A method, comprising:
- first folding a top panel and a top hinge panel about a back panel and adhesively connecting the top hinge panel to the back panel to form a first hinge;
- second folding a bottom panel and a bottom hinge panel about the back panel and adhesively connecting the bottom hinge panel to the back panel to form a second hinge, the first hinge and the second hinge being on first opposing edges of the back panel;
- and
- third folding a first side panel and a second side panel about the back panel to form a first wall and a second wall of a carton, the first wall and the second wall being on second opposing edges of the back panel, the third folding including
- folding an inner flap panel towards the back panel and across a lower side panel, and
- folding an outer hinge flap outwards to lay along a portion of the back panel, the inner flap panel being directly connected to the lower side panel and the outer hinge flap.
A method, comprising:
- first folding a top panel and a top hinge panel about a back panel and adhesively connecting the top hinge panel to the back panel to form a first hinge;
- second folding a bottom panel and a bottom hinge panel about the back panel and adhesively connecting the bottom hinge panel to the back panel to form a second hinge, the first hinge and the second hinge being on first opposing edges of the back panel;
- third folding a first side panel and a second side panel about the back panel to form a first wall and a second wall of a carton, the first wall and the second wall being on second opposing edges of the back panel;
- fourth folding an inner top flap panel about the top panel to form a third wall of the carton, the fourth folding including positioning the inner top flap panel to be parallel to the top panel and positioning a top front panel to be parallel to the back panel;
- and
- fifth folding an inside bottom front panel about the bottom panel to form a fourth wall of the carton, the fifth folding including contacting the inside bottom front panel against a bottom front panel and contacting an inside bottom panel against the bottom panel, the third wall and the fourth wall being on the first opposing edges of the back panel.
A method, comprising;
- first folding a top panel and a top hinge panel about a back panel and adhesively connecting the top hinge panel to the back panel to form a first hinge;
- second folding a bottom panel and a bottom hinge panel about the back panel and adhesively connecting the bottom hinge panel to the back panel to form a second hinge, the first hinge and the second hinge being on first opposing edges of the back panel;
- third folding a first side panel and a second side panel about the back panel to form a first wall and a second wall of a carton, the first wall and the second wall being on second opposing edges of the back panel;
- fourth folding an inner top flap panel about the top panel to form a third wall of the carton, the fourth folding including positioning the inner top flap panel to contact and lie against the back panel and positioning a top front panel to contact the top panel;
- and
- fifth folding a lower bottom panel and an upper bottom panel about the bottom panel to form a fourth wall of the carton, the fifth folding including positioning a lower front panel to be parallel to the back panel and positioning the lower bottom panel and an upper bottom panel to both be parallel to the bottom panel, the third wall and the fourth wall being on the first opposing edges of the back panel.
