Abstract
The method includes making a blank from a single web of material, the making including first configuring a first side panel and a second side panel to extend from first opposing ends of a bottom panel, second configuring a ramp panel to extend from a first edge of the first side panel, and third configuring a top panel and a lid panel to extend from second opposing ends of the bottom panel.
Claims19
A method, comprising:
- making a blank from a single web of material, the making including
- first configuring a first side panel and a second side panel to extend from first opposing ends of a bottom panel;
- second configuring a ramp panel to extend from a first edge of the first side panel;
- and
- third configuring a top panel and a lid panel to extend from second opposing ends of the bottom panel, the lid panel including a lid top panel and a lid side panel.

A method, comprising:
- making a blank from a single web of material, the making including
- first configuring a first side panel and a second side panel to extend from first opposing ends of a bottom panel;
- second configuring a ramp panel to extend from a first edge of the first side panel, the ramp panel including a first ramp panel and a second ramp panel, the first ramp panel being directly connected to the first side panel along the first edge;
- and
- third configuring a top panel and a lid panel to extend from second opposing ends of the bottom panel,
- wherein the first configuring configures the first side panel so that a first end of the top panel is at least partially supported by the first edge when the blank is formed into an assembled package.

A method, comprising:
- making a blank from a single web of material, the making including
- first configuring a first side panel and a second side panel to extend from first opposing ends of a bottom panel;
- second configuring a ramp panel to extend from a first edge of the first side panel, the ramp panel including first ramp panel and a second panel, the first ramp panel being directly connected to the first side panel along the first edge;
- third configuring a top panel and a lid panel to extend from second opposing ends of the bottom panel;
- and
- defining an opening in the top panel, the opening being configured to allow at least part of the ramp panel and the first edge to be viewable when the blank is formed into an assembled package and the lid panel is in an opened configuration.

A method, comprising:
- making a blank from a single web of material, the making including
- first configuring a first side panel and a second side panel to extend from first opposing ends of a bottom panel;
- second configuring a ramp panel to extend from a first edge of the first side panel, the ramp panel includes a first ramp panel and a second ramp panel, the first ramp panel being directly connected to the first side panel along the first edge;
- and
- third configuring a top panel and a lid panel to extend from second opposing ends of the bottom panel;
- and
- forming the blank into an assembled package, the forming including
- first folding the ramp panel so that the first ramp panel extends diagonally from the first edge to the bottom panel and the second ramp panel lies flat against the bottom panel.

- making a blank from a single web of material, the making including
- first configuring a first side panel and a second side panel to extend from first opposing ends of a bottom panel,
- second configuring a ramp panel to extend from a first edge of the first side panel,
- third configuring a top panel a lid panel to extend from second opposing ends of the bottom panel and
- defining an opening in the top panel;
- and
- forming, the blank into an assembled package, the forming including
- first folding the ramp panel so that a first end of the panel contacts the bottom panel, a second end of the ramp panel being directly connected to the first edge, the first end and the second end opposing each other on the ramp panel, and
- second folding a first major surface of the top panel to be parallel to a second major surface of the bottom panel,
- wherein the defining defines the opening such that at least part of the ramp panel and the first edge are viewable within the assembled package when the lid panel is in an opened position.
