Abstract
The method includes a blank with sidewall panels, a first foot panel connected to a first one of the sidewall panels, a platform panel connected to the first foot panel, and a second foot panel connected to the platform panel, the method including first folding the sidewall panels and connecting respective side edges of the sidewall panels to form sidewalls of a package, second folding the platform panel to fit within a first end of the sidewalls so that the first foot panel and the second foot panel each at least partially press against a respective one of the sidewalls, and connecting the second foot panel to one of the sidewalls to stabilize the platform panel within the first end.

A method using a blank,
- the blank including
- sidewall panels,
- a first foot panel connected to a first one of the sidewall panels,
- a platform panel connected to the first foot panel, and
- a second foot panel connected to the platform panel,
- the method comprising:
- first folding the sidewall panels and connecting respective side edges of the sidewall panels to form sidewalls of a package;
- second folding the platform panel to fit within a first end of the sidewalls so that first major surfaces of the first foot panel and the second foot panel each at least partially press against a respective one of the sidewalls;
- and
- connecting the second foot panel to one of the sidewalls to stabilize the platform panel within the first end.
A method using a blank,
- the blank including
- sidewall panels,
- a first foot panel connected to a first one of the sidewall panels,
- a platform panel connected to the first foot panel, and
- a second foot panel connected to the platform panel,
- the method comprising:
- first folding the sidewall panels and connecting respective side edges of the sidewall panels to form sidewalls of a package;
- second folding the platform panel to fit within a first end of the sidewalls so that the first foot panel and the second foot panel each at least partially press against a respective one of the sidewalls;
- and
- connecting the second foot panel to one of the sidewalls to stabilize the platform panel within the first end, the connecting includes connecting a first distal end of the second foot panel to a back panel of the sidewalls.
