Container

A container made of a card-based or paper-based material such as cardboard or paperboard comprising:

• a first side wall panel;
• a second side wall panel adjacent the first side wall panel and connected to the first side wall panel along a first fold line;
• a third side wall panel adjacent to the second side wall panel and connected to the second side wall panel along a second fold line;
• a fourth side wall panel adjacent the third side wall panel and connected to the third side wall panel along a third fold line;
• a glue panel adjacent the fourth side wall panel and connected to the fourth side wall panel along a fourth fold line, wherein the glue panel is adhered to the first side wall panel, wherein a cross-section through the first, second, third and fourth side-wall panels provides a rectangle;
• a first base panel adjacent a proximal end of the first side wall panel and connected to the first side wall panel along a fifth fold line;
• a second base panel adjacent a proximal end of the second side wall panel and connected to the second side wall panel along a sixth fold line;
• a third base panel adjacent a proximal end of the third side wall panel and connected to the third side wall panel along a seventh fold line;
• a fourth base panel adjacent a proximal end of the fourth side wall panel and connected to the fourth side wall panel along an eighth fold line, wherein:
• each of the first, and third base panels are substantially rectangular;
• the first and third base panels have a first width substantially equal to a second width of the first and third side wall panels;
• the second and fourth base panels have a third width less than a fourth width of the second and fourth side wall panels;
• the first width is measured parallel to the fifth and seventh fold lines;
• the second width is measured parallel to the fifth and seventh fold lines;
• the third width is measured parallel to the sixth and eighth fold lines;
• the fourth width is measured parallel to the sixth and eighth fold lines;
• each of the first and third base panels have a first length, measured perpendicular to each of the fifth and seventh fold lines respectively, substantially equal to half the fourth width;
• each of the second and fourth base panels have a second length, measured perpendicular to each of the sixth and eighth fold lines respectively, substantially equal to half the second width;
• and each of the first and third base panels are folded along each of the fifth and seventh fold lines respectively so as to lay on the inside of the second and fourth base panels;
• and a paper layer covering and affixed to an entirety of an outside surface of all of the side wall panels, covering at least partially and affixed to an outside surface of each of the first and third base panels and covering and affixed to an entirety of an outside surface of each of the second and fourth base panels, wherein the paper layer includes:
• a first strip folded over an axial edge of the first side wall panel;
• and a second strip folded over distal edges of each of the first, second, third and fourth side wall panels, wherein the paper layer includes a first pair of opposing overhanging portions extending laterally beyond a width of the second base panel on opposing sides of the second base panel and a second pair of opposing overhanging portions extending laterally beyond a width of the fourth base panel on opposing sides of the fourth base panel, wherein one of each of the first and second pair of overhanging portions is affixed to the first base panel and the other of each of the first and second pair of overhanging portions is affixed to the third base panel.
