ABSTRACT:
An asparagus carton and a unitary blank for forming it. The blank is of corrugated paperboard. The carton interior is tapered along opposite side walls by virtue of slanting side spacer panels. This yields a trapezoidal configuration of a part of the carton interior to more nearly correspond to the tapered form of a mass of asparagus. The carton is preferably loaded from the bottom. The asparagus may be inspected by opening a side wall panel, and may also be opened from the top. In addition to providing slanting side walls, the side spacer panels permit the loaded carton to be lifted through side wall openings without contacting the asparagus. In a first embodiment, the bottom of the carton may be opened by releasing a bottom tongue and slot latch arrangement, while in a second embodiment the bottom of the carton is defined by known interlocking panels.
