Claim:
A container having a base panel, two opposing side walls and two opposing end walls, formed from a unitary blank, comprising: (a) a first end flap and second end flap foldably attached to a first of said opposing side walls, wherein said first and second end flaps have a top edge, (b) a third end flap and fourth end flap foldably attached to a second of said opposing side walls, wherein said third and fourth end flaps have a top edge, (c) at least one recess cut from the top edge of said first end flap, said recess comprising, a base line having a first end and a second end, a first slope line angled divergently from the first end of said base line to a first point on said top edge, wherein said first point is horizontally displaced from said first end by a first distance, and a second slope line angled divergently from a second end of said baseline to a second point on said top edge, wherein said second point is horizontally displaced from said second end by a second distance, wherein the first distance is different than the second distance, and (d) wherein, said first slope line comprises a first segment and a second segment, wherein said first segment extends perpendicularly from the first end of said base line, and said second segment extends from said first segment to said top edge at an angle divergent from said second slope line, and wherein said second slope line comprises a first segment and a second segment, wherein said first segment extends perpendicularly from the second end of said base line, and said second segment extends from said first segment to said top edge at an angle divergent from said first slope line.
