ABSTRACT:
A paperboard blank is provided which can be assembled into a self-supporting food holder for a pita bread sandwich or the like. The paperboard blank has a generally pentagonal main panel defined by score lines. Rear left-side and right-side rip-away extension panels are attached to the pentagonal rear main panel along a left-upper score line and right-upper score line, respectively. A left-side and right-side front panel are attached to the rear main panel along a left-lower score line and a right-lower score line, respectively. A front left-side rip-away extension panel and a front right-side rip-away extension panel are attached to the front panels along score lines. A stand panel is attached to the rear main panel along a center-lower score line, having (i) a center portion which is foldable to partially overlap the right-side and left-side front panels in the assembled food holder, and (ii) a stand portion which is foldable to form an integral stand to support the assembled food holder. Together with various tabs and/or other suitable means for joining panels to one another, the cut-and-scored paperboard blank can be provided as a unitary flat product which can be assembled on-site at a food service area. The assembled paperboard holder has a generally pentagonal food pocket with a flat bottom edge and a center-crested top opening. The top opening of the food pocket is extended by the aforesaid rip-away extension panels, such that it can be readily modified by hand to a smaller size.
