ABSTRACT:
A collapsible carton for containing articles such as prepared food and the like, including a plurality of side panels hingedly connected to one another by substantially parallel fold lines is disclosed. A bottom panel formed of a plurality of cooperating end panels hingedly connected to respective side panels and a closure for closing a top opening of the hexagonal carton with the closure being telescopically received within the top opening of the hexagonal carton and frictionally engaged with an inside surface of at least one of the side panels. Additionally, the closure may include a supplemental compartment formed therein for containing articles of a type different than that placed in the main body of the carton. In this case, a supplemental closure is provided which cooperates with the first closure for closing off the supplemental compartment. Preferably, the bottom panel is formed of a plurality of cooperating end panels including a main end panel which covers an entire inner surface of the bottom of the carton and which is hingedly connected to one of the side panels, a secondary end panel hingedly connected to a side panel diametrically opposed to the first mentioned side panel and adhered to an outer surface of the main panel, as well as two pairs of supporting end panels hingedly connected to the remaining side panels with each of said pairs of supporting end panels being adhered to one another and underlie at least a portion of the main end panel when the carton is in an erect condition.
