Definitions

  • the invention relates to sealable cartons, and more particularly to sealable cartons having diagonal comer blanks for forming such cartons.
  • a tray-like shallow carton having angled (or diagonal) comers is a convenient means for packaging many items, particularly generally flat food items such as pizza.
  • One example is illustrated in US 3, 512, 697.
  • the angled corners provide a geometric structure that strengthens the carton by increasing its load bearing capacity. The contents of such a carton are protected from damage that might occur from loads typically placed upon the carton.
  • An example of a typical load is the weight produced when multiple cartons are stacked one upon another for shipping and/or storage.
  • the angled comer structure is beneficial the resulting geometric configuration results in a substantially open or openable corner structure through which contaminants may enter. What is needed is a diagonally cornered carton whose angled corners inhibit the entrance of contaminants into the carton.
  • Blanks for forming cartons are made from paperboard or other suitable material. It is highly desirable to minimise the amount of excess carton forming material when such blanks are made. Preferably the blank should be manufactured with a minimum of excess carton forming material.
  • a first aspect of the present invention provides a blank for forming a flat tubular carton, comprising a plurality of panels for forming outer walls of the carton including a top, a base, pair of oppositely disposed side walls interconnecting the top and the base to provide a flat tubular structure and end flaps to close opposite ends of the carton.
  • a corner structure comprising plurality of panels to connect a first wall panel of the outer wall to adjacent wall panels.
  • the corner structure comprises a corner panel hingedly connected to the first wall panel and adapted to provide a bevelled corner and a first gusset panel hingedly connected to the comer panel and the adjacent wall panel of the first wall panel by means of a connecting portion.
