Abstract:
A carton defines a bottom wall, a first side wall coupled to the bottom wall, a second side wall disposed opposite the first side wall and coupled to the bottom wall, a first end wall coupled to both the bottom wall and first and second side walls, and a second end wall disposed opposite the first end wall and coupled to both the bottom wall and the first and second side walls. The carton is formed from a blank having a first side and a second side disposed opposite said first side. The first side defines the interior surface of the bottom wall and the interior and exterior surfaces of the first and second side walls and the first and second end walls.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of forming a carton comprising:\n providing a blank having a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite said first surface, said blank comprising a plurality of main panels hinged together in a linear series, said plurality of main panels comprising a bottom panel, first and second inner side panels, and first and second outer side panels, wherein said first outer side panel is hingedly connected to said first inner side panel, said first inner side panel is hingedly connected to said bottom panel, said bottom panel is hingedly connected to said second inner side panel, and said second inner side panel is hingedly connected to said second outer side panel, said blank further comprising first and second end panels, first, second, third, and fourth inner end flaps, and first, second, third, and fourth outer end flaps, wherein said first and second end panels are hingedly connected to said bottom panel at respective opposite ends of said bottom panel, said first and second outer end flaps are hingedly connected to said first outer side panel at respective opposite ends of said first outer side panel, said third and fourth outer end flaps are hingedly connected to said second outer side panel at respective opposite ends of said second outer side panel, said first and second inner end flaps are hingedly connected to said first inner side panel at respective opposite ends of said first inner side panel, and said third and fourth inner end flaps are hingedly connected to said second inner side panel at respective opposite ends of said second inner side panel; folding said first outer side panel back onto said first inner side panel and securing it thereto in a face-contacting relationship; folding said second outer side panel back onto said first inner side panel and securing it thereto in a face-contacting relationship; folding said first outer side panel and said first inner side panel about said bottom panel so as to form a first side wall of said carton; folding said second outer side panel and said second inner side panel about said bottom panel so as to form a second side wall of said carton, said bottom panel forming a bottom wall of said carton; folding said first and second end panels about said bottom panel to form respective first and second end walls of said carton; folding said first and third inner end flaps and said first and third outer end flaps into an overlapping arrangement with an exterior surface of said first end panel and securing them thereto; and folding said second and fourth inner end flaps and said second and fourth outer end flaps into an overlapping arrangement with an exterior surface of said second end panel and securing them thereto; and wherein the interior surface of said bottom wall, and the interior and exterior surfaces of the first and second side walls and first and second end walls are each defined substantially entirely by the first surface.
