Abstract: Disclosed is a carton especially adapted to package single servings of pie. The carton has a triangular shape due to triangular top and bottom panels. A trapezoidal end wall connects the top and bottom panels at the bases of the respective triangles and slants outwardly from bottom to top. The bottom panel has inner side wall panels attached to it. The inner side wall panels are secured in the vertical upright position by means of corner flaps which are preferably secured to the outer surfaces of the inner side wall panels. The top panel can contain an opening which is preferably covered by a strip of film. The fragile pie crust is better protected by the slanted end wall, and further by the overlapping corner flaps.

Abstract: A flat, folded carton having a snap-up bottom for erection into a generally conical hollow container includes a bottom panel of generally octagonal configuration, and two upstanding side wall panels interconnected by end walls. One side panel is of isosceles trapezoidal shape, while the other side panel is of isosceles triangular shape. The end walls are hingedly connected to the isosceles triangular wall panel, and bonded by a glue strip to the isosceles trapezoidal panel. The resulting container configuration is generally conical, with the planes of the side wall panels extending upwardly and divergently from the bottom panel. Hence, the carton provides an enlarged bell mouth opening for the generally conical hollow container, thereby facilitating the scooping and loading of products into the container.
