ABSTRACT:
A tray-like, shallow carton (9) has angled corners and struts (34, 40) that reinforce the load bearing capacity of the carton. End closure flaps (20, 22, 24/25, 26/27) which become end walls of the carton have a pair of closure tabs (42) and sealing tabs (44) that cover and seal the angled corners of the carton (9). The carton (9) may be formed from a rectilinear blank (8) that contains all of the elements of the carton within the rectilinear perimeter of the blank (8). In another embodiment, a blank (208) and carton (209) have a corner structure which includes a tucking tab (248) lying between closure (242) and sealing (244) tabs. In the erected carton (209) the tucking tab (248) and closure tab (242) are pushed into the recess of each respective corner.
