Claim:
A tray, comprising: a base panel having a periphery; a plurality of sidewalls extending upwardly and outwardly from the periphery of the base panel, and extending around an interior of the tray, wherein the plurality of sidewalls comprise more than four sidewalls that are respectively adjacent to one another, each sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls includes opposite first and second marginal portions extending outwardly from the base panel, for each adjacent pair of sidewalls of the plurality of sidewalls, the first marginal portion of a first sidewall of the adjacent pair of sidewalls is in an overlapping relationship with, and is fastened to, the second marginal portion of a second sidewall of the adjacent pair of sidewalls, and the fastened-together first and second sidewalls extend obliquely to the base panel so that an opening to the interior of the tray is larger than the base panel; an outwardly bulging first convex fold line connecting an outwardly bulging convex inner edge of the first sidewall of a first of the adjacent pairs of sidewalls to the periphery of the base panel, the outwardly bulging first convex fold line extending from the first marginal portion of the first sidewall of the first adjacent pair of sidewalls to the second marginal portion of the first sidewall of the first adjacent pair of sidewalls; and an outwardly bulging second convex fold line connecting an outwardly bulging convex inner edge of the second sidewall of the first adjacent pair of sidewalls to the periphery of the base panel, the outwardly bulging second convex fold line extending from the first marginal portion of the second sidewall of the first adjacent pair of sidewalls to the second marginal portion of the second sidewall of the first adjacent pair of sidewalls.
