ABSTRACT:
An octagonal container having a unique bottom closure and a blank therefor are provided. The body of the octagonal container includes a pair of major wall panels, a pair of minor wall panels, and four corner wall panels. Each major and minor wall panel is foldably connected to a corner wall panel on either side. In the preferred embodiment, one of the minor wall panels is formed from two pieces, which are secured in overlapping relation to one another. The closure section includes a pair of rectangular major cover flaps, a pair of rectangular minor cover flaps, and four polygonal corner flaps. Each major cover flap is foldably connected to a major wall panel. Each corner flap is foldably connected to a corner wall panel. Each minor cover flap is foldably connected to a minor wall panel. In the preferred embodiment, one of the minor cover flaps is formed from two pieces, which are fastened in overlapping relation to one another. In the preferred embodiment, each corner flap features a diagonal score line which divides the flap into an extension arm and an engagement flap, and each major cover flap features a pair of vertical slots aligned in parallel. The closure is formed by first folding the minor cover flaps inward at right angles to the minor wall panels and then folding the major cover flaps inward at right angles to the major wall panels to overlie the minor cover flaps. Finally, the corner flaps are folded inward and secured in overlapping relation to the major cover flaps. In the preferred embodiment, the corner flaps are creased along their diagonal score lines so that each engagement flap extends inward at an angle to the attached reinforcing arm. Then, the engagement flap is inserted into the corresponding slot in a major cover flap and either straightened, or bent backward on the diagonal score line to form a secure, flat-bottomed closure.
