A blank for a collapsible, folded container for food, the blank comprising: a lower panel including (i) a base portion that forms a food supporting surface when the blank is folded into a container configuration, and (ii) a front end portion including a first corner, a second corner, a first flap disposed at the first corner, and a second flap disposed at the second corner; an upper panel including a hinge portion hingedly connecting with the lower panel at a first hinge fold line, and a top portion hingedly connecting with the hinge portion at a second hinge fold line; a lengthwise fold line extending along a length of the blank, at least, through the base portion of the lower panel, the hinge portion of the upper panel, and the top portion of the upper panel; a first lateral fold line extending across the lower panel and oriented perpendicular to the lengthwise fold line, the first lateral fold line dividing the base portion into a first part and a second part with an area of the second part being substantially larger than an area of the first part; and a second lateral fold line extending across the upper panel through the top portion and oriented perpendicular to the lengthwise fold line; wherein the blank is adapted to be folded into a container configuration, subsequently unfolded into an unfolded configuration, and then re-folded using the lengthwise fold line, the first lateral fold line, the first hinge fold line, and the second lateral fold line into a collapsed configuration; and wherein the first flap and the second flap of the lower panel are adapted to interlock with each other to secure a configuration of the blank when it is in the collapsed configuration.
