Abstract: A carton, a method and an apparatus for forming a novel carton, having a waterproof lining are disclosed. The carton preferably may include a base portion, leading and trailing end edges, first and second side edges, leading and trailing end flaps, and first and second side flaps. The waterproof lining may be affixed to the carton by an adhesive pattern disposed on the at least a portion of the carton. Upon folding of the flaps about the base portion, a container having a waterproof lining may be formed for retaining objects. The waterproof lining may include a bag and may further include a means for sealing the bag for enclosing wet objects, such as seafood products, therein.

Abstract: A pastry box includes a shelf portion which is formed from a blank that is separate from a one-piece box blank. The shelf includes flaps that provide support for the shelf when inserted into the folded box, thereby creating a box with two overlying compartments. The shelf is glued at its rear flap to the rear sidewall of the box thereby providing a hinge for the shelf so the shelf may be raised to provide access to a lower compartment.
