A container for holding one or more articles, the container comprising:
- a base comprising one or more bottom panels and one or more divider panels;
- a crown comprising a flange panel;
- a bottom wall comprising at least the one or more bottom panels;
- a sidewall comprising at least a portion of the base and at least a portion of the crown, wherein the sidewall and the bottom wall extend along an interior of the container;
- a flange comprising the flange panel, the flange extending outwardly from the sidewall;
- and
- a divider comprising the one or more divider panels, the divider extending upwardly from the bottom wall into the interior of the container,
- the crown at least partially overlaps the base, the base comprises at least one base panel foldably connected to the bottom wall, the crown comprises at least one crown flap foldably connected to the flange panel, and the at least one crown flap at least partially overlaps the at least one base panel to at least partially form the sidewall of the container.
In combination, a base blank and a crown blank for forming a container for holding one or more articles,
- the base blank comprising one or more bottom panels and one or more divider panels, wherein the one or more bottom panels are for at least partially forming a bottom wall of the container formed from the base blank and the crown blank, and the one or more divider panels are for at least partially forming a divider of the container formed from the base blank and the crown blank, and wherein the one or more divider panels are for extending upwardly from one or more bottom panels when the container is formed from the base blank and the crown blank;
- and
- the crown blank comprising at least a flange panel for at least partially forming a flange of the container formed from the base blank and the crown blank;
- wherein at least a portion of the base blank and at least a portion of the crown blank are for at least partially forming a sidewall of the container formed from the base blank and the crown blank,
- the base blank comprises at least one base panel foldably connected to the one or more bottom panels, the crown blank comprises at least one crown flap foldably connected to the flange panel, and the at least one crown flap is for at least partially overlapping the at least one base panel to at least partially form the sidewall when the container is formed from the base blank and the crown blank.
A method of forming a container for holding one or more articles, the method comprising:
- obtaining a base blank and a crown blank, wherein the base blank comprises one or more bottom panels and one or more divider panels, and wherein the crown blank comprises at least a flange panel;
- forming the base blank into a base comprising positioning the one or more bottom panels to at least partially form a bottom wall extending along an interior of the container;
- and
- forming the crown blank into a crown at least partially overlapping the base, wherein portions of the crown and the base cooperate to at least partially form a sidewall extending at least partially around the interior of the container, and wherein the flange panel at least partially forms a flange extending outwardly from the sidewall;
- and
- forming a divider comprising positioning the one or more divider panels to extend at least upwardly from the bottom wall,
- the base blank comprises at least one base panel foldably connected to the one or more bottom panels, the crown blank comprises at least one crown flap foldably connected to the flange panel, and the forming the crown blank into the crown comprising positioning the at least one crown flap to at least partially overlap the at least one base panel to at least partially form the sidewall of the container.
