ABSTRACT:
A clamshell type paperboard container formed from a unitary blank of paperboard. Two embodiments are described. In the first, the container is square and the lid includes four triangular panels meeting at an elevated and central common point. In the second, the container in rectangular and the lid includes two triangular panels and two trapezoidal panels, and the central elevated portion of the lid includes an elongated ridge or rib. These constructions prevent stacking and hence inadvertent crushing of a closed and filled container. The slanting sides of the lids yield an easel effect for graphics thereon.
