Container with liner

In combination, a blank and a liner material for forming a container for holding a food product, the blank comprising:

• a central panel for at least partially forming a flange of the container formed from the blank and the liner material;
• an opening extending in the central panel;
• a plurality of panels for forming a sidewall when the container is formed from the blank and the liner material, each panel of the plurality of panels being foldably connected to the central panel, at least one panel of the plurality of panels being foldably connected to the central panel along the opening;
• and
• at least a first bottom panel and a second bottom panel for forming a bottom wall when the container is formed from the blank and the liner material, the first bottom panel and the second bottom panel being foldably connected to respective panels of the plurality of panels, the second bottom panel comprising a cutout, wherein the second bottom panel is for at least partially overlapping the first bottom panel when the container is formed from the blank and the liner material;
• wherein the blank is for forming a base layer of the container, and the liner material is for being at least partially attached to an inner surface of the base layer when the container is formed from the blank and the liner material;
• wherein the second bottom panel extends along the inner surface of the base layer when the container is formed from the blank and the liner material, and the first bottom panel is for extending along the inner surface of the base layer at least via the cutout when the container is formed from the blank and the liner material.

A method of forming a container for holding a food product, the method comprising:

• obtaining a flat construct, the flat construct comprising a central panel, an opening extending in the central panel, a plurality of panels, a first bottom panel, and a second bottom panel, each panel of the plurality of panels being foldably connected to the central panel, at least one panel of the plurality of panels being foldably connected to the central panel along the opening, the first bottom panel and the second bottom panel being foldably connected to respective panels of the plurality of panels, and the second bottom panel comprising a cutout;
• forming a base layer of the container by folding the plurality of panels to extend at least downwardly from the central panel so that the plurality of panels at least partially forms a sidewall and the central panel at least partially forms a flange and by positioning the first bottom panel and the second bottom panel to at least partially form a bottom wall, wherein the second bottom panel at least partially overlaps the first bottom panel so that the second bottom panel extends along an inner surface of the base layer, wherein the first bottom panel extends along the inner surface of the base layer at least via the cutout;
• and
• attaching a liner to the inner surface of the base layer.
