ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed herein a foldable blank for use in forming a basket-like container and which may be part of a kit.
The blank includes an eight-sided base and eight tab-like wall sections foldably secured to the base along each side at a base score line. Securement slots are formed in the base adjacent the score lines. Each wall section includes an outer wall panel which is secured at one end to the base. A triangular locking panel is secured to a side edge of the outer panel and a top edge panel to the other end of the outer panel. An inner wall panel is secured at one end to the top edge panel and has a securement tab at the other end. The wall sections are pivoted upwardly along the base score line, the locking panel of an adjacent section positioned against the inward surface of the outer panel, and the inner panel folded downwardly to trap and lock the locking panel in position. The inner panel securement tab engages the securement slot and locks the inner panel in position. The assembly is done sequentially so as to form upright walls for the container.
