  • Carton having integral, removable platform
    Patent number: 5076492
    Abstract: A rectangular carton for shipping articles such as incandescent light bulbs and serving as a display base for the articles is formed from a unitary boxboard blank and has an integral, removable platform or false bottom within. This enables the carton to be of a sufficient height to serve as a base to display the articles and at the same time permits shipment of a quantity of articles substantially less than what the carton will hold without the need for fillers or extra packing materials.
