one layer of corrugated material to which liner material is attached on both sides of the corrugated material. The blank has a central panel. There are side panels attached to each side of the central panel by score lines. Each of the side panels is substantially the same length as the central panel side to which it is attached. The central panel has an annular area conterminous with the score lines attaching the side panels. The annular area is crushed, the liners and corrugated material being crushed together.
