Abstract
A container for holding one or more articles includes a plurality of panels for extending at least partially around an interior of the container. The plurality of panels includes a front panel, a back panel, at least one side panel, a bottom panel, and a divider panel separably connected to a panel of the plurality of panels. The divider panel is pivotable relative to the panel of the plurality of panels to define a compartment in the interior of the container.
Claims55
A container for holding one or more articles, comprising:
- a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the container, the plurality of panels comprising a front panel, a back panel, at least one side panel, a bottom panel, and a divider panel separably connected to a panel of the plurality of panels;
- and
- a plurality of end flaps foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels, the plurality of end flaps comprises at least one front end flap foldably connected to the front panel and at least one divider end flap foldably connected to the divider panel, the at least one divider end flap in at least partial face-to-face contact with the at least one front end flap and attached to the at least one front end flap,
- the divider panel is pivotable relative to the panel of the plurality of panels to define a compartment in the interior of the container.
A blank for forming a container for holding one or more articles, comprising:
- a plurality of panels for extending at least partially around an interior of the container formed from the blank, the plurality of panels comprising a front panel, a back panel, at least one side panel, a bottom panel, and a divider panel separably connected to a panel of the plurality of panels;
- and
- a plurality of end flaps foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels, the plurality of end flaps comprises at least one front end flap foldably connected to the front panel and at least one divider end flap foldably connected to the divider panel, the at least one divider end flap for being positioned in at least partial face-to-face contact with the at least one front end flap and for being attached to the at least one front end flap when the container is formed from the blank,
- the divider panel is for being pivotable relative to the panel of the plurality of panels to define a compartment in the interior of the container formed from the blank.
A method of forming a container for holding one or more articles, comprising:
- obtaining a blank comprising a plurality of panels comprising a front panel, a back panel, at least one side panel, a bottom panel, and a divider panel separably connected to a panel of the plurality of panels, the blank further comprising a plurality of end flaps foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels and comprising at least one front end flap foldably connected to the front panel and at least one divider end flap foldably connected to the divider panel;
- folding the plurality of panels at least partially around an interior of the container and positioning the plurality of end flaps such that the at least one divider end flap is in at least partial face-to-face contact with the at least one front end flap;
- positioning the divider panel such that the divider panel is pivotable relative to the panel of the plurality of panels to define a compartment in the interior of the container;
- and
- attaching the at least one divider end flap to the at least one front end flap.
